Keith Andrews has been loaned out and Jay Spearing has been brought in on a permanent deal. Both of these moves, combined with a Chris Eagles injury picked up last Saturday have had a big effect on Bolton's starting XI. I'm sure Dougie Freedman didn't expect to be chopping and changing this early in the season, but sometimes that is the way it goes.

It looks like a 4-5-1 to me, with Ngog dropping into a deeper role behind Beckford. Thoughts?
