Bolton Wanderers’ patched-up squad battled valiantly on the opening day of the League One season only to go down to a 2-0 defeat against Wycombe Wanderers.
In years gone by this might have been cause for concern.
Not so much this year.
Wanderers half-arsed squad of last season was, thankfully, nowhere to be seen. Yeah we had one or two members but thankfully the real poison in that senior squad was well and truly vanquished.
This allowed youth to flourish and nobody shone brighter than young Lindsey Yoan Zouma.
Now I know us Bolton fans are prone to hyperbole, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the young Frenchman is the best defender in world football today.
I would also like to propose that from here on in and forevermore we re-christen the little scallywag in three simple letters. No longer Lindsey Yoan Zouma, but the best defender in the world, none other than the man LYZ.
What a cracking debut. More of the same please.
