It’s all about the team, and it’s tempting to say Sam Morsy…
But I’m going Lee Evans if he had a strong performance and his passing is influential, and he wins the midfield battle alongside our captain, then it will lift our team BIG TIME
I think Ball would have been perfect today… and is going to make a difference against the bigger teams… but the 2x 11 quality players kicks in and we have Evans ready and with quality
I’m excited about the second half attacking cavalry of JJ, Aluko and Jackson (if they all make the bench). Bolton have similar depth in attack! |  |

The goalie and Leif Davis
We have to hope Walton is wide awake when the inevitable defensive howlers happen. And even a modicum of attacking threat down the right is a season changer |  |

Aluko.
Capable of producing the bit of skill to unlock them as well as smashing one in from distance if that's what it takes. |  |

Agree we’ll have a defensive blip and we’ll need Walton
Leif won’t start I think, Leigh is in form and fully bedded in.
And it’s down the left, we need Burns firing after a quiet pre-season, the excellent cross Tuesday will have helped | |

Burns.. forget about the attacking aspect today. He's gonna be busy with Boltons flying winger. He ripped us a new one at home last season. Stop him and we stop the majority of Boltons attacks. |  |

Morsy when he gets sent off. |  |

Penney is better than Leigh IMO | | | |

There's a hell of a whiff of bird sh!t round here today. Someone must be nervous. Could it be to with a result yesterday which ruffled feathers elsewhere but barely got a mention here?
To answer the original question, it has to be Morsy, he drives us on and keeps the tempo high. |  |

Ladapo for me. Needs to hit the ground running and I think he will. | | | |

The last game I went to was Bolton last year at PR. Please not a repeat of that!
That Afolayan guy tore our defence apart.

In terms of physicality and 'winning the midfield battle' I think Evans is the weak link (if there is one), but if he gets time to pass the ball and switch play like he can do, like he did on his debut a year ago, it won't matter too much. |  |

LWB.
Really like to see a strong left side today – matching or at least approaching how our right side play in defence and attack. I think a strong performance down the left, with Leigh or Davis at the heart of it, will give massive confidence to the squad. And it will indicate we've taken or are taking a step forward from last year. |  |

That is wierd. You ask who is the key player, and in the next sentence say it’s all about the team. | | | |

Aluko also for me, he's a match winner on his day. |  |

Ladapo
This is either a genius move, or we end up 9th. We can't afford to have him spend a month finding his feet. |  | | |

I haven't seen Leigh so can't comment.
Have you seen much of him? | |

I’d say Leigh better in the air but Penney better technically and pace wise
Will be interesting to see how Leif does if plays - Leeds didn’t want him did they | | | |

There's a pre-trolling research course available at UEA. | |

Morsy is key, of course. I think he'll weigh in with more than 10 from midfield this season but he's a great captain. I've seen it said that we know what the team will be today, but I think we'll always be guessing this season before an hour of kickoff. |  |

All of them. Play to their potential and we'll be OK.
But the real key is McKenna. I want to see a team that's well coached, players improve over time (even if that means they move on to a higher level), an individual plan for each match to set out to win each game (he's not a fan of draws based on his comments).
For years this is what we've lacked.
I've hope we have it now. |  |
