'Sharp and ruthless' - Wanderers fans give verdict on emphatic Longridge victory
Wanderers kicked off pre-season with an emphatic 9-0 win at Longridge Town, but what have fans had to say?
Dion Charles scored a hat trick, with Kyle Dempsey, Elias Kachunga, Amadou Bakayoko, George Johnston, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Dapo Afolayan also on target.
There were plenty of positives for Ian Evatt and company as preparations continue for the upcoming League One season.
Here's what supporters had to say about the game on social media
Any fan would be happy with a 9-0 win! Can only beat the opposition in front of you 👊🏻

39 years watching the Wanderers home and away and abroad, the first time I’ve ever seen them score NINE. The competition for places is going to be so tough but the depth of our squad is so strong. Great little club is @LongridgeTownFC Good luck for the new season 👏👏👏 #bwfc https://t.co/5P7MGhxnWM

Great night back @LongridgeTownFC, scoreline an excessive reflection on Longridge, gave a good account of themselves, especially first 45. Gulf in class but gave it everything, fair play. Bolton too much though, oozed class. Exciting to watch. More of the same please. #bwfc https://t.co/LvR2eRY57j

I think the fact the squad hasn't changed too much is what can make us title contenders, hard work done recruitment wise in Jan gave us a strong squad and we hit form, we've not got a solid team who know each other, now with half a season playing and a full pre season #bwfc

Still have MJ, Sheehan and Isgrove to add to that squad too, great to see us so sharp for the first game and being ruthless, it's a good habit to take into the season. #bwfc
