SATURDAY: RICARDO Gardner gets the goal that beats West Ham 1-0 to earns Wanderers their first Premiership win in 13 attempts - their first at the Reebok since August 27.
Allied to results elsewhere, the win lifts them out of the bottom three. Stig Tofting, who only received clearance to play 24 hours earlier following his £250,000 transfer from Hamburg has an impressive debut. Michael Ricketts gets the call he has been waiting for for Sven Goran Eriksson after being named in the England squad for the friendly in Holland.
SUNDAY
SATURDAY'S win looks all the more important as Everton are beaten 1-0 at home by Arsenal.
MONDAY
WANDERERS are close to completing the deal that will bring former France World Cup and European Championship winner Youri Djorkaeff to the Reebok from Kaiserslautern for the rest of the season. Sam Allardyce confirms that talks are continuing while chairman, Phil Gartside, says there could be some "good news" later in the week.
TUESDAY
YOURI Djorkaeff, released by Kaiserslautern in the afternoon, flies in, passes a medical and is officially a Wanderer by midnight. Phil Gartside seals the deal having, earlier in the day, issued a "hands off" warning to Premiership predators looking to snatch Ricketts from the Reebok."He's not for sale and the club don't need to sell any players," the chairman says in response to rumours that Spurs are heading a list of clubs trailing the Reebok top scorer who, it is reported, will be sold if Wanderers are relegated.
WEDNESDAY
MICHAEL Ricketts makes his international debut - the first serving Bolton player to be capped by England - playing the first 45 minutes of the 1-1 draw in Holland. Stig Tofting makes his 35th appearance for Denmark in their 1-0 win in Saudi Arabia. Jermain Johnson is sent off as the Reserves lose 3-0 at home to Manchester United. New boy gerald Forschelet makes his debut in midfield and Colin Hendry makes a successful comeback after his injury lay-off. Jani Viander - on loan from HJK Helsinki for the last three months - springs a surprise when he joins Stoke City for £100,000.
THURSDAY
RICKETTS, proud to have made his international debut, says he is glad he made the decision to play for England ahead of Jamaica or United States.
FRIDAY
YOURI Djorkaeff allays fears over his fitness. Looking forward to his Reebok move, he insists: "I'm fitter than ever."
