Win, lose or draw today, Bolton Wanderers have run out of excuses. Last Saturday's result didn't go the Trotter's way, but now it's time to start the climb up the table. They have not overcome their poor home form, but this is not a home match. Jermaine Beckford is out injured, and Dougie Freedman has gone back to the 4-2-3-1 in response. It's a chance for Wanderers to make a statement against a club fighting for a playoff spot.
