Ahead of the game, Bolton boss Ian Evatt spoke to the media at a pre-match press conference and here's a transcript of what he had to say to broadcasters.
You must be glad to be back at home as the recent form here has been really good?
“Yes it has, but that’s gone now. We’ve got 10 games left and six of those are at home and we want to try and win all of our home games and if we can and we can nick things away from home, it gives us a chance but we’re not resting on our laurels.
"We know there’s work to do, we know there’s improvement to come and that starts tomorrow night.”
Two home games on the spin, so you’d like to think there’s an advantage there?
“Yes but only if we make it that way. We have to concentrate on our performances and make sure we keep doing the right things and listening, learning and improving and then we really need the fans to make this a cauldron really and a really intimidating atmosphere and if they can do that for us and we can perform for them, that marriage can really hurt opponents and cause them problems.”
