Manager Neil Lennon has been in front of the cameras previewing the game against Blackpool tomorrow.
With our opponents languishing at the bottom of the Championship, with a mass of points away from safety, depending on how other results go today, tomorrow’s game could see them officially relegated with weeks of the season still remaining and whilst Lennon has some sympathy for former playing colleague (their assistant manager) Alan Thompson, he’s said the aim remains for Bolton to take care of themselves.
Curiously, the last time Lennon faced off against their manager Lee Clark, he was manager of Birmingham City and following the game he got his marching orders.
‘Lee will be sick of the sight of me – this is the third time this season. He`s got the hardest job in the Championship. It`s almost an impossible job, really. It won`t come as a big surprise to anyone if and when they do get relegated. I`m sure Lee is planning for next season already and he`ll know what he needs. He`s been there and done it, he`s got experience even though he`s young, and I wish him well apart from the weekend.’
With Bolton going into the game as clear favourites, Lennon said it would be anything but an easy game for us though and he knows that given their last performance against Leeds United, if we are complacent or continue our trend of conceding goals at the end of games, we will be made to pay.
‘Everyone thinks it`s a gimme but it`s not. Every game you should guard against complacency. I want to attack, be on the front foot. The fans deserve a performance – and that`s what we want to give them. Blackpool have had a really difficult season and I don`t know how they`ll approach the game. It is hard to assess them. I watched them against Leeds and they did quite well, so I`d guess away from home that they wouldn`t change too much.’
