Bolton travel to Cheltenham tomorrow night hoping to make it into the last 16 of the EFL Trophy. Well, hope, is it even a priority?

Anyway, to progress, Bolton need to win, either in 90 minutes or on penalties. Expect rotation within the uaual confines of the Trophy’s rules.

Vital Quotes:

“We have been on a terrific run but I honestly think that was the toughest game we have faced. The underdog came in with nothing to lose.’

Cheltenham Town Team News:

I can’t find anything. Eleven players will start, with some others on the bench. Up to three can come on. Former Latvia boss Gary Johnson will pick those names.

Player to watch: Billy Waters

Bolton Wanderers Team News:

Although we have to play a strong team, we do have a loophole tomorrow. As we made changes in the FA Cup on Saturday, potentially some of these fringe players could go again.

Derik is still out, as is Gary Madine. Max Clayton could get a go at some point while Josh Vela returns from suspension.

Player to watch: Max Clayton

If only because it would be nice to get him back out on the pitch.
