Bolton Wanderers finished ninth in the recently concluded regular League One season.
Bolton's form in the second half of the campaign saw them shoot up the League One table and make the top 10. Wanderers sat 18th in the third tier of English football following a mid-January loss to Wycombe Wanderers.
But after a 2-0 win at home versus Ipswich Town on January 15, Wanderers lost just three more games for the rest of the campaign as they moved up into the top half of the table, ending the season eight unbeaten with four straight wins and a tally of 73 points. It is encouraging form which the Whites will be hoping to carry into next season and target a promotion charge in earnest.
