There is around a third of the League One campaign left to go and the season is approaching its crucial final months.
The regular campaign will be wrapped up at the end of April when it will be known which sides have achieved automatic promotion, a place in the play-offs, or will be playing in League Two next season following relegation.
Bolton Wanderers are one of many sides who have aspirations of being in the top six by the end of April and are currently eight points from sixth-placed Plymouth Argyle, though the Pilgrims have two games in hand.
