Bolton Wanderers will miss Conor Bradley against Accrington Stanley this weekend but manager Ian Evatt does not hold the defender's suspension against him.
The right wing-back - who has scored three goals in all competitions this term - picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Barnsley last time out. Bradley, who is on loan for the season from Liverpool, clocked up the bookings and will now have to sit out as Wanderers go in search of three points at the Wham Stadium.
Evatt's men are looking to rediscover their away form after consecutive defeats on the road. After last weekend's stalemate with the Tykes, Wanderers head into the Stanley clash just outside of the play-off spots. The absence of Bradley will not help their cause on Saturday, but the Bolton chief has sympathy for his young player.

He said: “I think in the modern game you get booked for very little. It’s quite easily done, to get yellow cards very quickly though any type of tackle. Conor is the type of player that flies into tackles and that is really intense with the way he plays. I wouldn’t want to take that away from him. He’s more a victim of the system than anything else I would suggest.”
