Bolton (H)

March 26th 2021Noah Dougherty

It's a first visit to Nailsworth for Bolton Wanderers tomorrow, as the two sides meet on Sky Sports for a midday kick off.

Ian Evatt's men have hit a real run of form ahead of this one, winning 10 and drawing 2 of their last 12, so Rovers know they have a tough test on their hands.

Here is all you need to know ahead of the game:

What we said:

"Bolton had a big recruitment drive in the summer, then they changed their recruitment policy before Christmas and they had another big recruitment drive in January," explained Mark Cooper.

"The players that they signed in January have really helped them. They’ve got quality throughout their team and their squad.

"They’re on a good run but we’re really looking forward to the game and we can’t wait for it."

What they said:

"So much has changed since the start of the season, so much has evolved in that period. The team’s changed, the team’s evolved, I’ve probably evolved," said Bolton boss Ian Evatt.

"We’ve had a real crazy year, haven’t we, this season. It’s actually at times quite amusing to think back at all those struggles and times and what’s changed.

"But the most important thing is the here and now and what we can do in the future and achieve and we’ve got a fantastic chance of doing something which would be incredibly special."

Team news:

Dan Sweeney remains on the long-term road to recovery while Ebou Adams will again miss out.

Key player: Eoin Doyle

Dublin-born frontman Eoin Doyle began his career in Ireland before joining Hibernian in 2011.

After two years with the Scottish side, Doyle made the move to England. Spells at Chesterfield, Cardiff, Preston-North-End, Portsmouth, Oldham Athletic and Bradford City followed.

It was during a loan spell with Swindon Town that Doyle really showed what he was about, scoring 23 times in 22 games in 2019/20, including a brace at The innocent New Lawn in a 2-2 draw.

He joined Bolton in the summer, and has 15 goals to his name this season.

Last time we met:

Carl Winchester's second-half strike fired Forest Green to a 1-0 victory at Bolton on the opening day of the League Two season.

After a drab opening period, skipper Winchester netted from 30 yards - his low right-foot shot deflecting in off Billy Crellin's left-hand post.
