Bolton vs Barnsley Lineups and Other News
Bolton
Bolton wrapped up the regular season with a 3-2 away win vs Bristol Rovers. The Trotters lost only 1 of their last 9 league games and they certainly enter the playoffs full of ambition.
Coach Evans has no fresh injury issues and his options are even a bit better with midfielder Lee and defender Santos fit again. There are some issues out wide as the 2 main wing-backs Iredale and Jones are missing the game injured. However, Bolton have plenty of wide players that can fill the voids.
Barnsley
Barnsley have struggled to maintain their focus in the last 6 rounds (W2 D2 L2) as they had their playoff position secured a long time ago. Last time around lost 0-2 at home vs Peterborough despite using pretty much their best lineup. Come into the playoffs on a 3-game winless run and the confidence is not great.
Star centre-back Andersen and the team’s top goalscorer Cole (15 goals) are touch-and-go for the game. Cole picked up a knock last time around but hopes are he will recover on time.
