Scunthorpe United v Bolton Wanderers

The games are running out and the stakes are getting higher. With just 5 games to go Bolton 2nd in the league 6 points behind Sheffield united and 7 points ahead of 3rd placed Fleetwood make the 95.8 mile trip to glanford park. Scunthorpe in 5th place now 12 points behind Bolton are hanging onto a play off place by a solitary point. Form. Bolton on a run of 5 straight away wins and 9 games unbeaten. Scunthorpe. Let's take a little trip back in time. The end of January Scunthorpe were top with 58 points. Bolton were 3rd with 50. A poor run of P13 W2 D3 L8. Team news. Mavies, Buxton, Wilson out injured for the season and as out of contract all probably played their last for Bolton. Alnwick still out as is madine. Taylor has a chance of playing before the end of the season but not today. Replacement for madine is long or Clayton. Not been impressed by either tbh. Would prefer vela playing off Alf and a recall for derik but derik does not seem that popular as does wilko or Alex who do not even get a mention as possible replacements. Expecting a tough afternoon, hardest of the 5 left. Got the cushion for a couple of bad results but let's hang onto the point we go into the game with minimum.
