“Should either player not feature, however, Bolton may find some solace in statistics – which point to a surprisingly positive trend.
The pair have only both been absent from a starting line-up at the same time once – a 2-1 home win against Wycombe Wanderers in February which also represented the last run-out for top-scorer Dion Charles.
Santos has played 40 games in all competitions and missed 14; on those occasions, Bolton have won eight, drawn two, and lost twice – against Championship side Middlesbrough in the League Cup and Carlisle United at home in League One.
Sheehan has played 49 times in all competitions and missed seven games entirely. Wanderers have won five of those outings, their only defeat at home to Bristol Rovers in December.”
From the BEN. So not all doom and gloom if Sheehan and/or Santos aren’t fit.
Would prefer them in, but a decent record without them.
I’d hope Toal central, Forrester (or Jones) right and Iredale Left.
Can’t make my mind up whether Morley (direct replacement) or Dempsey (Tommason as CDM) in if Sheehan unfit.
