The Road Ahead......

1. Aston Villa (A) 5th April :- An absolutely crucial game, maybe a six-pointer given both the importance of starting to win and the kind of opposition that waits ahead (Messrs Tottenham Hotspurs and Chelsea included). Failure to pick up anything less than 3 solid points at Villa Park will hit the campaign real hard. Given Aston Villas standing at No. 8 its going to take a real good game to get past them.
2. West Ham United (H) :- One of the easier games on view, need to make the best of it in view of the imposing opposition waiting ahead. Once again, West Ham's standing in the table (No. 10) makes them a not-so-easy opposition to deal with.
3. Middlesborough (A) :- Another of the mid of the table oppositions, Boro placed at 35 pts are unlikely to be drawn into the relegation strife bottom of the table. Bolton though positively need to pick up points from these three encounters to stand any chance!
4. Spurs (A) :- Spurs, an age-old nemesis for Bolton, should again prove to be quite tough given the stars in their kitty. They may have hugely underperformed yet again, being only at the 11th spot, but they have the ability to beat any team on their day.
5. Sunderland (H) :- A game with another of the relegation rivals, this game should be a virtual 6 pointer. One of the easier targets, given Sunderland's weak and inexperienced line-up, notwithstanding Keane's amazing rise as a manager. This game should decide the fate once and for all!!
6. Chelsea (A) :- The toughest of the lot, if they have to ensure their safety, they gotta do it before this game. Leaving it so late and against such a rival would mean a momentous task which seems quite improbable given the current form.....
