Bolton Wanderers are setting their sights on challenging for promotion this season out of League One.
Wanderers finished last season in ninth place, a good achievement for a side newly promoted from League Two. For the 2022/23 campaign though, Ian Evatt’s side are seeking to challenge in earnest for a place in the top six.
It will not be an easy task however as they are not the only side harbouring those same aspirations. The likes of Ipswich Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Wycombe Wanderers, Oxford United, MK Dons and Plymouth Argyle were in the division last season and will no doubt have the same intention.
