Bolton Wanderers against Stockport head-to-head this season, Stockport have the bragging rights. Stockport won the first game 2-0 and then in the second game, it was 2-2. So, Stockport have their number.
Bolton obviously come here last time against Oxford and they just bottled it. They I don't even think they had a shot on target. And then obviously Stockport most recently against Luton in the virtual trophy final lost that one 3-1. So, both teams haven't got the best record. But, it's one game. One game to decide it all. Championship awaits the winner, like I say, and in the sunshine with friends and family, [music] does not get any better. It's the calm before the storm. Fans are slowly trickling in.

I think if they go out and play the game and not the occasion, use the width of the pitch, exploit our fast players down the wing and what have you, I don't want to predict a score, but I feel very confident, very relaxed, and I think we're going to do it today.
