We said: Doncaster Rovers 0-2 Bolton Wanderers
Despite working with a somewhat depleted squad as injuries and illnesses take their toll, a resilient Bolton will seek to end the season strongly and have that golden touch away from home right now. Doncaster can take the positives from their recent win over Crewe Alexandra, but the visit of Bolton will prove a much sterner test for a side who had previously gone 450 minutes without scoring, and such profligacy could come back to haunt them here.
