But the fresh campaign has not got off to a winning start, with Wanderers losing all four games they have played so far under new boss Ian Evatt.

Wanderers have lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation in the opening three games of the season. But Evatt changed that at the Jobserve Community Stadium against the U's and Bolton played with a 4-2-3-1 set up.And the Trotters boss has explained why he moved away with how Wanderers have lined up in recent matches for the trip to Essex, citing dominating possession more being at the core of the decision and, in turn, building attacks better.

Wanderers have started life in League Two having been relegated from the third tier after last season's table was decided on a points per game basis in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Evatt has previously spoken of 'eradicating' a 'ingrained losing' culture at the University of Bolton Stadium and that 'you could almost smell it'.

Wanderers head to Colchester United on Saturday for their first away day of the season.And Evatt believes that though a minority of fans have criticised the season's results so far, the Bolton head coach feels the majority have been positive and understand that 'Rome wasn't built in a day'.

Wanderers have tasted defeat in all three games they have played so far this campaign. Ian Evatt's side have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Bradford City, lost to League One Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy, and last weekend succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Forest Green Rovers in their League Two curtain raiser.
