Ian Evatt eyes glory with Bolton Wanderers in League One play-off final

“It’s great to witness how this club has grown again, and we are one game away from achieving our primary goal.

“If we’re not enjoying it we’re all doing the wrong thing. It’s hard to get to these games, it’s hard to achieve what we’ve achieved. We have to enjoy it because we’ve been to some dark places in the not-too-distant past.”

Last season’s winning trip to Wembley gave his team the template for success, Evatt believes.

“It’s something we can look at and try to replicate,” he said.

“It’s not just the performance, which was exceptional, but our preparation for that was pretty smooth.

“What we did pre-game and in terms of travel arrangements we know works, so it gives us a head start in arranging all of those things.

“We’ve got good memories there, which can never be a bad thing.”
