Wanderers take on Queens Park Rangers this weekend, fresh from claiming their first league win of the season in their last outing. With morale high at Macron Stadium, bwfc.co.uk highlights five talking points ahead of the Whites' Sky Bet Championship clash with the R's.
1. Off the mark!
After managing to clinch their first league victory of the season last time out at home to Sheffield Wednesday, Wanderers will be looking to build on that result when they host Queens Park Rangers this Saturday.
Focused on climbing the Sky Bet Championship table as quickly as positive, the Whites will be hungry to make home advantage count once again as they look to claim back-to-back wins.
Bolton fans have had to wait a while to see their side win two league games in row in the second tier, with it last happening over the festive period in 2014.
Having got one monkey off their back, will the Trotters be able to remove a second as they face a side who have not won on the road themselves since February?
Tickets are available for the game online, with fans able to buy in advance and print at home to avoid queues at Macron Stadium.

2. Karl Henry
Having enjoyed an impressive start to his Whites career, Karl Henry will line up against his former employers when Queens Park Rangers come to town on Saturday.
The midfielder joined Bolton on a free transfer last month, having been released by The R's at the end of last season.
Making 118 appearances and scoring two goals in his four seasons at Loftus Road, the 34-year-old will be looking to get the better of his former club at Macron Stadium.
And with his arrival at BL6 coinciding with an upturn in the Trotters' form, could Henry help Wanderers claim their second win in the space of a week?
3. GAME Community Challenge Cup
Young fans will be given the chance to win prizes as part of GAME’s Community Challenge at Macron Stadium this Saturday.
Set to be held in the North Stand Upper’s play station, youngsters willing to get involved in a FIFA 18 Skills Challenge will pit their wits against each other for the chance to win a medal, a loyalty card reward and a Bolton Wanderers themed prize.
The Community Cup is open to any age level or skill level and gives all gamers taking part the chance to be our Community hero, your 'Local Hero' and win the Cup for Wanderers!
Free to play and open to all young fans, the winner will be announced at half-time during the game against Queens Park Rangers.
4. Injury news
After missing out against Sheffield Wednesday due to a family bereavement Jem Karacan is back in contention for Saturday’s tie against QPR.
Elsewhere, Aaron Wilbraham comes back into the equation after recovering from his hip injury, while Chris Taylor still remains unavailable due to a knee ligament issue.
Derik Osede will also be hoping to feature for the first time since his injury against Middlesbrough on 9 September.
5. Ameobi and Vela
Sammy Ameobi made his second home debut in the 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday and was crowned Man of the Match for his scintillating performance. The winger capped off his return with a wonderful curling effort in the tenth minute of the game.
Ameobi terrorised the Wednesday defence and his departure for Craig Noone was met with a standing ovation from staff and fans alike.
Josh Vela made return to the side following his injury lay-off against Leeds United on the opening day of the season. The midfielder provided energy and creativity in the final third allowing Darren Pratley and Karl Henry to sweep up in midfield.
Vela showed his determination and warrior-like mentality as he battled through the pain barrier to finish the game after taking an injection at half-time.
The duo’s return to Macron Stadium gave everyone involved a lift – more of the same Saturday please, gents.
