BOLTON Wanderers have been given a tough start to the new season.
After the opening-day derby trip to Burnley, Dougie Freedman’s Whites face seven teams who are all in the top half of the bookies’ odds list for promotion.
Bolton follow up the visit to Turf Moor when they kick off their Reebok campaign against relegated Reading.
A visit to Nottingham Forest followed by title favourites QPR at home scarcely gives them much respite in terms of difficulty.
Neither does the next match, a visit to Ewood Park to face old rivals Blackburn.
