Bolton Wanderers face Charlton Athletic tomorrow in their first home game of the season. Wanderers supporters responded to last season's excitement by buying over 20,000 season tickets, so the support is there for the lads. Jay Jay Okocha and Gudni Bergsson both have niggling injuries but seem set to shrug them off and face an Addicks side that includes former Wanderer Mark Fish who is sure to receive a lukewarm reception by the supporters still unhappy at the manner he left Bolton a couple of years ago.
Bernard Mendy is sure to be more confident after scoring for France Under 21's in midweek and will get a chance to prove himself along with Okocha.
