Bolton will not change approach – Schumacher

Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher stated he will not alter his team's tactical approach despite a heavy 5-1 home loss to Middlesbrough. Schumacher noted that Middlesbrough's squad quality made the difference rather than Bolton being overly aggressive, pointing out a stark difference in starting lineup costs. Bolton aims to rebound as they prepare to host Bristol City on Saturday.

Bolton faces a demanding schedule with three matches in six days, followed by away fixtures against Charlton Athletic and Derby County. Schumacher confirmed defender Chris Forino-Joseph is fit and available, but strikers Ryan Hardie and John McAtee are sidelined with hamstring and knee injuries, respectively.
