RESULT! Phil puts his trust in Trotters for second

-

SHEFFIELD UNITED are already guaranteed the title but the second promotion place is still up for grabs.

A Bolton victory over Peterborou­gh would see the Trotters promoted.

A draw would be enough unless third-placed Fleetwood beat Port Vale by at least eight goals.

But Bolton boss Phil Parkinson is not going to concern himself with matters at Highbury.

“I don’t want to have to think about anyone else’s result,” he said.

“We’ve just got to finish the job off and we’re looking for a big performanc­e from the team.”

Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler, meanwhile, claims his side is under no pressure going into today’s clash at home to Port Vale.

“The only thing that we can do is play with that intensity and belief that we played at Port Vale in November and aim to win the game.

“It is not in our hands, it is in the hands of Bolton Wanderers to lose it.”

Like Fleetwood, Scunthorpe and Bradford cannot drop out of the top six places.

Millwall could secure the final play-off place by winning at Bristol Rovers, but if they drop points they will open the door to Southend or Rochdale.

Port Vale must beat Fleetwood for any hope of avoiding relegation.

They would need Gillingham to drop points against Northampto­n, or for Bury or Shrewsbury to lose.

The Shrews travel to Oxford and it would take a 10-goal swing for Vale to move ahead of them.
