For a club that is as steeped in EFL progress in my memory as any other, their recent record in the tournament is horrific.
Bolton reached the quarter-finals stage or better in five of ten seasons between 1995 and 2005, reaching the final twice in that time.
In the last 12 years, they haven't passed round three; however, they have at least won their opening round in the last four seasons, perhaps standing them in good stead here.
🔵 Sheffield Wednesday Have Little Room to Spare to Rotate
There will be some part of Wednesday's squad and staff that will be glad of this tie. It gives them another chance to get their fitness up following a very curtailed pre-season, and it eases them into the campaign a bit more without worrying about their league status.
However, it is also almost impossible for them to rotate. This could hinder their competitiveness here but also affect who might be fully fit for the weekend as well.
Either way, progress in this competition is unlikely to be top of the list of priorities for the season.
