Bolton's Half-Time Warning: Schumacher Urges Focus After Win
12 May
Summary
- Bolton secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their play-off semi-final.
- Johnny Kenny is out for the rest of the play-offs with knee ligament damage.
- Manager Steven Schumacher emphasizes the tie is only halfway complete.
Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher has issued a stern warning to his squad, emphasizing that their League One play-off semi-final against Bradford City is only at its halfway point, despite a first-leg victory.
The home side secured a narrow 1-0 win at the Toughsheet Community Stadium thanks to a goal from Amario Cozier-Duberry. The return leg is scheduled for Thursday in West Yorkshire, where Bolton will face a potentially intimidating atmosphere.
Schumacher acknowledged the importance of taking a lead into the second leg but stressed that the hard work is far from over for his team as they strive to return to the Championship.
Adding to the challenge, Bolton will be without Johnny Kenny for the remainder of their play-off campaign. The midfielder sustained knee ligament damage, which Schumacher confirmed will keep him sidelined. Kenny has been a significant contributor with six goals and several assists since his loan move from Celtic in February.
