What They're Saying
Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon (via Sky Sports): "For me, they're [Norwich] clearly the best squad in the division. They will be clear favorites going into the game tomorrow, which will suit us. We'll like that, we'll enjoy that. They're at home, so this is probably the most difficult game we'll get in the campaign."
Norwich City manager Neil Adams: "The spirit is good. The players aren't stupid. They know they're playing well enough to win games, as we've said many, many times. They're as desperate as we all are to turn those performances into winning games, as we feel they merit. We're eagerly looking forward to Friday night. It's another home game and it's an opportunity to again produce a performance, but take the three points."
