BOLTON will be aiming to end their home hoodoo which has seen them slip out of the Division One automatic promotion frame when they take on Stockport County at the Reebok tonight.
Wanderers have not won at home since January 13 and boss Sam Allardyce saw his side slip out of the top two in Division One for the first time since December following Blackburn's five goal thumping of Burnley at the weekend.
But the Bolton boss still believes his men can claim automatic promotion.
"It is still wide open for second spot," he said.
"Any team that is capable of putting a run together over the last eight games can come into the frame.
"Blackburn Rovers are the form team at the moment and they are playing very well.
"But now that they are second they might start feeling the pressure is on them.
"We have to start winning our home games to put them under pressure."
Bolton's leading scorer Michael Ricketts serves the second of a two match ban but Allardyce has no other injury worries.
