EX-ROVER Scott Sellars is hoping to have another shot at the Premiership - even though he may not be in control of his own goal.
Bolton ace Sellars went in search of Wembley glory today with Wanderers tackling Watford in the Division One play-off final.
Twice before - both with Rovers - the injury-plagued midfielder has confronted the play-off system face to face.
He has known success and failure: "I've known the winning feeling and the despair of losing too," says Sellars.
After 10 weeks on the treatment table with ankle problems, Sellars was unlikely to start against Graham Taylor's in-form Watford, but he was hopeful of making the subs bench.
"I'm optimistic about being involved at Wembley," he says. "I have been training without any problems although I do concede that I have been out a long time. The Premier League is a massive prize and we will have 30,000 fans helping us get there."
Colin Todd, making his first trip to the Twin Towers as Bolton boss, was likely to stick to his proven play off team, with Bob Taylor and Eidur Gudjohnsen providing the firepower and Andy Todd and Mark Fish the central men at the back. Left back Robbie Elliott returned after suffering the effects of concussion.
Squad: Banks, Cox, Elliott, Frandsen, Todd, Fish, Johansen, Jensen, Gudjohnsen, Taylor, Gardner, Bergsson, Warhurst, Hansen, Phillips, Fullarton, Sellars, Whitlow, Holdsworth.
