• Figeuroa has also contributed 16 interceptions, the 4th highest of any player in the league, and done so while only giving away 4 fouls.
• Bolton suffered a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in their last game, and in so doing covered more ground than they have in any other game this season (122.1km). Darren Pratley covered the most distance for them with 12.6km.
• Bolton are now bottom of the table having conceded 21 goals in 7 games including 15 at home
• Defender Gary Cahill continues to be the subject of transfer speculation, although the fact the defender has won just 50% of tackles attempted may cause some to ask if he is concentrating on life at Bolton
• Ivan Klasnic remains Bolton’s top ranked player in the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index in 58th place. The striker’s early goals this season came from getting 100% of all shots at goal on target so far, and Bolton fans will hope he can return to scoring form.
