The 2012–13 season was Bolton Wanderers first season in the Football League Championship since 2001 following their relegation from the Premier League. Bolton ultimately missed out on a play-off spot, being overtaken by Leicester City on the final day of the season, meaning Bolton spent the 2013–14 season in the Championship. It covered the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. ==Pre-season== On 24 May, Bolton announced an initial ten fixtures to precede the 2012–13 season. These took in away games at League One sides Crewe Alexandra, Portsmouth, Tranmere Rovers and League Two sides Morecambe and Accrington Stanley. They also played five non league sides, Bamber Bridge, Radcliffe Borough, Chorley, Barrow and F.C. Halifax Town.〔http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2787245,00.html〕 All five of the latter games, along with the game at Accrington Stanley and another game at Daisy Hill which was announced on 2 August,〔http://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/article/bolton-xi-to-face-daisy-hill-2.8.12-289093.aspx〕 were played by a Development squad. An additional game, the only one to be played at the Reebok Stadium, against FC Barcelona B, the reserve side of Barcelona, was announced on 29 June. On 6 June, a tour of Scotland was announced, with the team visiting Ayr United, Hamilton Academical and Falkirk. Bolton began their pre-season games at Ayr United where they drew 1–1, Marcos Alonso scoring midway through the second half before Mark Roberts equalised for the home side. Three days later, Bolton travelled to Hamilton Academical where, after a quiet first half, Hamilton won the game with two quick goals through Andy Ryan and Stephen Hendrie. Bolton completed their Scottish tour with a trip to Falkirk four days later. Falkirk striker Lyle Taylor scored after just fifteen seconds, lobbing Ádám Bogdán, with Chris Eagles equalising fourteen minutes later. The game finished as a draw, meaning that Bolton finished their time in Scotland without a win. The club's first game after returning to England was against Crewe Alexandra. Crewe took the lead on thirteen minutes through Max Clayton, but Bolton equalised when Martin Petrov converted a penalty midway though the first half. With no further goals scored, Bolton still remained without a win during the pre season. The first win of the pre-season came in the following game, when two early goals from Chris Eagles and David N'Gog, playing his first game after injury had kept him out of the previous fixtures, gave Bolton a 2–0 victory over Morecambe. This was followed by a 3–0 loss at Portsmouth, where the home side scored two goals through Kieran Djilali and Liam Lawrence, with Ashley Harris scoring a third in the second half. New signing Benik Afobe made his first appearance for Bolton as a substitute during the game. Afobe made his second appearance for the club, and scored a hat trick, in Bolton's penultimate pre season game, as they beat Tranmere Rovers 3–1, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro replying for the home team. Bolton concluded their pre-season with a 2–2 draw at home at Barcelona B. The home side, playing their only pre-season game at The Reebok Stadium, twice came from behind, Marvin Sordell and a Sergi Gómez own goal cancelling out efforts by Cristian Lobato and Iván Balliu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2012–13 Bolton Wanderers F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
