Ian Evatt hasn’t reached out with any good luck wishes to Carlisle United’s manager, Paul Simpson, but he might find himself owing him a drink if Carlisle manage to secure an unexpected promotion today. Bolton Wanderers’ hopes hinge heavily on Carlisle defeating Derby County at Pride Park, giving them a chance to grab the second spot on the final day of the season. Goal difference will also play a role, and Evatt is prepared to adopt an aggressive approach if his team gets a chance to capitalize.
Paul Simpson, a former favorite player at Derby in the nineties, has promised that his relegated team will give their all to finish the season honorably. Evatt, who also started his professional career with Derby, trusts that Carlisle will put up a competitive performance.
Regardless of the outcome, Wanderers will be ready for the playoffs, with their first match scheduled against Barnsley, Lincoln, Oxford, or Blackpool next Saturday. Peterborough is assured of fourth place, setting up a potential rematch with Wanderers in a Wembley final next month.
Evatt isn’t getting ahead of himself regarding the playoffs, recognizing the challenge of reaching the final. He anticipates a tough but exciting game against Peterborough, a team he respects greatly for their attacking prowess and consistent performance throughout the season.
Despite Peterborough’s strengths, Evatt is confident in his team’s abilities and looks forward to the challenge ahead.
