Derek Adams believes his Morecambe side will come up against a Bolton Wanderers side high on confidence this evening as he pinpointed how high wing-backs Marlon Fossey and Declan John play as a key threat.
Wanderers host the Shrimps this evening at the University of Bolton Stadium aiming to make it back to back wins in League One.
Ian Evatt's side are seeking to narrow the gap to the play-offs which currently stands at seven points.

The Shrimps meanwhile are aiming to survive in League One and are two points from safety heading into this evening's clash.
Adams is back at the Mazuma Stadium after his departure from Bradford City and is yet to pick up a win in his second stint at Morecambe.
And he is under no illusions of the difficulty of the task facing his side this evening when the Shrimps travel to the UniBol.
He said: "What I've seen of them, they're a very good team. They pass the ball well. Their rotation is excellent. The way that they push their wing-backs forward, they've got centre halves that go into areas and they've even got a wing-back that was at centre forward at one stage of the game (vs Gillingham).
"That just tells you the freedom they've got to go and play and they've done that very well and they've obviously high on confidence.
"They've got a really good squad and they are pushing to get into those promotion places. They've been on an excellent run. It's a really difficult game for us, we understand that.
"We played Ipswich the week before, then Plymouth, we've got Bolton now and we understand how difficult it is but we've got to go there and give it our best shot, as we've done in the previous two games."
Giving a team news update, several players in the Shrimps camp were previously struck down due to illness, including Toumani Diagouraga, Aaron Wildig and Greg Leigh too and did not feature over the weekend in the loss to Plymouth Argyle.
Top scorer Cole Stockton was also affected and came off at Home Park, as did Dylan Connolly due to cramp.
Adams has now given a more positive outlook on the quintet after all have come through training, but they will all be assessed ahead of this evening's encounter.
He said: "They came back in this (Monday) morning and trained today so we're happy about that and we're just assessing them this afternoon to see if they'll be ready for tomorrow night's game but they all trained this morning."
