Shrewsbury Town boss Steve Cotterill admits he is unsure if Bolton Wanderers will be full of confidence for their trip to Shropshire.
Wanderers travel to Montgomery Waters Meadow tomorrow afternoon aiming for back to back wins in League One.
Ian Evatt's side can also do the double over Salop with victory and leapfrog Cotterill's side in the table.

Bolton returned to winning ways last time out against Ipswich Town which ended a run of five straight defeats in all competitions.
And Cotterill expressed doubt over whether Wanderers will head to Shropshire full of confidence given their recent run of form, as he targeted extending Salop's unbeaten run tomorrow afternoon.
He told the club website: "It’s a game we’re looking forward to, being at home, and after this, we’re back on the road again for a couple of games.
"It seems as though we’ve had a fair bit on the road this year and a few spells away from home turf. It’s [preparation] been going well, I’ve been really pleased with how the boys have trained this week and hopefully, they can take it into their performance on Saturday.
“I don’t know if they’ll [Bolton] be full of confidence, they’ve won a game, but their form before that wasn’t so good. You never know in this league, sometimes it throws up strange results.
"I’ve watched the game back, the one between Bolton and Ipswich, and they’ve obviously had a good win but we’re looking forward to playing them this weekend.
“I’d imagine that’s what he’ll [Ian Evatt] be doing [telling his side to put together a run of positive results]. He won’t be any different to any of the other managers when they’re in a bit of a sticky run, we’ve had one ourselves.
"Then we go on a run, and we stay unbeaten for five games in the league, everybody wants that, we’re not particularly interested in what other teams want to do, we’re interested in extending our own unbeaten run on Saturday."
One Shrewsbury player who will be familiar with Wanderers is Josh Vela, who made 182 appearances and scored 13 goals for Bolton after coming through the academy ranks at the club.
Vela admits Wanderers remain close to his heart but is hoping he is on the winning side tomorrow.
He said: “I was there for 17 years. I loved my time at Bolton, I came through the academy, built a good relationship with the fans and I still look out for their results but obviously, this weekend I’ll be hoping to take the three points off them.
"It’s a club close to my heart, I’ve played a lot of games for them and I’m glad to see they’re doing well, but on Saturday I hope they don’t do too well!”
