Ironic that he rests more than half the team for the second leg, and his arguably best player is injured and out for the rest of the season in the warm-up of the first game! Is this why he decided to rest so many players for the second leg?
Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen will miss the rest of the season because of a back problem picked up in the warm-up against Sporting Lisbon on 6 March.
It means the Finn, 32, may have played his last game for Bolton as he is out of contract at the end of the season.
Trotters boss Gary Megson, who is using Ali Al Habsi as cover in goal, told the club website: "Jussi needs six weeks of rest to try to resolve this problem.
"He needs some form of surgery. Either way, his season is over."
