JON Dadi Bodvarsson has urged the rest of League One’s play-off hopefuls: Don’t write us off yet!

Fresh from a swaggering 3-0 win at Gillingham, the Icelander says Bolton go into the final 10 games of the season without the same pressure as their rivals in the table.

Ian Evatt’s side ripped through their hosts at Priestfield, with Bodvarsson joining Aaron Morley and Declan John on the scoresheet.

And with Morecambe next up at the UniBol, he reckons the Whites can make a push for the top six by playing ‘their way’.

“Ten games now, I think we should go all-in,” he told The Bolton News.

“We have nothing to lose, everything to gain. So let’s play this football to the end of the season and see where it takes us. Nothing is finished yet.

“You never know what might happen.”

Wanderers’ momentum had been slowed with defeat at MK Dons the previous weekend, with Evatt conceding his side had started to veer away from their footballing principles.

Back on form at Gillingham, Bodvarsson hopes for more of the same between now and May.

“It was a much better performance than MK Dons the other day,” he said. “We just needed to regroup and play our style, be aggressive, high press, and I think it worked out really well.

“At half time we were just told to keep going. We were getting some really good chances, we just didn’t convert them. That was the only thing missing.

“We needed the second goal and got it, fortunately, so then it was just a case of keep playing and try to get more.

“We played good football and we have clear identity. We need to stick with it to the end of the season.”

Bodvarsson was relieved to get on the scoresheet for the second time in four games, admitting he is starting to feel comfortable in a Bolton shirt after his January move from Millwall.

“I was looking at the clock and thinking ‘please, I need to score here’ - it was an open game and I fancied myself,” he said. “It was good to get my second goal and Marlon did really well for me, it was a good team effort.

“Since day one the fans have been brilliant and I have really felt at home at Bolton. When you feel good at a certain place, you play good, and that is how I have been feeling since I came here.”

Bodvarsson was also praised for his defensive efforts at Gillingham, where Wanderers had to be on guard against a barrage of long throws and set pieces, but also maintain the high attacking press which is now becoming their trademark.

“I think in today’s game you have to be prepared to defend too, you can’t be too lazy,” he said.

“The way the gaffer wants us to play, the attacking players are the first defenders and they have to be aggressive, keep pressuring opponents constantly.

“Dion has been brilliant, so has Dapo, they are really high energy players and it is a style of play that really fits me.”
