January proved to be a tough nut to crack for Wanderers with them enjoying mixed fortunes in Sky Bet League One as well as suffering a spirited exit from the Emirates FA Cup.
The Whites opened the calendar year with a 2-2 draw away at Coventry City as Max Clayton marked his return from injury with an injury-time equaliser, before fighting out a 0-0 draw with Premier League Crystal Palace in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Returning to league action with a 2-1 home defeat against Swindon Town despite David Wheater's venomous volley, a cup replay away at Crystal Palace was next up for Bolton as they were unlucky to exit the competition despite James Henry's stunning opener.
Seeing their league trip to Southend United postponed because of a frozen pitch, the Trotters finished the month with a 2-1 home defeat against Charlton Athletic as Zach Clough scored in what would prove to be his final appearance for the Club.
Enjoying a lively end to the transfer window, the highlight of which saw fan favourite Adam Le Fondre return to Macron Stadium on loan, Wanderers also brought in fellow loanees Chris Long and Viv Solomon-Otabor.
