Notes
  1. Record against Woolwich Arsenal included
  2. Record against Small Heath included
  3. Record against Chesterfield Town included
  4. The 2019–20 EFL League One was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with league positions decided on a points-per-game basis. Bolton did not get to play the second game against this team during that season and therefore the total number of games played is an odd number.
  5. Record against Leicester Fosse included
  6. Record against Orient included
  7. Record against Newton Heath included
  8. Record against Burslem Port Vale included
  9. Record against Stoke included
  10. Record against Swansea Town included
