It covers the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. As Bolton Wanderers didn't win the 2011–12 Premier League title, it is the 73rd time that they have competed at the top level without winning the title, the most of any club.
The home strip for the 2011–12 season was revealed on 12 May 2011 bearing the 188 Bet logo.[1] The Reebok home strip has a white and blue body with a white right arm and a blue left arm. The away strip is all black with a yellow trim. Last seasons away strip was retained and used in Bolton's 2-0 loss away to Newcastle on 9 April.

Premier League
The fixtures for the 2011–12 season were announced on 17 June at 09:00 BST, and revealed that Bolton will begin the season away from home for the first time in six years. Bolton travelled to Loftus Road to take on newly promoted Queens Park Rangers on 13 August 2011. Goals from Gary Cahill, Ivan Klasnić, Fabrice Muamba and an own goal from Danny Gabbidon gave Bolton a 4–0 win. This was their best season opener since the first game of the 2001–02 season.[16] They finished the weekend in joint first place with their next opponents, Manchester City, to whom they suffered a 2–3 home defeat. Manchester City scored two first-half goals from David Silva and Gareth Barry before Ivan Klasnić pulled one back shortly before halftime from Martin Petrov's cross for his second goal of the season. Edin Džeko restored Manchester City's two-goal cushion straight after halftime before Kevin Davies pulled a goal back with a header midway through the second half from Petrov's free-kick. The Saturday after, Bolton travelled to Anfield to take on Liverpool. The home side dominated the game, and scored three goals from Jordan Henderson, Martin Škrtel and Charlie Adam before Ivan Klasnić scored a consolation goal in stoppage time.
After an international break, which saw Gary Cahill become the first Bolton player since Ray Parry in 1959 to score for England, Bolton's next home game was against the other Manchester club, Manchester United. In suffering a 0–5 loss, Bolton recorded their worst home defeat since their return to the Premier League in 2001. It was also the worst home defeat at the Reebok Stadium and the worst home defeat since Manchester United won 6–0 at Burnden Park in 1996. A Wayne Rooney hat trick and a Javier Hernández brace causing the damage. A week later there was a second successive home fixture, this time against newly promoted Norwich City. Two first half goals from Anthony Pilkington and Bradley Johnson saw the away side on their way to their first win at Bolton since 1982. A second half Martin Petrov penalty was not enough for Bolton, who also saw Ivan Klasnić sent off for a head butt on Marc Tierney. The defeat, Bolton's fifth successive at home including the previous season, saw them fall into the relegation zone just over a month after leading the league. A week later they fell to bottom with a 3–0 loss at Arsenal, two goals from Robin van Persie and a late strike from Alex Song doing the damage. For the second week in a row they also had a man sent off, David Wheater being shown red for a foul on Theo Walcott. Bolton remained bottom going into an international break with a 1–5 home loss to Chelsea. Former loanee Daniel Sturridge added two goals to a Frank Lampard hat trick. This was Chelsea's ninth straight win at the Reebok Stadium, but Bolton did finally score a goal against them at home, through Dedryck Boyata, something they hadn't managed since 2002–03. This was Bolton's worst start to a top flight season since 1902–03, when they were relegated.
Bolton returned after the international break with an away game at local rivals
Returning from the break, Bolton played West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. Jerome Thomas scored first for the home side but this was quickly levelled through an Ivan Klasnić penalty. However, Shane Long won the game for West Bromwich midway through the second half, leaving Bolton still just inside the relegation zone. The week after, Bolton faced Everton at The Reebok Stadium. David Wheater was sent off midway through the first half, his second red card of the season. Second half goals from Marouane Fellaini and Apostolos Vellios gave Everton a 2–0 win and Bolton finished November still just inside the relegation zone. Bolton suffered a third successive defeat the following weekend, losing 3–0 at Tottenham Hotspur. Goals from Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe followed Gary Cahill's dismissal, Bolton's fifth of the season. This red card was overturned by the FA the following Tuesday after Bolton successfully appealed against it. The result left Bolton in nineteenth place, ahead of Wigan Athletic on goal difference only. A week later, Bolton returned to the foot of the table after a 2–1 home defeat to Aston Villa. Two first-half goals from Marc Albrighton and Stiliyan Petrov put Villa into a half time lead, before Ivan Klasnić scored his seventh goal of the season early in the second half. Before the match there was a minutes applause in memory of former player Gary Speed, who had died a fortnight earlier. This was followed by another loss, this time to Fulham at Craven Cottage. Two first-half goals, the second coming just 66 seconds after the first, from Clint Dempsey and Bryan Ruiz ensured that Bolton stayed at the bottom of the table after a 2–0 loss. With only one team in Premier League history surviving at the end of the season when being bottom at Christmas, Bolton went into the local derby at Blackburn Rovers the following Tuesday knowing that only a victory would prevent this. An early Mark Davies goal, followed by Nigel Reo-Coker's first goal for the club, and his first goal in over three years, midway through the first half took Bolton into the lead and although Yakubu pulled one back in the second halfway, Bolton leapfrogged their opponents and moved up one place. The next match was against Newcastle United on Boxing Day, where two individual mistakes led to Newcastle's goals in a 2–0 win, Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba scoring. Bolton's final game of 2011 came at The Reebok against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 31 December, the game finishing 1–1, Bolton's first draw since their game at Newcastle United on 26 February, a run of thirty four consecutive matches. Sam Ricketts, making his return after a ten-month absence due to injury, put Bolton ahead midway through the first half from twenty yards, but Steven Fletcher equalised early in the second half. This draw coupled with Blackburn Rovers's win at Manchester United ensured that Bolton would finish 2011 bottom of the Premier League.
Bolton's first game of 2012 came in midweek against Everton on 4 January. Tim Howard, Everton's goalkeeper, opened the scoring in bizarre fashion when a wind assisted clearance from his own penalty area took on bounce just outside Bolton's penalty area and looped over Ádám Bogdán. Goals from David N'Gog and Gary Cahill in an eleven-minute period gave Bolton the three points. This result moved Bolton up into eighteenth, one point and one place from safety. This was the first time since the previous April that Bolton had avoided defeat in two consecutive games. The run didn't last however, with Bolton going down 3–0 at Manchester United ten days later. After Bogdán had saved a Wayne Rooney penalty midway through the first half, Paul Scholes scored his first goal since coming out of retirement just before the break. Danny Welbeck and Michael Carrick added two further goals in the second half as Bolton slipped to nineteenth. However, by virtue of kicking off in the late game the following Saturday, Bolton knew that they would rise out of the bottom three with a win against Liverpool at The Reebok. An early Mark Davies goal was followed by Nigel Reo-Coker's second goal of the season. Craig Bellamy pulled on back late in the first half but Grétar Steinsson's first goal of the season secured the points in the second half as Bolton won by the same scoreline as Liverpool had done in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. The result took Bolton out of the relegation zone for the first time in over three months.
The club started February with a goalless draw at home to Arsenal which kept them just outside the relegation zone, two points ahead of eighteenth placed Blackburn Rovers. This was Bolton's first clean sheet since the 5–0 victory over Stoke in November and their first goalless draw since the opening day of the previous season when they had drawn at home to Fulham. However, they returned to the relegation zone the following weekend with a 2–0 loss at Norwich City, goals from Andrew Surman and Anthony Pilkington giving Norwich their first double over Bolton in forty years. A week later, they suffered their first home defeat of 2012 when losing 2–1 to relegation rivals Wigan Athletic. A first half goal from Gary Caldwell was cancelled out by Mark Davies midway through the second half. However, James McArthur put Wigan back in front with fifteen minutes left and the result caused Bolton to fall a further place to nineteenth. A fortnight later, Chelsea completed the double over Bolton with a 3–0 win at Stamford Bridge. Second half goals from David Luiz, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, the latter's 12th career goal against Bolton, leaving Bolton in 19th.
Bolton began March with a derby at league leaders
Bolton's next game was due to be away at
The beginning of April saw Bolton's winning run came to an end when they suffered a 3–0 home loss to Fulham, a team that they had not beaten at home since 2007. Two Clint Dempsey goals in the first half were added to by Mahamadou Diarra late in the second half. Results elsewhere, however, meant that Bolton remained in sixteenth place. Two days later, Bolton travelled to high flying Newcastle United but fell to their second defeat of the Easter weekend, Hatem Ben Arfa and Papiss Cissé scoring second half goals for the home team. The defeat initially left Bolton in sixteenth place but results later in the week returned them to the relegation zone. Due to the club's home game with Tottenham Hotspur being postponed as the London side were involved in an FA Cup Semi-Final, Bolton's next game was almost a fortnight later, at home to Swansea City. The away side opened the scoring early on through Scott Sinclair but Chris Eagles equalised within eight minutes. The subsequent draw saw Bolton fall back to nineteenth place. However, three days later they moved back up a place thanks to a win at Aston Villa, the game that had been postponed the previous month. The home side opened the scoring midway through the second half through Stephen Warnock but Bolton quickly replied, scoring twice in the space of just over a minute, first with a Martin Petrov penalty, after Mark Davies had been fouled in the area, and then a David N'Gog goal. This result left Bolton one point from safety with a game in hand. The following Saturday they travelled to Sunderland and took the lead through a Kevin Davies volley. However, Nicklas Bendtner equalised before half time and James McClean scored from a free kick ten minutes into the second half to give Sunderland the advantage. However, a second Kevin Davies goal secured Bolton a point which left Bolton inside the relegation zone on goal difference only.
Bolton began may with a home fixture against
The final game of the season saw Bolton travel to Stoke City, while their relegation rivals Queens Park Rangers were at title chasing Manchester City. Former Bolton striker Jonathan Walters scored a controversial early goal when he appeared to bundle goalkeeper Ádám Bogdán into the net when he had hold of the ball, but by the end of the half the away side were ahead through Mark Davies and Kevin Davies. However, Walters scored a second from the penalty spot after Bogdán had fouled Peter Crouch and, although Queens Park Rangers had lost, the point earned at the end of the game was not enough and consigned Bolton to relegation, ending their 11-year run in the Premier League.
