Crainey said: “It’s a one-game season now. That’s how we’re looking at it, it’s all in our own hands.
“ If we go to Bolton and win, we stay in this league regardless of what happens anywhere else.
“We need to focus on what we do and make sure we turn up on the day. It’s going to be a really tough game against Bolton: they’re a good side at home, a big crowd and a good atmosphere.

The Cod Army head coach will be drawing on his own experience and disappointment to try and make sure that his charges avoid a similar feeling.
“I’ve had that feeling on that day and it’s not a nice feeling: I don’t want that feeling ever again in my career,” he said.
“I’ll be reiterating that to the lads. We’ll be going into the game really positively, we want to try and win the game and that’s what we’ll set out to do.
“It’s massive for the football club, for the community and for the fans that turn up in their droves.
“We want to stay in the league, there is no other thought than staying in League One.”
