Bolton Wanderers' January transfer signings had an impact in the win over Gillingham and Ian Evatt could have a third promotion in as many years potentially on his hands.
That's the view of former Blackpool, QPR and Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway.
Wanderers returned to winning ways in League One yesterday with a 3-0 victory at Priestfield over Gillingham.

Wanderers took the lead in the first half thanks to a brilliant strike from Aaron Morley for his first goal as a Bolton player.
The Gills went down to 10 men midway through the second half when Daniel Phillips was shown a second yellow card.
And Wanderers capitalised with the extra man with goals from Declan John and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson before full-time in a scoreline where Bolton could have won by a much greater margin.
The win sees them stay 11th in the League One table but narrow the gap to the top six to seven points with 10 games of the campaign still to go.
Speaking as a pundit on the EFL highlights show on Quest, former Tangerines boss Holloway discussed his former central defender Evatt's recent transfer window business at Wanderers.
And he highlighted the duo of Morley and Bodvarsson, two acquisitions made in January, who were both on the scoresheet against the Gills.
Evatt has won promotions in his last two full seasons as a manager, with Barrow out of the National League and then with Wanderers last season out of League Two.
And Holloway raised the question if his former centre half can do it again this season and Bolton and get them out of League One at the first time of asking to make it three in a row for himself.
He said: "What he is a wonderful fella and he's done this in two windows. He's brought Morley in the last window and brought Bodvarsson in the last window and look at them (against Gillingham).
"I wish him all the very best. All he's known so far is two promotions in two years with different clubs, so can he do it again?"
