Some fans are hoping this short loan spell will help Lawrence’s development. Besides the possibility of getting more minutes at FC United, the of pressure in FC United is lower than at Bolton Wanderers. Expectations in the non-league aren’t as high as teams who are competing in the EFL.

Lawrence isn’t the first Bolton Wanderer’s player to be loaned out to FC United. Before the start of the season, FC United made a deal with Wanderers to loan defender Ajay Weston. Just like Lawrence, Weston’s loan spell will end in January.
