Megson's plan to rest his key players against Sporting Lisbon
looked to have backfired given that his side succumbed to
a narrow defeat against a Wigan side reduced to 10 men for
86 minutes, a result that leaves them third from bottom and
2 points adrift of short-term safety.
Bolton have won on just one occasion away from the Reebok
and the ever astute Megson has realised that his charges need
to roll their sleeves up if they are to escape relegation.
Had Bolton still had Anelka at their disposal they may have
stood a chance but the goals are in
short supply and to add insult to injury, Jaaskelainen has
now been ruled out for the remainder of the season. They travel
to Old Trafford to play a United side looking for the win
that will take them 3 points clear at the top of the table.
United found at Pride Park that the bottom sides don't always
roll over and can be certain that Bolton will make life difficult
but Ferguson's men have dropped just 5 points at home and
should be expected to make the position as league leaders
their own despite having relinquished it several times already
this season.
