It is always a dichotomy when you want your manager sacked but you want your team to win. Listening to the game on Saturday on the official website (that's Wolves' official website, co-commentator, value for money rather than Bolton's dour, rose tinted, by himself commentator) once the second goal had gone in, a wry smile formed on my lips, the thought that we wouldnt't have to put up with this drivel for much longer warming my heart. Then Elmander scored. Bastard! What do I do now? Everytime I heard the mention of Klasnic swivelling my desperation increased, not only when he missed again and we couldn't get a goal, which I wanted, but that he hadn't got a goal and the GSO was closer to being booted down the M61. It's an awful experience and is down to one man. No guesses.
So, to the papers.
Bolton should have buried the game by the time Megson did the bleeding obvious thing and decided to play two up front, bringing on Johan Elmander with 20 minutes to go. Even a blind man could see that Bolton needed to play two up front from the off. Thank you The Currant.
Bolton have now gone six games without a win and if the vitriol from both sets of fans was anything to go by, Megson is under increasing pressure. even if he has become used to it. 'I am not fearful for my job,' he said. The Nazi. I should be if I were you.
I wonder how long Gary Megson's got left at Bolton. Do you want that in hours, minutes or seconds Stan Collymore? The Mirror
Megson insisted he did not fear the result had pushed him closer to the sack, saying: “People talk about pressure, but there are three million people unemployed in this country.” Gary getting his sums wrong again but whatever figure it currently is, it will be plus one soon enough. The Express.
Bolton are compared to Black Adder Goes Forth (but not as funny) The Times
Bolton’s manager, Gary Megson, similarly harbours a desire to scramble through games rather than play decorative football. And fails. The Tory.
Bolton Wanderers' failure to do so (close Mikijas down) on Saturday cost them a goal and ultimately the game and, if their travelling supporters had anything to do with it, it would also cost their manager, Gary Megson, his job. Dear Santa, what I really want for Christmas is..... The Guardian.
Though Gary Megson is close to chairman Phil Gartside, the team's downward spiral must be prompting boardroom concern. I was always under the impression he slept in a box at the end of the bed. The Indy.
The sharpening of knives could be heard in both camps before the game, but at the end they were being pointed squarely at Gary Megson. The Screws.
After this match I feel that Megson is history. Shaun O'Gara in The Observer.
While Megson is convinced he has the players and the know-how to do just that, and reverse his side’s slide down the table, the number of people who agree with him is dwindling with each passing week. Some surprising negativity from The Former B.E.N.
Gary Megson's tenure as Bolton boss hangs by a thread after his team served up another dismal display at fellow strugglers Wolves. The M.E.N.
And the averages
Jussi 6.63
Steinsson 6.38
Cahill 5.92
AOB 5.47
JLS 5.02
LCY 6.20
Ricky 5.78
Badger 5.18
Cohen 5.31
Matty T 5.65
Klasnic 6.06
Elmander 5.68
Meaning the man of the match, for the nth time, is Jussi and the player who should be carrying the manager's suitcases for him is Jlloyd. However, he wasn't bad enough for Robinson to come back.
