Megson hails rampant Trotters

30th November 2008

Bolton boss Gary Megson insisted he had always had confidence in his side moving into the top half of the table following their crushing dvictory at Sunderland.

Goals from Matt Taylor, Gary Cahill and two from Johan Elmander earned the Trotter their third consecutive win to lift Megson`s side up to seventh in the table.

Megson said: "There's no secret and the only thing we're doing differently that we weren't doing beforehand is scoring goals.

"Our performances are not much different except in terms of confidence. When we score goals all the other aspects of our game come to the fore and people start to realise what we've got.

"I thought Johan's best chance was the early one when he beat Craig Gordon and put it over the top and I was delighted by his response because he didn't hide or feel sorry for himself.

"He scored two fantastic goals and had one kicked off the line so I'm really pleased with him. People have focused on the fact that he hasn't scored enough goals but his performances have always been really good."
