WANDERERS winger Liam Feeney believes a consistent run in the team has brought out the best in him.

The 28-year-old is flourishing under Neil Lennon's management and on a run of form that has seen him one of the first names on the team sheet in recent weeks.

Feeney has started 19 consecutive matches for the Whites since being left out of the matchday squads at home to Brentford and away at Norwich in late October.

And he has played every minute of the last 11 in league and cup.

It is a run of games he feels his game has benefitted from.

Feeney told The Bolton News: "I think I am doing all right at the moment.

"The manager seems to be happy with me.

"It helps playing week in, week out and any player will tell you that.

"I have had a long run of games and the manager has shown faith in me.

"Hopefully I am repaying that by doing my job.

"I feel good at the moment; I feel happy."

Only Neil Danns, Dorian Dervite and Tim Ream have made more appearances this season than the former Bournemouth and Millwall wide man.

He has 33 to his name and of the 23 he has figured in under Lennon, he has started 21.

Of those 21 outings, he has completed the full 90-plus minutes on 14 occasions and scored three times.

Despite being signed from the Lions in the summer by Lennon's predecessor Dougie Freedman, it has been under the Northern Irishman that Feeney has shown his best form since his initial four-match loan spell last season.

But he insists there is still room for even more improvement.

He added: "There is still more I can do because I am still learning.

"There’s still more to come from me.

"I feel I’m improving with each game and feel in a good place at the moment."

His upbeat mood has certainly transferred to the pitch with the Whites number seven a man in form.

He was praised by Lennon after he helped Wanderers beat Fulham last week.

And while the result didn't go the team's way against Watford at the weekend when a last-gasp Troy Deeney strike inflicted a first home Championship defeat on Lennon, Feeney was again one of the stars of the show – setting up all three goals on the day for Zach Clough (twice) and new boy Adam Le Fondre.

As pleasing as that was for the southerner, he admits personal accolades count for little when the team ends up losing.

Feeney said: "I am chipping in with some assists and sometimes some goals so that’s a good thing for me personally.

"But results are the most important thing so my own form doesn’t mean a lot to me when we lose the game."
