Wanderers are determined to break their Reebok duck tonight.

The race is on to 'christen' the magnificent £35 million showpiece stadium after two scoreless draws.

Stalemates against Everton and Manchester United have frustrated the Bolton attack. Now John McGinlay believes it's time to cash in.

"It isn't a problem yet but we need to score soon so that it doesn't become one," said the club captain who hopes to partner Nathan Blake in attack against a Spurs side which has gone three games without a goal.

"We don't want to let it get to us."

McGinlay reckons the major psychological hurdle was cleared on Saturday when Wanderers prevented their derby rivals claiming the distinction of scoring the first goal at the new ground.

Now he says the pressure is off: "Nobody wanted a United player to score the first goal but it probably won't bother people as much if a Spurs player gets it...provided we win the game."
