GARY Megson made five changes to the team that secured a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup as Wanderers returned to their Premiership survival battle at Blackburn.
Out went Nicky Hunt, Jlloyd Samuel, Stelios, Gavin McCann and Joey O'Brien, who all made big contributions to the scoreless draw at Atletico Madrid.
In came Gretar Steinsson, Ricardo Gardner, Ivan Campo, Danny Guthrie and El-Hadji Diouf to make up what is generally regarded as Megson's strongest possible first 11.
Young O'Brien was given a place on the subs' bench alongside January signings Tamir Cohen and Grzegorz Rasiak, who were ineligible for the European game, and Abdoulaye Meite, who has been unable to regain his place as a back four regular since returning from African Nations Cup duty.
Blackburn, who were looking for a double after winning 2-1 at the Reebok last month, were without injured defenders Andre Ooijer and Ryan Nelson but David Dunn and Morten Gamst Pedersen were back after serving suspensions.
Rovers: Friedel; Warnock, Samba, Khizanishvili, Emerton; Bentley, Reid, Dunn, Gamst Pedersen; McCarthy, Santa Cruz. Subs: Tugay, Mokoena, Derbyshire, Roberts, Brown.
Wanderers: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Cahill, Andy O'Brien, Gardner; Campo; Diouf, Nolan, Guthrie, Taylor; Davies. Subs: Meite, Joey O'Brien, Cohen, Rasiak, Al-Habsi.
Referee: Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

We play brilliantly against Atletico Madrid - after which we lose 4 - 1 to Blackburn -list of excuses from the management would be most welcome - why did we not play some strikers today - VazTe/Selios/Andrani k - and take the game to Blackburn. Playing defensive football will see us in the Championship.

Agree about Cohen, AD. Rivalling Gerald Cid as worst ever at Reebok. Hard to blame the defence, done well lately. The lack of goals kills us, and lack of creativity from midfield. Surely Captain Marvel is due for a suspension now, but that daft Megson will only put Mccann in.

Two people to blame. 1 ..... The joke of a referee. 2 ...... Mego, who believes we can defend our way to safety in the league and victory in europe. The prem is very different to europe. Faster and less time to think. Vaz Te has the speed to play alongside Davies, but never gets the chance. A solid defence with defensive midfielders in front of them is not enough to win games. Our goal difference could be worth a point, but we are relying on other teams losing. Europe may as well be a million miles away, because Wigan, Fulham and Reading are still trying to attack. If we go down trying to win matches, then so be it. If we go down defending from the first whistle we will deserve it. Come on Megson, it's time to grow some ****.

No thanks mate, Im choosy who I got the match with. Back to the footy. Anyone got any ideas on how we are going to get another probable 13 points to stay up? If the defence starts leaking, I cant see more than 1 win from what's left. Every week, the midfield get overun, create nowt. Guthrie stick out wide where he is ineffective, presumably to keep Nolan happy. Megson back to picking a rubbish bench again. Id sooner see Nicky Hunt there than Meite for one thing. Also, what can Joey O Brien add as sub? No goal threat , thats for sure. That Cohen- tell me he is a wind up? He isnt for real is he? I saw Andranik on for 15 mins as sub against Fulham and in that time showed more goal threat and quality than any of our midfielders. Quality cross for a goal, one attempt blocked. Was it Fulham or someone else- memory failing. Beer time- See ya later lads and lasses.

Agree Fernando. Have just watched Spurs win. They appointed a Manager with proven track record. Megson is scared of his own shadow. Another sign of a poor manager is one who picks his own signings above others. Cohen and Rasiak better than Andranik, Stelios and Vaz Te? A good manager will admit he got it wrong, not keep playing them in the hope that one day they might come good.

Been away for a few days, so had to give up my ticket for today. Firstly, really pleased about UEFA result. Cant wait for the next match as home leg last time was great. I agree with posters who said Megson seemed better suited to UEFA matches where defence often wins. By the way, love the " neggers meggers " whoever said that. It is very worrying that we concede 4 goals, as we are not going to score many. His use and naming of subs again useless. Stelios, Andranik, Vaz te surely are better options. I am struggling to understand a team selection which has a midfielder top scoring with 5, none of the other midfielders or defence ever score. We have always had defenders and midfielders who could score, but they all spend too much time and energy trying to keep clean sheets. Our strikers hardly ever strike but both are good players. I still think we have good players who have been led badly all season. LSL wanted to attack but forgot to defend. Megson prays every night for a clean sheet- he is very limited in his ambitions for the club. Two really bad appointments could cost us dearly.

Look at the stats of shots on goal, greatly improved. Read the papers tomorrow - we will get praised by most intelligent pundits, I am sure of that.
I'm sorry Pedro, it sounds a lot like the City game ( which I did go to ) where we played well, yet conceded 4. Is nobody who didnt go not allowed to comment?

The trouble is you dont always get what you deserve in football matches, its not like rugby where you can just a kick a ball unchallenged over sticks to keep away (what a joke scoreline that was) and like Big Sam's 1-0 away wins last season. I can see beyond the scoreline, I want us to win yes but even more than that I want to look forward to going to our matches. Did you really enjoy watching us play under Big Sam?
Actually Jon, Id quite like to see us get 3 points in the league. Glad youre enjoying our recent run of results so much. Quite sure you will be much happier when we are beating Coventry 3-0 next season. If this is the best entertainment for you at the Reebok for years- just one question. Where have you been??

Pedro, I have a lot of time for your comments. We just seem to have had so many false dawns lately. Was away for Pompey match- all I read after that was " no problem staying up after that " or " bring on the inbreds " We are running out of matches and need a couple of ugly wins.

bwfc 1210, you cant keep repeating the same stuff about where we were. LSL went after about 9 games, there were only about 27 points up for grabs. Quite a few clubs incl Spurs were near us. Megson has had nearly 20 games to get things right, yet we still hover 1 win above bottom 3. Im not sure if we will go down- we might. Even if we just survive, I dont want Megson. He is far too negative, keeps faith with out of form players, puts his own buys on the bench to justify the signings when there are Internationals who get nowhere near the squad. Ramos and Bruce have better records at Wigan and Spurs. Come on, you know deep down he has never been any good and I dont think he ever will be.

Come on, you know deep down he has never been any good and I dont think he ever will be.I know that all the Bolton fans were singing "Ginger Mourinho" today, because I was at the match, and the SUPPORTERS showed their support for the manager, as supporters should. You say that I know deep down he has never been any good and you don't think he ever will be. Firstly, look at his signings. Cahill - Gave away a penalty today but had a decent game. Been brilliant since he's joined. Steinsson - Gave a penalty away but it wasn't a foul, and has looked solid in every performance for us. Taylor - Not had his shooting boots on, but he is getting into some great positions and will be a very good player for us. Cohen - Not looked great in his performances, but hasn't had a proper chance yet. Rasiak - Scored today, wrongly disallowed. Not seen enough of him to comment. If Megson had been manager in the summer, he would have had more time to find players and improve the team, as he has done in January. You mention Ramos and Bruce having better records, if you remember we attempted to get Bruce, but he didn't want to come, and I can't imagine that Ramos would have come. You wanted Sammy Lee out, yet there was nobody realistically who would have came in and done a better job than Megson is doing currently. Megson has turned things around since he came, we are the furthest we've ever been in the UEFA Cup. He has guided us from bottom of the table, to 16th. If we get relegated, fair enough, you might have been right about him, but anyone with any sense will realise there is no chance that we will be relegated. As for the upcoming fixtures: Liverpool (home) - could win Wigan (away) - could/should win Man City (home) - could/should win Arsenal (home) - expected to lose, but generally do well against arsenal. I can't see too many problems for us. I cant imagine what you would be like if you were a Reading fan, they are in trouble, they have lost their last 8 games in a row. We will be safe this season. The team wasnt negative today, we had more chances than Blackburn, don't criticise the tactics if you weren't there.

OK bwfc, just a report I heard said Nolan was " dragged off " to prevent him being sent off. He really does behave like a spoilt child sometimes. How often has he told us he is going to improve his discipline record? As for Cohen, I and many thousands have seen quite enough of him, thank you.

I dont really know why we keep argueing bwfc. You think Megson is doing a good job, I dont. You rate Nolan, I dont You dont rate Guthrie- I do, although much prefer him in centre mid. Lets just leave it at that.

If all you want is passion, no wonder you like Cohen. Runs around like a headless chicken, hurls himself at players without any basic tasckling technique. Plenty of passion- still useless.

Just had a drink with a couple of lads who went today- one of them a Rovers fan !! Both said deffo not a pen and agreed Nolan lucky to stay on. Seems we only started to play when a goal down. Has been a problem most of this season. We dont seem to get a tempo going until chasing something. Portsmouth game excepted where we should have murdered them first half. Not much to be positive about. Might just squeak 4th bottom. Unbelievable decision to let Anelka go without replacement.

jesus thats 6 pens to blackburn against us in 2 seasons!!! i think the team selection and tactics was fairly poor today, we should have had a proper go at them, and the likes of cohen and rasiak are useless. overall a bit unlucky tho, i cant see us getting relegated, theres definitely 3 worse teams than us. our style of football needs to be changed in the summer

Half the posters who come on here claiming to be Bolton fans actually make Zimmy look bright. I bet when most of you are out with your fellow Bolton supporters you are actually quite critical of whats going on. Very often at half time, all you can hear is discontented fans so I am sure I am not alone in the views I hold. Just that Ive got the guts to say something about it. You so called fans are just nerds keep trotting out stats which you think convinces other people that we are actually a good team. This Europe thing is a smokescreen. Megson tried to lose it several times for us, and only a very late Stelios goal against a rubbish Greek team kept us in it. I will be there on Sunday shouting and cheering like I always do, but I'm not stupid enough to blindly support every decision made by the club. We lost again yesterday and are on another bad run. Blaming refs or whoever does not disguise this. We have the players to win matches at the club. Some we never see, others are played out of position. And the inability to select a consistent winning team is why I believe Megson fails as he always has.
