UNDER-PRESSURE Gary Megson insists he does not fear losing his job.

Wanderers slumped to their fifth defeat in six games at fellow strugglers Wolverhampton on Saturday.

The result leaves Bolton second bottom and sections of the travelling support at Molineux were once again calling for the manager’s head.

But Megson says he is not worried about his position — and is convinced Wanderers can move up the table and away from danger. “You do become immune to criticism,” he said.

“The results are not coming but we’re not a million miles off from the middle of the table.

“You know it is going to be close throughout the season but we need to get results.

“If the team starts playing for 90 minutes as it did for the last 20 then we’ll get those results.

“People talk about pressure and the problems we’ve got. But we are in a great profession.

“I do not want to play that down but there are three million people unemployed in this country, we are fighting a war in Afghanistan and there are all sorts of things going wrong in the country.

“Life’s not going particularly well but it’s not a case of pressure. You get the phone-ins, you get people writing in, you can hear the crowd singing and moaning but I had that 48 hours before I joined the club.”

Megson’s cause was not helped as he side went down 2-1 at Molineux — and he was furious that Jody Craddock’s third-minute opener was allowed to stand after the defender was clearly offside.

“It was a shocking decision,” he said.

“You will very rarely hear me criticise referees but when you can’t see that is offside then we have got a problem.

“There’s not just the goalscorer offside, there’s somebody else too. It’s not even close.”
