JOHAN Mjallby hopes Wanderers can return to their Macron Stadium dominance tonight and take out Saturday’s frustrations on Charlton Athletic.

The Whites were denied a point against promotion-chasing Norwich when Canaries striker Gary Hooper – a man Mjallby and boss Neil Lennon know all about from their time at Celtic – struck in added time to inflict just a second home league defeat in 15 games since the new management team took the helm.

Another last-gasp defeat deflated the Whites and Mjallby – sitting in for Lennon at yesterday’s pre-match press conference with the manager delayed by car trouble – wants a reaction tonight in front of the home faithful.

Ahead of the penultimate Macron clash of the season, the Swede told The Bolton News: “We want to give something back to the supporters.

“We want to finish the season strongly.

“For the players too, it is a good chance to get some of the anger, disappointment and frustration out of their system after they didn't get a point against Norwich which would have been a good point."

As defensive coach, the nagging tendency to ship late goals in recent weeks has particularly hurt Mjallby.

But he remains happy in the thick of things alongside Lennon on both the training ground and in the dugout.

And he is positive about the future for the Whites.

The 44-year-old said: "I am enjoying the club. It is a good club.

“Sure I have been frustrated the last couple of months after the good start we had.

"There are going to be a few reasons why they haven't kicked on after the good start.

“Injuries took their toll and maybe we haven't been as solid as when we started.

"But I am certainly enjoying job and the challenge.”

Mjallby has certainly had plenty of different players to work with since joining Lennon at Wanderers with a raft of loan signings helping ease the lengthy injury list.

Many have impressed since moving to the Macron and could end up making their moves permanent in the summer.

But there is also the danger that good form for the Whites could benefit another team as Mjallby concedes.

He added: “We needed loan players because of the injuries and they have helped us to win games.

“But at the same time you take the gamble they might do well and if we don't take them, they go to another club. That is part and parcel of it.

"But they come on loan because they don't get enough game time at their parent club.

“It is a good chance for every player to go on loan to show everyone how good they are."
