Agree. He came to boost his reputation in the English game, not bury it.

The body language and tone of voice aren't great, are they?

Not trying to be smug now, but I've been saying for months that I'll be amazed if he's still here at Christmas.

Scott is bang on, we have deserved to win both games so far, we are playing well we just need composure up top as lennon has already stated.

I don't think we will win as comfortably as scott suggests but I do think we'll scrape a 2-1 win

Different approach for Middlesbrough game - Neil Lennon


Neil Lennon says his Bolton Wanderers side must adopt a different mindset when they take to the field against Middlesbrough at this Riverside Stadium this weekend.

Despite exiting the Capital One Cup against Burton in midweek, the manager has been encouraged by two positive performances at Macron Stadium so far.

But with the first away game of the campaign and a trip to early promotion favourites Middlesbrough now on the horizon, Lennon says his side will approach the game in a different manner.

“Middlesbrough will be a completely different animal following on from Tuesday’s game,” the manager said in his pre-match press conference.

“They are one of the favourites for the Championship title and it’s their first home game of the season. It’s a difficult game for us, one in which we won’t be expected to win.

“We’re coming into the game off the back of two positive performances, but we’ll have to change our mindset a little bit given that we are away from home.

“The phycology of the game will be different. We’re going to have to be quite resolute and disciplined at times. Yes, Middlesbrough have spent a bit of money, but we’re looking forward to the game.

“There’s no doubting that Middlesbrough have class in their team, but like everyone else in this league they have to earn the right play.

“Yes, they’re expected to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season, but we don’t feel that there is much between the teams at this level.”

This is going to be grim.

I'm sat watching a game of Premier League football, in its entirety, for the first time in what must be a year. I thought I would be able to enjoy the Premier League more when we dropped out of it but I realize that I don't really have much interest in it any more. Without Bolton I'm just not bothered.

No new players yet unfortunately Biggie.

Cheers KP

Amazed he hasn't kept the same back four that kept Derby out.

Tinkerman is alive and well.

Rough game for holding to be starting. Heskey up front? Not sure about this.

I did tell you.
