“Special” talent Zach Clough has been backed to become a star attraction at Wanderers in his current run of form.
With six goals in the bag by the last week of November 21-year-old is just one strike away from matching his haul for last season.
Clough had initially struggled for full fitness in League One but is now a pleasure to watch, says his manager Phil Parkinson.
“Some of the stuff Zach did against Coventry was quality,” he told The Bolton News. “He produced a lovely bit of technique for the free-kick and will be disappointed it didn’t sneak in. His finish for the goal was fantastic, though, and he might have had a second.
“His movement and his intelligence in that first 45 minutes caught Coventry off-guard. He is a special talent and some of the turns he did coming in off the line are great for our supporters to watch.
“We’re really pleased with him and hopefully there are many more good Zach Clough performances for them to see.”
While Clough now has 14 goals in his 32 appearances at the Macron Stadium, Tuesday night saw the continuation of a hellish spell for target man Gary Madine.
Denied by a wonder save from visiting keeper Lee Burge in the first half, the big striker has now not scored in his last 12 outings despite getting rave reviews for other areas of his game.
“Gary was a real handful and he is getting frustrated that he isn’t scoring goals at the moment,” Parkinson added. “However, we’re winning games of football and that’s the most important thing.
“Should we be scoring more goals? Maybe. Midweek was like the Grimsby game in the cup in that we dominated and had chances. At 1-0, it’s game on.”
