Criticism motivates Megson

26 August 2009 07:38
Bolton manager Gary Megson is prepared to instil a siege mentality at the club in order to get the best from his players. Tuesday night's 1-0 victory at Tranmere in the second round of the Carling Cup was Wanderers' first win of the season after successive Premier League defeats. Megson has been unpopular with many supporters since taking over in October 2007 and he believes that negativity is spreading further afield. "For some reason Bolton seems to be viewed entirely differently from the 19 other clubs in the Premier League. We need to change that," he said. "I was watching television and we were described as Bolton, who haven't won a game all season - it didn't say the season was nine days old. "It motivates me and it motivates the players but we have to keep everything within the four walls of the dressing room. There is not a great deal of assistance from anywhere else but we get on with it. "Last night the fans were chanting `Megson give us a wave'. I turn around and wave and get booed! To be perfectly honest that's normal."
