// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Gary Megson was far from happy after seeing Bolton unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by Chelsea.[LNB] The Trotters were lively at times, but were generous at the back and found themselves two down inside the opening 26 minutes.[LNB]Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda put the Blues in control with second-half efforts from Deco and Didier Drogba completing the scoring.[LNB]Megson was keen for his charges to press and outmuscle their opponents, but felt they did the opposite.[LNB]"That's as bad as a performance as you'll see," Megson told Sky Sports News after the full-time whistle.[LNB]"If you don't compete against Chelsea and some of the other big clubs in this Premier League you're going to have huge problems.[LNB]"I know this was a Carling Cup tie, but we didn't make it a cup tie. We needed to make it about tempo and strength and we made it about passing and technique."[LNB]No positivesMegson was happy with one or two individual display but refused to take any positives from the match following their cup exit.[LNB]"There were one or two that did okay, but nowhere near as well as they can do," he continued.[LNB]"When you're in a cup tie it's purely, simply about getting through to the next round so therefore you can't really say there were positives."[LNB]Megson did reserve praise for Bolton's vocal travelling support and hopes the fans are again behind the team for the visit of Chelsea this weekend.[LNB]"Our support was fantastic. 2,000 people have come down on a Wednesday night and they've out-sang the home crowd.[LNB]"We need that at our place, but we also need to put on a performance that gives us an opportunity to win."[LNB]
