Megson: Let's get physical
Bolton manager Gary Megson admits his side need to find the pace and power needed to survive in the Barclays Premier League.
The Trotters picked up their first points of the season by defeating Portsmouth 3-2 at Fratton Park. Gary Cahill's winner after 89 minutes settled the contest, while a Tamir Cohen strike and a Matthew Taylor penalty in the first 45 minutes had set the visitors on their way.
While Megson was pleased with the chances his side crafted, he feels Bolton have plenty of room for improvement. And he believes the likes of Mark Davies and Cohen, who both joined the Trotters during the January transfer window, have work to do to become a success in the Premier League.
He said: "One of the things we've got to get better at is not the fitness, but the physique of the players.
"Mark Davies is as talented a player as you will see on that pitch but he has to improve the physical side of his game. He's not six foot four and that's not his fault. He is a young lad, but in terms of his running power, he has got to get better.
"Tamir has a knack of scoring goals and arriving at the right time, but again he has to get up to the pace of English football so he can stay on all the time."
