Megson talks up Trotters
Gary Megson believes Bolton deserve praise for the brand of football they are now playing. [LNB] Even though his side had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Tottenham at the Reebok Stadium, Megson was thrilled with some of the football on display. [LNB] "There is a perception of this club of what people expect," said the Bolton boss. "The reality of what is going on, you have seen it."[LNB] He added: "There was some really good stuff. We don't just hoof it. Our average height is smaller than Tottenham's. We are trying to win games playing decent football.[LNB] "The way we went about our work from minute one to 94 should have won us the game. I am really pleased with the performance but we had enough chances to have sealed a victory." [LNB] Bolton made the breakthrough after two minutes through Ricardo Gardner only for Niko Kranjcar to equalise before half-time. [LNB] Kevin Davies restored the home side's lead but Vedran Corluka secured a point for Tottenham, [LNB] Megson took issue with referee Mike Jones over his treatment of Davies, and said: "I told him at half-time, 'I don't want Kevin Davies looking after but he doesn't need persecuting as he is a big strong lad. He plays with his heart on his sleeve and he competes.'[LNB] "The referee said, 'I have only given two fouls against him. Have you seen his record?'[LNB] "It is not a referee's job to be looking at someone's record. They must look at the game going on and judge how they see fit."
