Aston Villa manager Martin O`Neill revealed his pre-match concern over his side`s "energy levels" after they had cruised to a 5-1 victory against Bolton.[LNB]O'Neill`s men had endured a heavy schedule going into the game, and had lost in the dying seconds to West Ham in midweek.[LNB]But Villa never looked back once Ashley Young had given them an early lead and Gabriel Agbonlahor, James Milner and Carlos Cuellar were also on target in addition to man-of-the-match John Carew.[LNB]O'Neill said: "I was concerned beforehand because we were really down after the West Ham match on Wednesday.[LNB]"We had played four away games in quick succession and I was worried about the energy levels, particularly for the second half.[LNB]"But the players started brightly, maintained that, the crowd were enthused by the performance and stayed with us throughout. To be fair we have been threatening a goal performance like that for some time."
