Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has demanded that his side start to improve their away record after watching them secure a rare three-point haul on their travels by beating West Ham United 3-1 at Upton Park on Sunday.
The Trotters only won two away games last term as they avoided relegation by one point and Megson is now hoping to build on the triumph against the Hammers.
He said: "We wanted to make ourselves solid, and knew West Ham would have a lot of possession - but most of that was going square or backwards.
"This football club has not won away games on a consistent basis. That is something like only our fifth win in the last 22 months.
"If you are doing that, it is going to cause you massive problems because then you have to be successful at home.
"We just managed to stay up last year, yet our home record was only six points different from when we had qualified for Europe.
"Our away record has been shocking and it is something we need to improve on."
