Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson was a happy man after seeing his side ease their relegation fears with a 2-0 victory at Reading.
Goals from Kevin Nolan and Heidar Helguson moved the Trotters four points clear of the drop zone, with Megson pleased by the application of his players at the Madejski Stadium.
He said: "I'm certainly delighted with the result, but we can play a lot better than that.
"We scored at the right time for the second. When we were playing 4-5-1 in the first half we were under pressure, but we switched to a 4-4-2 and the game changed.
"We scored and we were quite happy until Reading put us under pressure in the second half and we went back to 4-5-1."
Meanwhile, Megson will have to wait to try and secure a permanent deal to keep Liverpool loan midfielder Danny Guthrie at the club beyond the end of the season.
"We've spoken to Liverpool about signing Danny on a permanent deal and he seems keen," Megson told the Daily Star.
"But Liverpool have said they want to keep things as they are and we'll see at the end of the season. I don't think he wants to go anywhere else."
