Captain Kevin Nolan has admitted Bolton Wanderers are beginning to become concerned by their disappointing start to the season.

The Trotters lost 2-0 at Manchester United at the weekend to remain 17th in the Premier League table.

Gary Megson's side have won just one of their opening six league games - on the first day of the season - and Nolan is at a loss to put his finger on why their season has started in such rocky fashion.

"We're getting concerned now because we're playing well but not winning games. That can't be right," he told the Bolton News.

"We've got to sit down and decide winning games is more important than playing well. But I think if we play like that over the next few weeks, we'll pick up a lot of points.

"It is no use getting down-hearted about what has happened over the last few weeks, we have played the best two sides in the country. We should have more points but we can't grumble.

"We are six games in now and, after a tough game at West Ham (on Saturday), we have got a couple of home games coming up.

"It's important we start picking up points as quickly as possible because we don't want to be in the relegation scrap at the end of the season."
