Bolton Wanderers midfielder Matt Taylor still expects the club to be involved in a relegation scrap this season despite their recent fine run.

Gary Megson's side are ninth in the Premier League table after winning four of their last five matches, but Taylor is aware that they are still only five points clear of the bottom three.

He said: "We've put a decent run together and we've got quite a few points now.

"But it's important that we keep doing the same things we've been doing because it's going to be very tight this year.

"There isn't going to be anyone cast aside this year and I'd be very surprised if the 38 points we accumulated last season will be enough to keep us up this time.

"First and foremost we must get to that magic and elusive 40-point mark, and then move on from there but, if we carry on going as we have been of late, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"We've played most teams in this league now and I haven't seen too much to scare us bar the usual big guns. It's going to be a difficult year, but we know everyone who plays us is going to be in for a tough game.

"We've done well away from home and, if we can put a few wins together at home, then we can silence a few people."
