// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Gary Megson defended his players following Bolton's 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League. The Trotters had lost by the same scoreline in the Carling Cup in midweek, a game that was played at Stamford Bridge with both sides fielding very different starting XIs.And Megson insists Bolton produced an improved performance and were unlucky to go down by such a margin.There had been nothing to separate the teams until Jlloyd Samuel was sent off on the stroke of half-time for a foul on Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard tucked away the penalty.Bolton kept battling with 10 men and Megson was proud of the effort of his troops."I think the way we have competed and gone about the game was much better than on Wednesday night," he told Sky Sports."We are bitterly disappointed that we have been beaten and it's ended up 4-0."The manner (of defeat) was the complete opposite."
