Megson salutes crucial win

Gary Megson felt it was a 'defining Saturday' for Bolton following their 4-1 victory over Middlesbrough. Kevin Davies, Gary Cahill, Matthew Taylor and Ricardo Gardner found the target for the Trotters, who moved eight points clear of the relegation zone as a result.Bolton have struggled in the bottom half of the table for much of the season but Megson accepts they should now be safe.The manager will not allow his players to become complacent but he was delighted with the work ethic on display against Boro.He said: "Obviously it is a great result. We have played that game today with the knowledge if we put in a good performance and get a good win this was a really defining Saturday."We are eight points above the relegation zone with probably a better goal difference than most in there so it is going to be difficult (to be caught)."But I don't think we can turn around and say if we finish on 37 points that will be enough."At times today we didn't pass brilliantly or finish brilliantly but right the way through the game we battled and worked our socks off and we got our just rewards."
