Megson: Boo-boys not helping players

Sun, 20 Sep 18:15:30 2009

Bolton manager Gary Megson has told disgruntled supporters their actions are beginning to impact on his players.

A last-minute equaliser against Stoke thanks to Matt Taylor's penalty was greeted with relief around the Reebok Stadium. However, at the final whistle there was a chorus of jeers at the team's overall performance and their inability to record a home victory.

"You cannot block it out. It is there. But it does not get through to me as I've had it two years. It does not help the players one bit. That is the way it is," he said.

"The first half was sterile and really direct. But the second half was much better.

"One group of supporters thought it was okay, another didn't. But that's life and you have to get on with it."

  1. Megson does'nt like the fans booing his players, no­ wonder after that dreadful show against Stoke AT­ HOME.Wonder where we have heard these comments from­ Bolton managers before? John McGovern;Charlie­ Wright;Phil Neal;Colin Todd.We can only stand so much­ MrMegson we pay a lot of money to watch football, not­ the garbage we have to endure at the Reebok.Why did we­ not go after David Nugent,David Healey.Marvin Harewood­ etc? We need strikers not midfielders

  3. @2 eh? Post 1 is fine?

    Anyway, we had this at Villa­ Park at the end of the Wigan game and more than likely­ at the end of that game it was warranted as the­ performance was absolutely dire. O'Neil didn't­ think they should have been booed either. But at the­ end of the day, fans pay not a inconsiderable amount to­ watch their teams and are quite within their rights to­ voice their opinion.
