Well last week’s trip to Manchester United was yet another disappointment after two cracking results against Arsenal and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what it is, whether it’s a mental problem or not, but we just don’t seem to be able to get good results at places like that.<\/p>\n
We have a decent enough team, we’ve been in great form, but whatever it is, it just isn’t enough.<\/p>\n
Today though Bolton Wanderers come to the Lane. Last season we beat them 2-0 at home with Roman Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent scoring. If you remember they had Gavin McCann sent off.<\/p>\n
Usually they’re a tough side to play against, but as we showed earlier this season in the FA Cup, we can beat them at home, with or without the help of a few own goals.<\/p>\n
Bolton beat Stoke City away 2-1 a few weeks back and only lost by a goal at Chelsea recently, so looks like we might have to be patient to get on the score sheet.<\/p>\n
They are safe from relegation, so only pride to play for, whereas we’re still in fourth position and have lots to play for.<\/p>\n
I really hope we get a win today, we certainly need it, and with Jermain Defoe playing his 400th career game today, let’s hope he can top it off with a few goals and a win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
