Bolton boss Megson challenges Robinson to win place

Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has challenged summer signing Paul Robinson to fight for his place.

The Wanderers boss has confirmed that the former West Brom defender will come in for the suspended Jlloyd Samuel against Aston Villa on Saturday.

"He has been frustrated because he has come in and wants to play first team football," the manager told the Bolton News. "No-one can expect to play. If they play well, and the team is doing well with them in it, then they can expect to be in for the next one.

"Just because they come in from another club, they can't just expect to go straight into the team and stay there. Jlloyd has done particularly well and has played the best stuff since I have been here. But now he is suspended, Paul will get that opportunity. They are all treated exactly the same."
