Bolton boss Megson: Fans now warming to me

Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson believes fans are now accepting his appointment after Saturday's shock win over Manchester United.

Megson, a low-profile replacement for sacked Sammy Lee, said: "My reception was not the best.

"There was nothing I could do about the reaction when I came here but swallow it and work hard.

"I ask the team to be aggressive, yes, but I think we only had one bad tackle.

"We have to compete and I'm not going to criticise them for competing. There would be complaints from me if we didn't."
