Bolton skipper Davies moves to head-off Man Utd physical claims

Bolton Wanderers captain Kevin Davies insists they're not as physical as the last time they hosted Manchester United at the Reebok.

The Whites skipper - so often targeted by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson for his physical style down the years - has launched a pre-emptive strike ahead of Saturday's clash at the Reebok.

"We have had the red cards but we've got an honest bunch of lads and no one would go out to hurt someone intentionally," Davies told the Bolton News. "They have been soft sendings-off and I think our disciplinary record has been pretty good this season.

"We will look to give it a good go against United but we are not an over-physical side any more."
