Bolton striker Elmander not panicking over scoring drought

Bolton Wanderers striker Johan Elmander isn't panicking over his scoring drought.

"I feel in good shape. It went well in the last game. You'll never be 100 per cent as a footballer, but it feels good," Elmander told Fotbollskanalen.

"I feel no pressure. I feel no pressure from the club but if you are striker and play in England, then you have to score, that's the way it is.

Asked if he felt under pressure to break his barren run he said: "No, it's something for media to write about.

"I've been there before. Then all of a sudden you are hailed again. I am not the typical striker that scores in every game even though I have reached a higher level and become better at it.

"Now I am playing in a better league, and maybe we are not playing that kind of game that gives me all the chances, so I am working more for the team."
