Everton boss Dave Moyes is delighted for Gary Megson over the way he has turned things around at Bolton Wanderers.

"I remember when I got my first job at Preston, people all thought they'd get a big-name manager or an ex-player or someone else who excites people," he recalled.

"I don't think they were excited by me getting the job but hopefully now they consider that I did a decent job. Bolton picked the man they thought was right for their football club and at this moment in time it's working."

Moyes knows full well his own players will have to be on top of their game if they are to begin to construct another unbeaten run.

"Bolton are a side that have got good players in their team," he said.

"I think it's probably a big shock to themselves that they are in the position that they are but Gary Megson has come in and got results and got them playing again. It's vital that you get results by hook or by crook to get yourselves away from trouble and Gary and Bolton have started to do that."
