West Ham United striker Dean Ashton believes Bolton Wanderers can beat the drop after their victory on Saturday.

The former Crewe striker said: "We don't envy the position Bolton are in.

"No-one thought we could do it last season. But we did, so it's not out of Bolton's reach. They've got the players.

"The club is all set up for the Premier League. The stadium is fantastic and it would be a great shame if they went down. But this league doesn't take any prisoners.

"Bolton are fighting for their lives, but they can still stay up, of course they can."
