Bolton boss Megson plans to ring changes for Blackburn clash

Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson is ready to make big changes to his line-up for today's derby against Blackburn Rovers.

Megson is still reeling from the 5-1 defeat by Aston Villa two weeks ago, which posed searching questions about the quality of his squad.

He said: "The Villa defeat will rankle for a long time. Whatever team it turns out to be on Sunday... if Jussi is not playing, he is the only one who could say it is out of order.

"Everyone else who plays against Blackburn can consider themselves fortunate in my book."

The performance at Villa caught Megson by surprise.

He said: "I had been pleased with the way we performed against Chelsea and Manchester United. I was also delighted with our displays against Everton and Tottenham.

"We are in exactly the same position as we were last season and we went on to finish 13th, without doing well in our last six games. We want to try and improve on that."
