Megson unrepentant at approach
BOLTON boss Gary Megson defended his team's approach at Arsenal, claiming they were down to the bare bones.
Wanderers lost to a late Nicklas Bendtner goal after a resolute rearguard action at the Emirates Stadium, and Megson was unrepentant about his side's defensive set-up.
"We played against one of the best teams in the world today, who have quality everywhere, but we wanted to press the ball, keep everything in front of us and not leave space behind and we did okay in the main," said Megson, who lost forward Johan Elmander to injury in the first half.
"We haven't got any other players, but it is not just the number of players you have, it is the quality of the XI you put out and the gamble we took was on bodies.
"In the main we have got away with it, but not today. Eight of the 18 pros we have got were unavailable and we lost two more today.
"We will have to keep them in cotton wool next week because we have not got anyone else and we have know that it will take three or four transfer windows to strengthen because we do not have the finances to do it in one hit."
