‘We’re not a last-placed side’: Lennon says Bolton not far off after Shola strike stops rot
Neil Lennon believes that his Bolton Wanderers side are not far from turning performances into points after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Saturday.
Neil Lennon believes that his Bolton Wanderers side are not far from turning performances into points after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Saturday.
Wanderers are yet to register a single point on their travels, but head to Loftus Road looking to capitalise on what is likely to be a nervy QPR team following their 4-0 derby defeat to Fulham last time out.
Bolton manager Neil Lennon brought Iceland’s record goalscorer back to Bolton almost 15 years after he had left the club for Chelsea, with the 36-year-old signing a six-month deal in December and since notching up six goals in 20 appearances.
Eidur Gudjohnsen’s fourth goal since rejoining Wanderers gave them a second-half lead, but Jamie Mackie netted an injury-time equaliser to cost the home side two points.
After coming on at half-time for his first appearance in English football since May 2012, ex-England international Heskey slid home Eidur Gudjohnsen’s cross to cancel out Josh King’s opener.
The Icelandic record goalscorer, who left the club 14 years ago, had been training with Wanderers following his release by Club Brugge.
