Shola Ameobi grabbed a debut goal for Bolton as Neil Lennon’s side drew 1-1 at home to Leeds United.
After three back-to-back defeats the pressure is building on the Bolton boss with Guy Luzon of Charlton the latest Championship manager to be sacked.
Lennon has been anxious to add some firepower to his side and got an instant return from the former Newcastle striker.
“I thought we were unfortunate today,” the former Celtic boss said. “We aren’t playing like a side at the bottom of the league right now. For me, the game was there for us to win, so it is a little frustrating.
“Shola Ameobi scores with a great finish to put us a goal up. He did really well when he came on. It was unfortunate that Gary Madine had to go off with a bit of concussion.
“People raised their eyebrows when we brought Shola in, but he’s shown today that’ll he make us better. That was his first game for a long time and I thought he contributed a lot.
“We can have no complaints about the red card. It was a penalty and an individual error from Prince, who was playing really well up until then. We just have to concentrate a little bit more and cut the individual errors out.
“That’s the way our luck has been going for us recently. I thought after the red card we did well and held out comfortably with ten men.
“The fans continue to be tremendous. There wasn’t one negative voice today and we’re really appreciative of that given our league position.
“All in all, it’s a point in our favour and we move on. We know we have to start winning games and turning draws into wins.”
Next Saturday Bolton have a Lancashire derby away to Preston.
