Neil Lennon watched Bolton beat MK Dons yesterday and hailed the display as the complete performance.
Against a background of other Championship clubs looking to pick up players on cut price deals Bolton have racked up back to back wins for the first time this season.
The win leaves Lennon’s side five points away from the safety of fourth bottom place and more importantly gives any potential purchaser the chance of a club with a fighting chance of surviving in the division.
Over 5,000 fans have joined the Bolton Supporters Trust with the team on the park putting a smile on the face of their manager.
“For me it was our best matchday of the season,” Lennon said. “It was a complete performance, and we got a performance in both halves of football.
“It was exactly what we wanted to see from the team. The players responded absolutely brilliantly and we can have nothing but praise for them today.
“MK Dons may not be one of the more superior teams in the division, but there was a lot of pressure on us going into the game and I thought we handled that very well.
“When they got a goal back right at the end I was thinking, ‘don’t do this to me’. It would have been a travesty had we dropped points today with the way we played.”
Lennon added: “I’ve never stopped believing we can get out of this position. We have a free week ahead now and it gives us plenty of time to get our heads down and focus on what should be a cracking cup tie against Leeds.”
