Shittu with early yellow, Davies with a goal on 7 minutes. Andy O'Brien on the bench. Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Shittu, Samuel, Taylor, Muamba, McCann, Gardner, Elmander, Kevin Davies. Subs: Al Habsi, Hunt, Smolarek, Puygrenier, Cohen, Basham, Andrew O'Brien. Middlesbrough: Jones, Hoyte, Wheater, Huth, Pogatetz, Downing, O'Neil, Sanli, Bates, Aliadiere, Alves.

An excellent win. Boro struggle so much when they come to Bolton, we beat them 4-1 in the first live game I ever saw back in '93. Hopefully this will end all talk of relegation
