Bolton Wanderers 0-0 Blackburn Rovers

Bolton haven't beaten local rivals Blackburn at home since 2000.
It was a game of few chances.
Matt Taylor played well for Bolton. He came closest when hitting the post.
Not the greatest game.

Bolton manager Gary Megson:
"We have to look at it as two points dropped given the opportunities we created.

"Our failings this season are the same as last year. When we are on top we do not seem able to finish teams off.

"We have not got enough people in the team who are scoring goals. A lot of the time we are dependent on the same faces."

Blackburn boss Paul Ince:
"They are very direct and we stood up to that threat and our two central defenders were world class.

"We should have got three points because Jason Roberts had a golden chance and he knows it.

"We did not get drawn into their way of playing and we tried to get the ball down and play.

"People have said every since I came to the club that we do not have character but we have shown in this game and against Everton a never-say-die spirit and have been very resolute."
