NO TIME TO PONDER

Ruud van Nistelroy thinks that it the result against Birmingham shouldn't be dwelt about for too long.

"Wednesday's result was disappointing but there is no time to dwell on it," said Van Nistelrooy.

"Bolton is a massive game for us, so we have to try and forget what happened against Birmingham, come out and show everyone what we are made of.

"It is a time for character and spirit. It wasn't as though we played really badly, just that the result did not go our way."
