Speed: over-physical complaints down to our winning run

BOLTON are causing shock waves again because they have gone back to their roots, according to Gary Speed.

The veteran midfielder is also refusing to apologise for their abrasive style ahead of the vital UEFA Cup game against Red Star tonight. Strikers Kevin Davies and El-Hadji Diouf have come in for criticism recently because of their apparently abrasive methods.

Davies had a running battle with Patrice Evra in the splendid home victory against Manchester United. Then Diouf was roundly condemned for a challenge on Arvalo Arbeloa in the 4-0 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday.
