Pratley: ''11 Cup Finals''

Bolton midfielder Darren Pratley remains optimistic that his side can avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

He said: "We've got 11 cup finals now and we've got to try our best to stay in the league.

"There are five teams playing for two spots now. I think things can change and we can start picking up points.

"The dressing room is strong. The manager has got us focused and he gives us so much belief. Hopefully we can repay him. We've got to win, no matter what now.

"Bolton being in the Premier League is the only thing that matters at the minute."

Still baffled as to why this guy is keeping Muamba out of the team to be honest.

Fabrice and NRC seemed to be forming a solid partnership until OC went to his 4-4-2 against Norwich.

Finally a leader has emerged. Good news.

Darren Pratley following in the footsteps of NRC and Zat Knight in talking a good game then being shit on a Saturday.

At least there's some recognition that every game is a "cup final".

The irony is that I hope Pratley isn't calles upon to participate - unless it's as a sub for Muamba who by that time has put in 70 minutes of outstanding work.
