Wanderers make the short journey to Merseyside this weekend to face Everton, a team buoyed by Wednesday night's dramatic FA Cup fourth round replay victory over bitter rivals Liverpool.

Gary Megson addressed the media on Thursday morning to offer his thoughts on what will lie in wait at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.

Gary, I suppose you will be glad to focus strictly on action out on the pitch now the transfer window has closed.
I think the chairmen are having a meeting about it this afternoon and I'll be amazed if there are people there who think that it is a good idea. Anybody who I talk to about it, and invariably it is other managers and coaches, all seem to think that it was better before they brought these windows in. From my own personal point of view, the quicker we get back to that then the better.

Now you have had time to reflect on what has happened in January, are you happy with the players you have brought in?
I'm delighted with the players that we have brought in. We did try towards the end to bring two more in, but it didn't happen so we have to go with what we've got.From our point of view there is a cut off, we would have liked certain players but we can't pay ridiculous amounts of money to make it happen and we chose not to do that.

The good news is that there are one or two long-term injured players coming back and now hopefully they will stay fit.

As far as Everton are concerned, they have had a midweek game that went to extra time but they won in dramatic late fashion against their rivals. Is that an advantage or a disadvantage to Bolton?
They will get a huge fillip from the fact that they beat their local rivals in the last minute of extra time. They have obviously played on a Wednesday for two hours in a very intense derby so there is the possibility that they have picked up one or two knocks whilst our players were resting.

We are going to a club that are flying at the minute and have done brilliantly in the last few months and we'll go there with an idea of what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are and we'll try to get a decent result for our club.

Of course, you will go there on the back of a very good performance last weekend and, more importantly, three points against Spurs.
There was a lot of talk after the game about how it went and the fact that we were two goals up and let it slip to 2-2, but in the main I think we just went to sleep for ten minutes.

We lost the momentum with the first goal that we conceded and then there was a little bit of déjà vu from the game before that. When it got to 2-2, you start to worry a bit because they have got that momentum but we were thankful for the quality that we have got from set-pieces and Kevin Davies in the six-yard box.

David Moyes has been the manager of Everton for over seven years, how good of a job would you say he has done at Goodison Park?
He's a good friend of mine and he has done brilliantly. We were talking last week at Old Trafford about respective problems that we both have and how they are similar, but I think that Everton are a pointer for this football club on how we have to do things.

I know David would look at his squad and say that it is too small - he has got quality there but he hasn't got enough players, to a point where he has had a huge problem with his strikers and he has had to go with Cahill and Fellaini up top.

They are doing a manful job and did brilliantly last night, and to be able to beat one of the best teams in Europe with in-effect no centre-forward is a great testament to David.
