Neil Lennon: Late defeat against Blackburn Rovers "unacceptable"

Neil Lennon has slammed his Bolton Wanderers players for throwing away more Championship points in the closing stages of a game.

The Trotters were undone by a last-gasp Jordan Rhodes strike at Ewood Park on Wednesday evening as they fell to a 1-0 defeat.

Watford, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Reading have all scored in the final five minutes of games since the end of January, while Liverpool did likewise to progress in a dramatic FA Cup tie.

Lennon admits that something must change, telling The Bolton News: "It's unacceptable - that's five in a month. I set the team up to be hard to beat and resolute but once again it must be a mentality thing; the last kick of the game.

"We would be seven points better off if we had defended right and to tell you the truth, I don't know what to do. We were sound for the most part.

"Ben Amos made a couple of good saves and Jason Steele got man of the match for them so it shows how well we played. But it's not enough. I need more away from home. We're not replicating our home form away from home and it must be a psychological thing."

Bolton remain in 18th place in the league table with 10 games left to play this season.
