Bolton put Taylor job under pressure

Leicester's Frank Sinclair could not be accused of embellishment when he described Bolton?s humiliation of his team as a ?freak show?.

Neither Leicester manager Peter Taylor nor Bolton bosss Sam Allardyce could have been more shocked by this 5-0 result had they seen a two-headed dog or a pig-swallowing python at a fairground.

The only people not amazed by proceedings were the Leicester fans at Filbert Street. The boos started before 40 minutes of the new season had elapsed, rising to a concerted call for Taylor?s departure following Bolton?s fifth goal.

And hard-working Sinclair found the crowd?s reaction as unacceptable as the display that prompted it.

?I was disappointed with the fans. If you go 2-0 down, after the spirit we showed last season, you don? t expect them to be booing.

?It?s not the end of the world. We are only three points from the top!? he said.

The problem facing Taylor is that the disgruntled feeling was based more on the final 10 games of last season ? which produced just one win ? than the start of the new campaign. Taylor?s transfer activity has also provided little hope of a new dawn and his players are pleading for patience.

? We are 100 per cent behind him,? added Sinclair. ?People were talking about Peter Taylor for England last year and he hasn?t changed as a manager. There were a few home truths in the dressing room and that had to be done.
