Brunt says West Brom must take three points from Bolton

West Bromwich Albion skipper Chris Brunt wants three points from their home clash with Bolton Wanderers.

The Baggies have won just one of their opening five games on home soil, albeit against a team called Wanderers - and Brunt wants more of the same in four days' time.

"Bolton is a big game," said the skipper on WBA's website.

"For all that's been said about the Arsenal game, results against clubs like that aren't going to shape our season.

"We know we need something from the Bolton game if we're to make progress this season.

"They had a great result before the international break but that won't make any difference to our game nor, I would hope, will the Arsenal game on us.

"Both teams will start with a clean slate and it's important we make the most of being at home.

"Both sides will feel they can win the game and we appreciate that there will be added pressure on us because of our last two games and because we're at The Hawthorns."
