Bolton Manager Lennon: pitch 'like a ploughed field'

Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon was unhappy with the playing conditions in his side's 1-1 FA Cup draw with non-league Eastleigh.

The match was in doubt until an hour and a half before kick-off because of torrential rain.

The Northern Irishman's side rescued a draw with an 87th minute equaliser from Darren Pratley.

Speaking to Mark Chapman, he said: "I'm pleased that we're still in the tie. This is a game we could have lost - we put out a strong team, and we had to. Looking at the pitch now, it's like a ploughed field".
