Redknapp: Bolton made good signings
"Bolton picked up a great result against Reading. They look strong and have made some good signings. They looked in desperate trouble but Gary Megson's lifted them out of that.
"They sold Nicolas Anelka and anyone would miss him because he's a fantastic player but they've been picking up points without him."
