Wanderers to appeal N'Gotty red-card

Last updated : 11 November 2002 By BoltonMAD
N'Gotty was dismissed for an alleged elbow on Baggies striker Jason Roberts while both players were grounded.

And Now, after studying video's of the incident, Allardyce believes the French defender is innocent.

"We believe the sending off was very harsh indeed," Allardyce said.

Bolton were already a goal down when N'Gotty was sent off but battled back to save a point through Per Frandsen's late equaliser.

Allardyce added: "Life is very difficult for us at the moment but I thought we were magnificent after the sending-off.

"I thought our goal was only a matter of time but with such a small period left I wondered if it was going to come.

"The ball is certainly not going our way at the moment but it was a great effort from our players and a magnificent performance from our substitutes.

"The quality of our football ultimately told and made West Brom crack. I take it as a moral victory."
