So began a run of five wins and two draws from seven games which have taken Bolton up 11 places to ninth.
Ngog is expected to start up front in a 4-4-2 formation today, possibly alongside Marvin Sordell.

He has helped shore up defence alongside Zat Knight and has also scored four goals in seven outings.
