GARY Megson claims people are now waking up to the fact Wanderers are not just a route one side.

Having been labelled with the long ball tag for longer than most fans care to remember – the Whites boss hopes onlookers are finally coming round to the fact that his team can play with the best of them.

Ten goals in their five games in November have certainly helped to change opinion – not least in Saturday’s 4-1 demolition of lowly Sunderland.
