SAM Allardyce says he can ask no more of his high-flying Wanderers.

The Bolton boss, who has seen his teams repeatedly exceed even his expectations over the last six years, is singing the praises of his current crop louder than ever after another happy day at The Valley.

It was not the most impressive of 1-0 victories and Wanderers were fortunate to come up against a Charlton side without their prolific top scorer, Darren Bent, and possibly suffering the after-effects of their Carling Cup triumph over Chelsea three nights earlier.

They also needed two stunning saves from Jussi Jaaskelainen - one either side of Kevin Nolan's 72nd minute winner - to secure their sixth win in 11 Premiership games and their fourth in five visits to the ground.

But their efforts at the end of a 10 day period, which started with an impressive 1-1 draw at Besiktas in the UEFA Cup and went on to earn victories over West Brom in the Premiership and West Ham in the Carling Cup, brought a ringing endorsement from their immensely satisfied manager.

"Three wins and three clean sheets in a week and four games in 10 days with only one goal conceded," he said, almost chanting the statistics. "That's a major achievement for a club like ours, playing in Europe for the first time and still in the Carling Cup and right up there with the big boys in the Premiership.

"I've got nothing but praise for the whole of my squad the backroom staff as well as the playing staff.

"Every single player has been used on a regular basis and every single player has come in and done a fantastic job. I can't ask for any more than what I'm getting."

Allardyce again delivered a masterstroke with his squad rotation, making six changes to the side that beat West Ham. Most, including the return of Jussi Jaaskelainen, Bruno N'Gotty, Kevin Davies, Hidetoshi Nakata and El-Hadji Diouf were expected, and Gary Speed was always likely to return after recovering from a back injury.

But his decision to prefer Radhi Jaidi to Tal Ben Haim at centre-back and to give teenager Joey O'Brien a fourth game in 10 days, were bold moves that paid off handsomely.

"It was a big decision for us to leave Tal out and rest him," Allardyce said. "We had important choices to make whether to continue with Joey at right back, because it looked like he could get a bit tired, but if we picked Tal it would also have been his fourth game and what we didn't want to do was pick them both.

"So we gave Tal the rest and put Radhi in there, brought Bruno back in and left Joey at right back, where he's done exceptionally and is growing in the position.

"Radhi was a dominant force. He headed out numerous deep, long balls and crosses into the box, which was crucial for us."

"The squad has galvanised and all the players are working very well. But it's so early yet. The brick wall might be round the corner. We hope it's not for a long time, but it may come in December or into early January. So we have to be wary of that.

"But, for now, long may it continue."
