"All the games are as important as each other so the Bolton game does not take on an added significance but we want to win it for our confidence and to start a long successful run," Distin told the official club site.
"There is a gap now between the top three teams and those chasing them and we know we could be, and possibly should be in an even better position than we are. The top teams never have a dip where they don’t win for several games."
A decent home record is the first step to a sustained spell at the top and with two draws and one defeat in our four league games, that is yet to come. But Distin thinks the City fans have a role to play in helping the Blues to settle in and start winning games.
"It was really hard in the beginning to feel like the new stadium was home. It is a fantastic place with magnificent facilities and a marvellous pitch but it has been a bit like moving house in that you had got to know and love the old place even though you might have outgrown it."
"Maine Road, because of the way it had been built and had bits added on, had a special atmosphere all of its own. I am sure we are all still settling in to our new home and the fans can help us do that more quickly by recreating the kind of noise and atmosphere that they produced at Maine Road."
"We are still getting to know this one and I am sure the supporters feel the same way but hopefully they will be in full voice tomorrow for what will be a passionate contest."
