Bolton players full of admiration for Coyle

After producing a 5-1 win over Newcastle United on the weekend, Bolton players have spoke highly of manager Owen Coyle and his ability to get the best out of his squad.

Coyle left Burnley to take over from Gary Megson last season and since day one, things have looked positive, but nowhere near as good as right now which sees the Trotters sitting nicely in fifth position with 22 points from 14 matches.

Defender Gretar Steinsson and skipper Kevin Davies were both full of praise for Coyle who has worked wonders at Reebok Stadium since last January.

"It's totally different from the first years when I was here, being in a team that actually believe they can get points against the strong sides instead of just hoping for a draw," Steinsson said.

Davies added: "The confidence is high and I think the belief is starting to creep in among the players. The manager is doing a fantastic job keeping everybody happy."
