Bolton boss Coyle: No reason for us to relax

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle says there's no reason to relax after consecutive league victories.

Wanderers moved themselves five points clear of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone at the weekend with a 2-1 win at West Ham, their first away victory since September.

Having also beaten Wolves 1-0 at the Reebok Stadium seven days earlier, Bolton's position suddenly looks far healthier as they prepare for Tuesday night's trip to Sunderland.

"It's always nice to win matches, but there is certainly no leaping about," Coyle said.

"We've won two games back-to-back and it's given us six valuable points, but that's all it is.

"We have got so much hard work ahead of us, starting at Sunderland, and we have to be at our best, as we have been in our last couple of games, to go and earn points.

"We are delighted to get those points on the board, but we are certainly not getting carried away."
