Bolton boss Coyle says Norwich rival Lambert his own man

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has no doubts Norwich City counterpart Paul Lambert has been influenced by Martin O'Neill.

Comparisons have been drawn between Lambert's style and that of his former Celtic boss, Martin O'Neill, and the similarities have not escaped the Bolton boss.

"He worked under Martin O'Neill at Celtic so he's taken bits and pieces from managers he's worked under," said Coyle.

"But he is very much his own man and that's a mark of his intelligence. Sometimes you can become a clone of someone you've worked under.

"But you can't be like that. You have got to be your own man. He has built a very good team as manager."
