Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has dismissed Sir Alex Ferguson writing them off for tomorrow's trip to Chelsea.

Manchester United dropped points in the Barclays Premier League title race after a goalless draw at Blackburn on Sunday.

In his post-match comments Ferguson accepted it would be difficult for his side to catch Chelsea, who are now a point ahead with a match in hand.

"We have a lifeline if Chelsea blow it. But in my eyes they have an easy game against Bolton on Tuesday," said the United boss.

Coyle has more important issues of his own with Bolton five points above the relegation zone having lost their last three matches.

So he was not concerned by Ferguson's attempt at playing psychological games with his players.

"That's up to him. That's his opinion, he has it and he's given it - all very well," said Coyle.

"I'll concentrate on what we can do and not what anyone else says."
