Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle remains calm in the wake of a dismal run of results.

After an encouraging 4-0 hammering of QPR on the opening day of the season, Bolton have lost five consecutive league games, leaving them bottom of the table.

They have had a tough opening few games, but that will not ease with next week's visit of high-flying Chelsea.

Coyle, who cut an upbeat figure despite his team's heavy defeat, is refusing to panic, however.

He said: "I want to win as much as the next man. Just because I'm chirpy doesn't mean I'm disappointed by the result. I don't want to feel sorry for myself, I want to get back on the training ground and rectify it.

"You have to give some balance to it, though. It's football pressure, it's not pressure of a dad with five kids who has to work to feed his family."
