Bolton improvement down to confidence, insists Coyle

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle says their form this season is all down to confidence.

After thumping Newcastle United, Coyle hailed the efforts of his unfancied side and put most of their dramatic improvement this season down to the confidence he has instilled in their ranks since he replaced Gary Megson last January.

Coyle said: "Coming in in January we were second from bottom and their confidence was fragile. We managed to keep ourselves safe with something to spare and the job in the summer was to build up that confidence and belief.

"Every player has bought into what I am trying to do. You can see that togetherness and work rate and intensity and we have the quality to go with it. When you bring that together you have a chance of getting points."
