Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle says it's time for his players to stand up and be men.

The Trotters lost again on the weekend against Swansea City.

"'I know we have good players," he said. "We have about five missing which doesn't help, but the bottom line is the players we have fit and available are good enough to win games.

"Whether one or two are fragile with their confidence because of the run we have been on, they know the way through is to stand up and be counted, show your strength as a man. We will look pick the best possible characters and the ones who have the belief in their ability even at this difficult time."
