Gretar Steinsson was delighted with his performance for Bolton Wanderers in their 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.

Owen Coyle's arrival in January sparked a renaissance of sorts, and now the former AZ Alkmaar man is hoping to make up for lost time.

"This might be close to my best game for Bolton," he told the Bolton News. "I felt like last season I finished on a high but this season has basically been disappointing right from pre-season to December.

"I have been struggling with injury as well, so this season has been a big frustration in so many ways.

"I'm just glad that I am being told by the manager to play, go out there and enjoy it. The knee has been better in the last couple of weeks, and it just shows what can happen when you can go out and play without pain.

"I'm just glad that I am getting more up to the standards I am used to because this season has been a major disappointment. It has been tough, having been knocked down so hard at the beginning. But I have got my head right and done my best to get right.

"I'm just glad that I am playing, and hope I can build on that in the next game against Birmingham, then for the start of next season."
