Owen Coyle: 'We need to push forward'

Owen Coyle says that "extenuating circumstances" have contributed to Bolton's poor Premier League season.

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has urged his side to "come together" in order to pull the club out of the relegation zone.

The Trotters are second from bottom in the Premier League table, with 11 games left to go in the campaign.

"We are not enjoying being in this position," said Coyle. "But we know the extenuating circumstances that have led to it.

"At the start of the season when we were at QPR and then played the top five clubs very quickly afterwards, we were without five players who would normally start in my first XI through horrendous injuries.

"I have not spent £50m and am still waiting for the team to come together. We were second bottom when I came here and I am in profit in terms of transfers. Our younger players have continued to get better and that is how we must push ourselves forward as a football club."

Bolton face Queens Park Rangers tomorrow.
