Bolton manager Owen Coyle has admitted that the club’s Premier League future is in their own hands, as the side have a number of home games coming up over the next month.
The Trotters, currently embroiled in a relegation dogfight, have games at the Reebook Stadium against QPR, Blackburn, Fulham and Swansea in quick succession, and the Scottish coach hopes his team can get the points needed to secure their top-flight status.
“I said if we could get to the Manchester City game and remain in touch – which we are – then our destiny will be very much in our own hands,” Coyle told Mirror Football.
“We believe there are points to be had, we must address that now and stay in the Premier League. I’m convinced we’ll do it. We have games we can take points from – QPR, Blackburn and Swansea.
“We’ve seen here against an elite club in Manchester City, a club that’s won every home game here in a year, the belief we have. Of the five clubs down there, others may have a tougher schedule. But we have to capitalise,” he concluded.
