Bolton will come good - Coyle

Bolton have lost seven of their last nine games in all competitions after going down 2-1 away to Arsenal in the Carling Cup on Tuesday. They are also currently struggling to find their way out of the relegation zone with a worrying six points from nine games. The Whites have lost all five of their league games at home, scoring only four goals and conceding a whopping 17 goals at the Reebok Stadium - but the Bolton boss is not overly concerned. "We have good players, we have a good team. We have accepted that we are disappointed about losing at home last weekend against Sunderland," Coyle told Sky Sports News. "I felt in the second half, we didn't do as well as we could have. But prior to that, in the first half, we did well, and in the game before at Wigan we were terrific. That's where we need to get to again. We need to show that level of consistency. "We do know as well that it was always going to be a season of transition with the younger players we have brought to the football club and some of the terrific players that left us or who are injured. It's just the nature of this league. "If we had done our job as we should have done last week, we would have been up to 12th in the league after the game, so that's the margins. "But where we are, we are certainly not enjoying being 18th in the table but what we need to do is start picking up the points and moving up the league and we are more than capable of doing that. "Regardless of who we played, we were expecting to get more points - there is no doubt about that. I think if we go and analyse it, we certainly know that we can be doing better than what we are. "This is not a team that's playing at their maximum and losing games. This is a team that there is so much more to come from. "The important thing is we had an unbelievable home record last season and we've not managed to replicate that yet but we will. We will get back to that."
