The Canaries' 2-1 win over Bolton was the club's first away from home in the top flight since victory at Crystal Palace in 1994 - not that the history-making aspect bothered Lambert. Lambert said: "I just got told about it (the record) the other night. I don't really bother about things like that because I wasn't here. "I've never had a problem with confidence. They seem to bounce back whether they draw or get beaten, and that is testament to the way they played today." Lambert made six changes to the side beaten by a single goal at home to West Brom last weekend and insisted his decision to make such wholesale changes had been vindicated. He added: "Sometimes you have to make these decisions. I explained them to the lads and they know exactly why I've done it. They have been brilliant about it." Lambert admitted his side had to hang on through some nervous moments after Martin Petrov reduced the deficit for the home side with his 64th-minute penalty. Lambert said: "I thought we were really comfortable up to the penalty, then Bolton threw everything at us. That put us on the back foot for five or 10 minutes but we fought through." Bolton boss Owen Coyle described Ivan Klasnic's sending-off in first-half injury-time as "an act of folly" and admitted it hindered his side's attempts to make a comeback. Klasnic was issued a straight red card for an apparent head-butt on Marc Tierney, and Coyle said: "If you lean your head into somebody the rule is it's an act of aggression." Petrov's penalty gave his side hope and only a superb last-ditch save from John Ruddy to thwart lively substitute David Ngog denied Bolton a point. But Coyle said: "To concede the two goals from set-plays certainly wasn't good enough. We're all designated markers and we haven't done well enough in that department. "My concern is when we concede soft goals like we did today. It's not as if someone has beaten two or three players and hit it into the top corner - this was self-inflicted. "Even at 2-0 we can still find a way back into the game and then comes Ivan's sending-off. There's no doubt it's a disappointing game and we have to do far better from start to finish." The half-time introduction of Ngog breathed life into Bolton's comeback bid and Coyle said he would take some solace out of their fightback. "They battled away in the second half and tried to get us back in the game," added Coyle. "It was a mountain to climb but the lads stuck at it valiantly and the boy produced a wonder save late on."
