Coyle can cope with Burnley return
Bolton boss Owen Coyle is unsure about how he will feel on his first return to Turf Moor - but is confident he will be able to handle any abuse directed towards him by Burnley supporters.
Coyle, who got the Clarets promoted to the Barclays Premier League in 2009, left the club in January to take over at Wanderers.
Having received a hot reception from the travelling fans when Burnley were beaten at Bolton later that month, the 44-year-old is likely to be in for something similar - if not worse - during their third round Carling Cup tie, but Coyle has vowed to try and keep smiling.
"In the career I've had, I've had many setbacks along the way, so in terms of mental strength, I think I have bounced back a number of times from trials and tribulations" said Coyle, who also guided Burnley to the Carling Cup semi-finals in their promotion season.
"You can't really say what the emotion is going to be until the events transpire.
"But whatever comes with it, I'll do my best to deal with it, and as always, I'll try to do it with a smile on my face."
