Coyle rues missed chances

29 January 2011 20:00
Bolton manager Owen Coyle was left frustrated as his side were held to a goalless draw with Wigan in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Former Middlesbrough defender David Wheater could have secured a victory near the end but scuffed his shot wide of the post. Nevertheless Coyle was pleased with the way Wheater had performed and said: "It was a terrific debut. He looked very accomplished and was very dominant in the air but we all know that." Bolton strikers Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander are going through a barren patch and got some advice from Coyle a former striker himself. He said: "When you're having a spell like this as a striker you have to keep banging on the door and eventually it will fly open. I have no fears that will happen. "Both teams had chances and we had two gilt opportunities but Wigan defended for their lives."
