Humbled: Coyle congratulates Stoke boss Pulis[LNB]Bolton manager Owen Coyle is bracing himself for a horror video after seeing his side's dreams of lifting the FA Cup destroyed in spectacular fashion. [LNB]Two goals from former Wanderers striker Jonathan Walters steered Stoke to a 5-0 victory in the semi-final at Wembley. Matthew Etherington, Robert Huth and Kenwyne Jones were also on target as Tony Pulis' side ran riot.[LNB] Coyle said: 'I will analyse it, as hurtful and horrible as it will be to watch it again. We have to learn from it. [LNB]'Was the stage too much for one or two of them? Football is not just about physical ability. There is a mental strength that goes with it. I loved these occasions as a player. [LNB]'Therewere too many who didn't perform anywhere near to the right standard. We had a number of players who were at the bottom of the ladder. It was never going to be good enough against a very good side. [LNB]'Thebeauty of management is that you have to respond to things like this. You can do one of two things - you can pick yourself up and go again or you can hide. [LNB]'There is no getting away from the fact it was a below-par performance. Bizarrely enough, I thought we started the game reasonably well. But we were the architects of our own downfall.'[LNB] Bolton captain Kevin Davies described their performance as 'a terrible dream'. [LNB]Hesaid: 'It was a horrible experience, the manner of the defeat. The first goal was like something from five-a-side rather than on an occasion like this. [LNB] Don't look now: Coyle had his head in his hands as the goals flooded in against his Bolton side[LNB]'Tosee the goals going in, I don't know what to say. It was just one of those days. We will try to put it right. It is just a terrible dream at the minute. [LNB]'We are all devastated and very emotional. It is very difficult and we feel ashamed and embarrassed. "Wefeel sorry for the supporters as they paid a lot of money to come down.We've had a lot of plaudits this year and we will take the criticism and stand up as men.'[LNB] Davies, also a losing semi-finalist with Chesterfield in 1998, believes his dream of lifting the FA Cup is over. [LNB]Headded: 'It is one of those things. It seems to have got away from me. This was probably my best chance of getting to the final.'[LNB] Double trouble: Stoke's Walters helped himself to two goals against his former employers[LNB] Bolton 0 Stoke City 5: Davies distraught as Pulis beams with prideBolton 0 Stoke City 5: Match zone from Wembley as Potters smash WanderersBolton 0 Stoke City 5: How the players rated in the FA Cup semi-finalAll the latest Stoke news, features and opinion[LNB]  Explore more:People: Matthew Etherington, Robert Huth, Tony Pulis, Kevin Davies, Owen Coyle
