Coyle laments play-off woe

Burnley manager Owen Coyle has conceded his side's play-off hopes are now virtually over after three defeats in their last four games.
The Clarets lost 2-0 at Norwich City on Saturday to leave them four points and four places out of the play-off places.
"It's mathematical and we're still in there with a chance, but realistically we need to win all four games to be close to it," he admitted.
"There's no getting away from the fact we're conceding sloppy goals.
"There are two ways of rectifying that. One is personnel, or it's down to those who are with us improving.
"If you see they're not improving then I think you look at the other option available."
