Bolton boss Owen Coyle says that his side's relegation battle is "killing" him.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has admitted that his side's relegation battle is "killing" him.

The Trotters are currently bottom of the Premier League table having lost 13 of their 16 league matches this season.

"Inside it is absolutely killing me. I have a positive mindset, but this is a horrible time," he said. "It is because I love this club and care about football. I know what the players and staff here can achieve."

The Scot has also played up Wanderers' match at fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.

"The Blackburn game is our biggest of the season," added Coyle. "If we can get a result it could give us the platform to go on and do something over the next five or six games."

A win at Ewood Park tomorrow would lift Coyle's side off the bottom of the table.
