Bolton boss reflects on Sunderland defeat
Bolton manager Owen Coyle was left to reflect on a series of key decisions he felt went against his side, but admitted Sunderland's blistering start had proved decisive.
He said: "We came in good form and looking to win a game, and when you concede a goal within 44 seconds, then it gives you a bit to do to get back into the game.
"Having said that, I thought the first half was even - Sunderland were dangerous on the counter-attack if we gave away cheap possession, but at the start of the second half, we were the team in the ascendancy.
"We maybe could have worked Craig Gordon a little bit harder given the possession in the dangerous areas we were in, and ultimately, we paid a heavy price."
