Owen Coyle does not want to make excuses for Bolton's relegation last season but remains shocked by everything that happened.

The most distressing episode of the season was the cardiac arrest suffered on the pitch by Fabrice Muamba against Tottenham, and Coyle does not want to dwell on the incident. "The main thing is that Fabrice is well and back with his family after what happened," said Coyle. "I am sure it affected the lads, some more than others, seeing a team-mate and friend in that situation. "I carried on after that, just trying to do my best for the football club. But you could not make up the stuff that had happened to us along the way."
