Owen Coyle was feeling hard done by after watching his Bolton side's unbeaten home run come to a halt against Crystal Palace.
He said: "It was the biggest penalty you will ever see in the first half, Darcy Blake was like Julian Speroni in goal.
"It was a soft penalty we conceded and it's happened to us now three times and has ultimately cost us the game and it's not good enough.
"We did enough to win that match and at least to take a point. I spoke to the referee after the game and he said he couldn't see what was a stonewall penalty.
"Goals change games and this result's really hard to take. We just want an even break and we are clearly not getting that at the moment.''

This just smacks of sheer desperation and coyle is obviously not willing to blame him and his own players for the fact we are not winning games.
He might say it's not good enough but the fact is all 3 were penalties so surely the blame goes with our defenders and not the ref?
The guys lost the plot IMO and as usual is trying to blame everything but himself for another defeat.
