Owen Coyle will have no doubt hand - picked plenty of positives from a
festive period which didn't exactly reap may rewards in terms of points, though even the potential manager of the

without registering a win in the league, a run that probably wasn't remedied by a 2 - 0 FA Cup third - round victory
over Conference side York City simply because it was scruffy and very fortuitous, not to mention required Coyle to draft in his big boys in the dyeing embers of the game.
