We know we were fortunate," Coleman said after the 2-1 win at Loftus Road.
"We were poor for 75 minutes and Bolton were 1-0 up and deserved to be.
"But we had a lot of strong characters out there, kept fighting and scrapping and got our reward.
"The critics are ignoring us now and pretending we're not even there.
"But we're halfway through the season in another four games time so we must be doing something right.
"We've been consistent, although not absolutely brilliant in any games. It's only the last three games in which we're unbeaten but teams have to have their players at 100% to beat us.
"Now we've got to keep picking up as many points as we can."
