Player Ratings: Bolton Wanderers 1-0 Stevenage

Matt Gilks - 6.5

Steady performance from the experienced ‘keeper. Handled everything that came his way (not that there was a lot).

Gethin Jones - 7

His attacking game is improving every week, coupled with another solid defensive display. Evatt certainly has two good options when Brockbank returns.

Ricardo Santos - 8.5

Another strong and dominant defensive display, one of the most composed players in the team. Just a shame he couldn’t capitalise on that chance at the start of the second half.

Alex Baptiste - 8.5

Another great performance, has formed a good partnership with Santos. His experience really makes a difference in the side.

Declan John - 8

Great finish for the goal and a great performance on his first start for the club. Formed a good partnership down the left side with Dapo & made a strong case to be the number one left back going forward.

MJ Williams - 5.5

Was very unfortunate to see red for the second dodgy decision this week. Looked good off the ball however he seemed to have a lack of composure and his passing left little to be desired. Could benefit playing alongside someone like Tutte or Lee.

George Thomason - 7.5

Couple mistakes defending but he’s improving every game. Has a proper wand of a left foot, if he can improve his right then we could have a real special player in the making.

Nathan Delfouneso - 7

A relatively quiet afternoon for Fonz but he worked tirelessly.

Dapo Afolayan - 8

May have been a couple blips, though i’ll put that down to experience. Looks to be a special player, works hard getting back in defence and makes clever runs off the ball.

Marcus Maddison - 6

Lacking match sharpness for sure, though you could see bits of his quality with a couple of his passes. Excited to see him at his best.

Eoin Doyle - 7

Didn’t get many chances so just not his day in front of goal, though he worked hard for the team again.

Subs:

Arthur Gnahoua - 6.5

Quiet game today, however he didn’t put a foot wrong.

Lloyd Isgrove - 6.5

Few quality touches today and worked hard as usual.

Andrew Tutte - 6.5

Did his job well after coming on to fill the gap left by Williams’ red card. Will probably get the nod to start on Wednesday.
