Spillervurderinger Barrow – Bolton

The Bolton News har vurdert spillerne etter cup-kampen tirsdag 3. september.

Vurderingene etter 3-2 borte mot Barrow i EFL Trophy er gjort av Chief Football Writer i The Bolton News, Marc Iles.

NATHAN BAXTER…7.

Came up with two very big saves in the first half. One of those slips his grasp and it could have been a very different type of night.

JOSH DACRES-COGLEY…6.

Playing on the right side of the back three he did the job he was asked to do. No frills and only occasionally managed to push forward, it was all solid enough.

RICARDO SANTOS…6.

Perhaps caught a yard too deep for Barrow’s second but otherwise had a reasonable night against a decent striker in Dallas.

GEORGE JOHNSTON…6.5.

His positioning bailed Bolton out a couple of times when crosses came flashing into the box. Another steady Eddie defensively.

JORDI OSEI-TUTU…6.

Was Bolton’s best attacking threat until he was forced to come off. Hopefully the knee issue will not be anything that keeps him out for long.

JAY MATETE…6.5.

Got his challenges in, used the ball well on the whole, and got involved all over the pitch. Really pushing for a start in the league now.

GEORGE THOMASON…6.

Not everything worked out for him – and he was guilty of a couple of sloppy passes in his own half – but Thomason was trying stuff others weren’t, and that worked in the end.

SZABI SCHON…6.

Beaten in the air for the opening goal but looked more lively going forward than he had at the weekend.

JOHN MCATEE…7.

Grabbed a first goal in Bolton Wanderers colours and deserved it for continually trying to make something happen.

KYLE DEMPSEY…7.

Combined well with Osei-Tutu on the right and looked busy all evening. Another one to open his account for the new season.

AARON COLLINS…7.

Not at his best in the first half but really came alive in the second, scoring a magnificent goal to put Wanderers ahead.

Subs: Matheson 6.5, 32 (for Osei-Tutu) – Full of energy. Good showing.

Lewis 90+4 (for McAtee).
