The Bolton News har vurdert spillerne etter kampen lørdag 11. januar.
Vurderingene etter 3-1 tapet borte mot Rotherham er gjort av Chief Football Writer i The Bolton News, Marc Iles.
NATHAN BAXTER…6.
Came up with a big save early on to deny Wilks and another in the second half at 2-0 when Wanderers threatened to go under. One of few who can probably escape blame.
WILL FORRESTER…3.5.
Looked shaky from minute one as Powell caused issues on the left, and he didn’t cover himself in glory with the defending prior to the penalty.
RICARDO SANTOS…3.5.
After a few mistakes in recent games, his confidence seems to be low, which for a player relied upon as the last line of defence is not a good look. Penalty and yellow was the right call.
GEORGE JOHNSTON…3.5.
Another one who looks lost at sea at the moment. Had a very early chance to score but otherwise he got attention only for misplacing so many passes.
RANDELL WILLIAMS…3.5.
Two steps backwards after some reasonable performances on the right. So sloppy on the ball at times and dominated by McWilliams and James.
AARON MORLEY…5.
Did work his way into the game a little by the end and also put in some decent set pieces in the first half, which went unpunished.
GEORGE THOMASON…3.5.
His run of poor form continues and resulted in him being hooked early in the second half for Dion Charles. Capable of so much more.
JOEL RANDALL…5.
Popped up a few times in the opening half an hour and offered a few clever touches which hinted at better times ahead. Almost redundant in the second half.
SZABI SCHON…4.5.
Showed a little hustle but still looks like a winger playing wing-back and the gaps behind him can be punished by the smarter teams.
AARON COLLINS…3.5.
Ian Evatt had called for his top scorer to produce ‘moments’ more consistently but here he was a peripheral figure for the whole game.
JOHN MCATEE…4.
Came up with a goal late on but his overall performance lacked any other substance. Given his pedigree, Bolton need a lot more.
Subs: Dacres-Cogley 5, 60 (for Williams) – Added a little more stability.
Charles 5, 60 (for Thomason) – Missed a sitter but did offer more threat.
