'Absolutely right' - Bolton Wanderers fans give verdict on midfield Shrewsbury Town decision

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made only one change to his side to face Shrewsbury Town this afternoon.

Joel Dixon keeps his place as goalkeeper, while the back four lines up as Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, George Johnston and Declan John.

In central midfield, MJ Williams keeps his place, as does Antoni Sarcevic, while Kieran Lee keeps his place in the Wanderers team.

And upfront, Evatt has named Elias Kachunga , Eoin Doyle and Dapo Afolayan as the front three.

On the bench for Wanderers today are Nathan Delfouneso, Josh Sheehan, Amadou Bakayoko, Lloyd Isgrove, George Thomason, Alex Baptiste and Liam Gordon.

Johnston is the only change, coming in for Baptiste.

Wanderers fans have reacted to the team news on Twitter and appear to back the decision to keep Lee in central midfield after his two goals over Charlton Athletic in midweek.

@bwfcnathan posted: "Great to finally see Bakayoko on the bench. Strong team. Come on Bolton!"

@Samsbwfc posted: "Good line up that Lee deserves to keep his place 100% COYWM."

@bwfcmax2 posted: "I’m not hating on sarce because I want him dropped. It’s the logical thinking he hasn’t had a rest all season and runs every game. in recent games he’s tired There are moments in the game where you won’t see him for 30 mins and especially today think Sheehan should start."
