Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Sunderland player ratings: How James Hunter rated the players

Sunderland were poor as they only managed a late draw away to bottom of the league Bolton Wanderers.

Aiden McGeady's late penalty rescued a point for the Black Cats who fell behind to Jack Hobb's goal.

The Black Cats fans voiced their frustrations with manager Jack Ross during the game too, as pressure grows on the Scot.

Here's how James Hunter rated the Sundreland players in the game at the University of Bolton Stadium.

 JON McLAUGHLIN 6
Made a couple of decent stops, nothing he could do about the goal

LUKE O’NIEN 6
Played 45mins at right-back and 45 at left-back, and did OK

TOM FLANAGAN 5
Headed against the bar late on. Too often sloppy in possession

JORDAN WILLIS 6
Swept up everything that came his way

DENVER HUME 5
Good going forward but struggled against Verlinden defensively, and went off at half-time

LYNDEN GOOCH 5
Brought one save out of Matthews, otherwise there was no end product

GRANT LEADBITTER 6
Kept driving Sunderland forward but to no avail

GEORGE DOBSON 6
Had one great chance in the first half but his touch let him down

AIDEN McGEADY 6
Did not let his midweek penalty miss get to him, and held his nerve to convert at the death

CHRIS MAGUIRE 5
Forced Matthews into a save in the first half but was generally unimpressive

WILL GRIGG 5
Had the chance to stake a claim, but did not seize it. Headed a clear chance wide in the first half

SUBS
CONOR McLAUGHLIN 5
For Hume 46mins. Gave away the free-kick for the Bolton goal
CHARLIE WYKE 6
For Maguire 66mins. Offered a focal point when Sunderland poured forward


MAX POWER 6
For Leadbitter 74mins. Carried on where Leadbitter left off

NOT USED: Burge, Ozturk, McGeouch, Embleton
