Bolton Wanderers player ratings against Colchester United: Kieran Lee and Declan John good

Matt Gilks - 6

Didn't have a shot to save in the first half and was the same case after the break in a quiet afternoon on that front.

Gethin Jones - 7

Hit the bar in first half during pinball in the box and was a threat at times down the right hand side.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Some rare sloppiness in possession in the first half but an otherwise solid performance from the central defender.

Alex Baptiste - 7

Solid and composed at the back from the former Blackpool defender. Made clearances when needed to.

Declan John - 7

Struck the bar with early free kick and was a threat down the left flank going forward.

MJ Williams - 6

Did defensive duties well in the middle of the park and reliable in possession generally, though a tad erratic after the break.

Kieran Lee - 8

Some lovely passes from the former Sheffield Wednesday man and one of the most impressive players for Wanderers on the day, also solid defensive contribution too.

Arthur Gnahoua - 5

Came into the team for George Thomason but failed to make much of an impact in the first half. Replaced after the break b y Maddison.

Nathan Delfouneso - 6

Played in behind Doyle and was involved in attacks and getting Wanderers moving to the final third. Brought off on the hour.

Oladapo Afolayan - 6

Did well on the left flank with several moments of real quality. Also tracked back to help out defensively and was substituted in the second half.

Eoin Doyle - 6

Had first half opener ruled out for offside and also had header cleared off the line. Worked hard up front.

Substitutes

Zack Elbouzedi - 6

Moved to the left flank and forced Gerken into a diving stop in the closing stages.

Marcus Maddison - 6

Played centrally initially before moving out to the right when Miller came on and put in some crosses.

Shaun Miller - 5

Slotted into the number 10 position behind Doyle after coming on.
