Bolton Wanderers player ratings v Southend United: Alex Baptiste, Ricardo Almeida Santos and Kieran Lee good

Matt Gilks - 7

Communicated throughout as ever, had few saves to make in first half, and didn't have a great deal to do after the break.

Gethin Jones - 7

Caught out a couple of times defensively on the right, but generally solid performance from the full-back.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 8

Another strong display in central defence as partnership with Baptiste continues to blossom and go from strength to strength.

Alex Baptiste - 8

Another assured performance from the veteran defender and made numerous blocks and headers.

Declan John - 7

Rapid when getting forward from left-back to support attacks and counters.

MJ Williams - 7

Solid distribution of the ball and good defensive work too throughout the encounter, but was booked late on.

Kieran Lee - 7

Showed classy touches throughout and tried to get things moving with good ball retention.

Marcus Maddison - 6

Curled spectacular effort which landed inches over just before half-time, failed to make much impact in second half.

Nathan Delfouneso - 5

Restored to starting XI in place of Lloyd Isgrove, but failed to make much of an impact and was taken off after the hour.

Oladapo Afolayan - 7

A bright spark for Wanderers in the opening 45 minutes and good defensive work too.

Eoin Doyle - 5

Had chance cleared off the line near end of first half, but not his day overall and was replaced before the end.

Substitutes

Antoni Sarcevic - 5

Made injury return but looked rusty after almost a month out of action - but had a hand in Miller's goal

Arthur Gnahoua - 6

Some flashes from Wednesday evening's hero, including a run into the box which lead to Miller's goal.

Lloyd Isgrove - 5

Lacked much of an impact after coming off the bench.

Shaun Miller - 7

Came on for Doyle towards the end and was in the right place at right to tuck home.
