Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Bradford City: Oladapo Afolayan, Kieran Lee and Alex Baptiste good

Matt Gilks - 7

Few saves to make before the break, but made a vital one in closing stages to keep out Anthony O'Connor's header.

Gethin Jones - 7

Combined well with Isgrove in the final third and put in some dangerous deliveries in the final third - perhaps left Rowe free at the back post for the equaliser.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

The usual assured performance from the central defender. Was booked midway through second half after altercation with Paudie O'Connor.

Alex Baptiste - 7

Some great distribution from the back from the veteran defender, and also got forward well to support attacks.

Declan John - 7

Put in some decent crosses when coming forward from left-back and grew into the game.

MJ Williams - 7

Great defensive aspects to his game shown in central midfield and generally used the ball well.

Kieran Lee - 7

Calm in possession in the middle of the park from the ex-Sheffield Wednesday man and an assured performance.

Lloyd Isgrove - 7

Came into the side for Nathan Delfouneso and showed great energy with the counterpress, combining well with Jones.

Antoni Sarcevic - 5

Aside from putting in cross which nearly led to Doyle heading Wanderers in front, Bolton skipper lacked much of an impact in the final third.

Oladapo Afolayan - 8

Dangerous at times on the left flank from the West Ham United loanee and caused problems all afternoon. Also showed great work tracking back and defending.

Eoin Doyle - 6

Had some nice touches and one shot in the first half. Should have given Wanderers the lead with header he should have directed on target, but had a hand in the winner with deflected shot.

Substitutes

Nathan Delfouneso - 7

Came on for Sarcevic for the last 15 minutes and was in the right place to put the vital touch on the ball.

Shaun Miller - 5

Came on for Doyle after Bolton went ahead.

Arthur Gnahoua - 5

Replaced Isgrove late on.
