Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Cambridge United - Dapo Afolayan good in loss

Joel Dixon - 6

Tipped early chance over and looked shaky at times in first half before improving after the break.

Gethin Jones - 6

Had an okay game at right-back but struggled to make an impact going forwards. Taken off for Kachunga as Wanderers trailed game.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 5

One of his poorer games for Wanderers after going up against Joe Ironside and passing was unusually off.

George Johnston - 6

One of the better players in the first half, with good distribution of the ball out from the back. Struggled to deal with Ironside too and was replaced by Baptiste.

Declan John - 5

Left-back had poor afternoon against the U's both defensively and going forwards in the first half. Improved a bit after the break.

MJ Williams - 6

Struggled in middle of the park when Cambridge countered in first half. Improved after the break before being taken off for Delfouneso as equaliser sought.

Josh Sheehan - 6

Like rest of team, struggled to get into gear in first half. Struck post after the break and was better in the second half.

Antoni Sarcevic - 5

Booked for dissent in first half., but a lack of cutting edge from the skipper at the Abbey Stadium.

Lloyd Isgrove - 5

Hardworking on the flanks but lacked end product. Later moved to right-back when Kachunga come on for Jones.

Eoin Doyle - 5

Had little to feed on in the first half and after the break in a tough day at the office.

Dapo Afolayan - 7

One of the few creative sparks from Wanderers in the first period and afterwards. The main threat on the day and Wanderers' best player.

Substitutes

Elias Kachunga - 6

Went to the right flank after coming on. Some moments of quality from the former Sheffield Wednesday attacker.

Alex Baptiste - 6

Went into the heart of defence in place of Johnston.

Nathan Delfouneso - 5

Came on late and played behind Doyle. Had little time to make an impact.
