Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs FC United of Manchester as George Johnston scores late equaliser

First half team

Matt Gilks - 6

First pre-season outing for the veteran and made a couple of solid saves in his first half of football since the League Two final day against Crawley.

Gethin Jones - 6

Got forward at times but spent a lot of time at the back having to keep the hosts quiet down the left.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 6

Solid defensively but struggled to take ball out of defence much due to a hardworking FC United forward line.

Alex Baptiste - 6

Allowed a Wanderers trialist a chance early doors but fairly solid afterwards. One of two Bolton players to play on after the break.

Declan John - 5

Some nice balls forward but was caught out at times defensively by a vibrant FC United attack.

Josh Sheehan - 6

Some bright spells on the ball for the former Newport County man, but sometimes failed to anticipate being closed down so quickly.

Kieran Lee - 6

Like Sheehan, the odd good spell in possession but in a central midfield area where Wanderers were closed down quickly.

Antoni Sarcevic - 6

Looked bright after recovering from a hamstring strain and had the ball in the back of the net but it was chalked off for offside

Lloyd Isgrove - 5

Put in a couple of good crosses from the right before being switched to the left flank but failed to make much of an impac.

Amadou Bakayoko - 6

Nearly latched onto a couple of inviting balls forward. Continued after the break before coming off on 60 minutes.

Dapo Afolayan - 7

The principal attacking threat for Bolton in the first half with some good runs and inviting crosses.

Second half substitutes

Joel Dixon - 4

A moment to forget for the new goalkeeper with the opening goal.

Harry Brockbank - 6

Went to right-back and was solid at the back but didn't contribute loads going forwards

George Johnston - 7

A couple of key interceptions made in second half before scoring late equaliser at the death.

Liam Gordon - 5

Had a quieter game compared to previous pre-season appearances so far.

MJ Williams - 7

Showed aggression in the middle of the park with challenges and tackles as sat if front of the back four in a 4-3-3.

George Thomason - 6

Wasn't able to show the regular passing ability as normal due to being closed down in tight central midfield area.

Andrew Tutte - 5

Played alongside Thomason a little further forward than Williams in a midfield three.

Xavier Amaechi - 5

Made one long run in the second half which ended with a shot in fairly quiet game for Hamburg loanee.

Nathan Delfouneso - 6

Started second half on the left initially before going through the middle when Bakayoko went off.

Ronan Darcy - 6

Came on for Bakayoko and went to the left hand side - put ball into box which led to equaliser.

Adam Senior - 7

Replaced Baptiste for the final half an hour and looked calm on the ball, and grabbed an assist late on.
