Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Grimsby Town - Matt Gilks and Lloyd Isgrove good

Matt Gilks - 8

Made save after save in the second half to keep Wanderers in the game, including a remarkable quadruple stop in the space of 10 seconds.

Gethin Jones - 5

A bit of joy on the right in the final third, teaming up with Isgrove. Slipped at vital time for second goal.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 5

Had tough day along with rest of the defence against likes of Hanson, Jojhn-Lewis and Matete.

Alex Baptiste - 5

Struggled to deal with aerial presence along with the rest of the defence in a difficult afternoon.

Declan John - 5

Quiet on the left flank going forward and was caught out at the back on numerous occasions, but a few decent deliveries in the final third.

MJ Williams - 6

Picked up an early yellow card but used possession well during the encounter.

George Thomason - 7

Could have levelled with great first half chance. Showed great energy and tenacity in the middle and great range of passing too.

Kieran Lee - 7

Some lovely touches in the approaches to the final third to get Bolton in promising positions.

Lloyd Isgrove - 7

Main attacking outlet in the first half with some dangerous crosses - taken off after the break.

Eoin Doyle - 5

Starved of service for much of first half apart from one chance on the break. Had great chance after the break which he should have taken.

Oladapo Afolayan - 6

Won a few free kicks in the first half and improved after the break - substituted in the second half.

Harry Brockbank - 5

Went to left-back after replacing John

Played behind Doyle initially before going into the number nine role - great finish in stoppage time to halve the deficit.
