Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Grimsby Town: Ricardo Almeida Santos and Jak Hickman good

Billy Crellin - 5

Didn't have a save of note to make in either half as neither side had a shot on target.

Ryan Delaney - 6

A little shaky at times but drove forward from the back at times to aid attacks and was not afraid to go in for a challenge.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Suits playing in the middle of a back three and looked assured defensively and winning aerial duels. Playing with confidence on the ball and was Wanderers' best centre defender.

Harry Brockbank - 7

Aggressive at times from the academy product and went close to opening the scoring from a corner at the end of the first half. Moved out to right wing back when Baptiste came on but was less effective in that role.

Jak Hickman - 7

The youngster was Bolton's most potent attacking threat and caused the Mariners problems down the right flank with his energy and crossing abilities. Was replaced by Baptsite midway through the second half.

Andrew Tutte - 7

Some nice passes from the former Manchester City trainee and works well with Sarcevic in the engine room. Not afraid to do the defensive side of the game.

Antoni Sarcevic - 6

Skipper had another solid showing in central midfield, where he can affect play more than in the number 10 role he occupied earlier in the season. Was quieter in the second half as the game wore on.

Jamie Mascoll - 6

Caught out a little bit defensively but a solid threat going forwards. Was replaced by Gordon in the second half.

Ali Crawford - 6

Nearly gave Bolton the lead with a dangerous free kick and put in some decent corners too. Was quiet in the second half.

Nathan Delfouneso - 5

Drifted out left at times to affect play and made some decent runs and worked hard defensively, but made little impact in the final third.

Eoin Doyle - 5

Had a few half chances which were blocked but also dropped deep at times to help build attacks. Ultimately a quiet day for the striker.

Substitutes

Alex Baptiste - 6

Came off the bench to replace Hickman and slotted into the back three. Got found out occasionally with pace but otherwise solid.

Brandon Comley - 6

Replaced Tutte in the midfield and was tidy enough when came on.

Liam Gordon - 5

Spent his time on the pitch mostly attacking but made little impact.
