Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Leyton Orient: Kieran Lee, Alex Baptiste and Arthur Gnahoua good

Matt Gilks - 7

Had little to do in the first half with no saves to make. A couple of solid stops after the break and good distribution.

Harry Brockbank - 7

Struggled at times up against Wilkinson in first half but recovered well and a threat going forwards, as highlighted by second half goal.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Looked solid at the back with a good partnership alongside Baptiste as Orient struggled to break Wanderers down.

Alex Baptiste - 8

Composed and assured performance upon his return to the team. Part of a back four which afforded few chances to the O's.

Ben Jackson - 6

Some decent crosses from the Huddersfield Town loanee. Was replaced before the end by Declan John.

Lloyd Isgrove -7

Looked decent throughout and helped set up opener. Brought off for Elbouzedi in the second half.

Kieran Lee - 8

A solid display in central midfield on his injury return and was inches from connecting with cross which could have given Wanderers lead. Put in cross for opening goal.

George Thomason - 7

Gave the ball away at times but looked bright in possession with some eye catching cross field passes.

Arthur Gnahoua - 8

Handed starting place after encouraging cameos of late off the bench and looked a threat - teed up Doyle's goal.

Nathan Delfouneso - 6

Good build-up play from former Blackpool man but should have taken huge first half chance and also could have done better with stoppage time effort.

Eoin Doyle - 7

Nearly scored in first half with tipped over effort but scored clinical second goal with low finish.

Substitutes

Declan John - 6

Came on for Wanderers debut in closing stages and looked solid.

Zack Elbouzedi - 5

Added some extra pace in dying stages but arguably should have squared for free Gnahoua with later chance.
