Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Morecambe - Ben Jackson, Ricardo Santos and Alex Baptiste good

Matt Gilks - 7

Did the job when called up in first half and made some key stops towards full-time.

Gethin Jones - 7

Another solid shift from the right-back in both defence and attack.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 8

In the right place at the right time to make the vital interception in another brilliant performance from one of the stars of Bolton's season.

Alex Baptiste - 8

Overcame early limp to put it great performance at the back and contributed to attacks in another composed match from the veteran.

Ben Jackson - 8

Returned to the stating line up for the injured Declan John and scored crucial opening goal. Some dangerous crosses too.

MJ Williams - 7

Sat in front of back four and mopped up where needed, with decent distribution of the ball.

Kieran Lee - 7

Furthest forward of midfield trio and showed great energy to get things moving in the final third.

George Thomason - 5

Struggled to adapt to pace of the game in the first half and passing was off compared to usual accuracy. An off day for the youngster.

Lloyd Isgrove - 6

Mixed first half but more involved after the break with more space against the 10 men - taken off for Elbouzedi before full-time.

Eoin Doyle - 6

Had few chances in the first half and didn't have much after the break. Put in a shift as usual off the ball.

Oladapo Afolayan - 6

Involved in incident which was Kelvin Mellor sent off and Derek Adams shown yellow card - looked bright but was booked too and replaced at half-time.

Substitutes

Nathan Delfouneso - 6

Went onto the left flank after replacing Afolayan at the break.

Antoni Sarcevic - 7

Showed touches of class after coming on upon return from injury.

Shaun Miller - 6

Showed some good touches after replacing Doyle.

Zack Elbouzedi - 6

Went to the right flank and showed pace at times to get in behind the Morecambe defence - but could have shot on goal towards the end.
