Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Morecambe: Eoin Doyle, Alex Baptiste and Oladapo Afolayan good

Matt Gilks - 6

Made one stop in the first half and communicated constantly throughout the game. Got a hand to the equalising goal but couldn't keep it out.

Harry Brockbank - 6

Had a relatively decent game at right-back but had evening curtailed early due to second half injury

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Looked decent and composed again, like and Baptiste did against Leyton Orient the last time Wanderers were in action.

Alex Baptiste - 7

Another solid performance from the veteran who was not really troubled and made several good interceptions

Ben Jackson - 6

A fairly good if unspectacular performance at left-back - was replaced by John before full-time.

MJ Williams - 7

Handed debut from the start played lots of short passes - looked fairly tidy and played the entire match.

George Thomason - 7

Another composed and impressive evening in the middle. Still some rough edges to be smoothed over but a talented prospect no doubt.

Lloyd Isgrove - 5

Some flashes from the winger but struggled to make much of an impact and was taken off after the hour.

Nathan Delfouneso - 6

Good run for opening goal and teed up Doyle well, taken off for Elbouzedi before 80 minutes.

Arthur Gnahoua - 5

Set Delfouneso away for opener and, like Isgrove, showed some flashes but lacked consistency.

Eoin Doyle - 7

Should have done better with one chance straight at Kyle Letheren, but made up for it with clinical and cool finish later.

Substitutes

Marcus Maddison - 3

Debut lasted 12 minutes - had a powerful shot saved but was later shown straight red card for challenge on Wildig.

Oladapo Afolayan - 7

Bright moments from the West Ham United loanee after coming off the bench for his debut.

Gethin Jones - 6

Filled in for the injured Brockbank and looked solid after coming on.

Declan John - 6

Replaced Jackson and went close to adding Bolton's second with shot which landed over the bar.

Zack Elbouzedi - 5

Went to the right wing, lost marker for the goal.
