Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Rotherham United - Aimson, Dixon and Kachunga good

Joel Dixon - 7

Commanded box fairly well in first half to claim aerial balls and made pair of brilliant stops from Ladapo and Edmonds-Green after the break.

Adam Senior - 6

Youngster lined up as right-back once again and put in admirable performance including big block from Ihiekwe, but struggled to contain Ferguson.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Captain returned after serving suspension and slotted in like he had not been away, making aerial interceptions and showing defensive strength in duels when needed, but probably could have done better for second goal.

Will Aimson - 7.5

Made return after recovery from Covid-19 and had a solid and dependable afternoon alongside Santos, making interceptions and aerial clearances when needed.

Declan John - 6

Caught out at times defensively and could have done better to stop supply of crosses but got forward to support attacks fairly well and forced Johnasson into action

George Johnston - 7

Filled the boots of MJ Williams in the engine room and did a solid job, teeing up Doyle for what proved to be the equaliser.

George Thomason - 7.5

Plenty of energy and industry in the middle of the park and was bright and lively omn the ball throughout.

Elias Kachunga - 7

Impressive performance from the former Huddersfield Town man, adding moments of magic in the final third to help unlock the door for Wanderers.

Nathan Delfouneso - 5.5

Came into the team and put in a shift, particularly defensively, but had a limited impact going forwards.

Dapo Afolayan - 6.5

In the wars again on the end of some heavy challenges but played part in equalising goal before the break. Saw late effort parried wide and then blasted late chance over from close range.

Eoin Doyle - 7

Saw a few first half opportunities go wide or saved, but slotted home chance when it came to him immediately after Millers went in front. Taken off with 20 minutes left.

Substitutes:

Amadou Bakayoko - 5

Went through the middle upon his return from injury and then on the right, but made little impact.

Harry Brockbank - 5

Played at right-back after coming on. Blasted over in stoppage time.

Liam Gordon - 5

Replaced John in closing stages, but had no time to make impact.
