Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Burton Albion - Sadlier & Charles rare positives as defence poor
manchestereveningnews.co.ukJames Trafford - 5 Perhaps could have done better with some of the goals, but predominantly the defence in front of him at fault for those. Will Aimson - 5 Slotted into right hand side of back three in place of Gethin Jones and was sloppy with challenges in first half and was second best several times in duels. Ricardo Almeida Santos - 5 Captain failed to impose himself in aerial duels in first half as defence failed to deal with set pieces from the Brewers. George Johnston - 5.5 Put in some robust challenges at times, but along with rest of defence, not good enough to deal with aerial challenges in nightmare first half. Marlon Fossey - 5 Failed to pick up his man for one of the first half goals in perhaps the most subdued performance of his impressive loan spell so far.
Improved slightly after the break. Kyle Dempsey - 5.5 Made second Wanderers start in place of injured Kieran Lee but struggled to make much impact on the encounter. MJ Williams - 5 Largely anonymous for much of the first half.
Booked after the break for challenge on Burton goalscorer Joe Powell. Kieran Sadlier - 6.5 Went to the number 10 role and made his first Bolton start.
Forced Ben Garratt into good save from free-kick in perhaps Bolton's only first half positive. Declan John - 5 Put in the odd decent delivery when going forwards, but failed to make much impact on the game from wing-back. Amadou Bakayoko - 5 Failed to make much impact in first half and had chip after the break but that was about it.
