Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs MK Dons - Kyle Dempsey and Ricardo Santos good in loss
manchestereveningnews.co.ukJames Trafford - 6 Made a couple of good saves directly before Mo Eisa's opening goal. Short pass out from the back led to Scott Twine doubling the Dons' advantage. Gethin Jones - 6 Vice-captain got forward on the odd occasion where possible, but main task was attempting to contain vibrant Dons front three. Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7 Came back into the heart of the back three and had tough job particulrly up against Eisa but did very well considering and was not beaten in one v one encounters generally.
Could have headed equaliser at 1-0. George Johnston - 6 Made several no nonsense clearances when needed and important interceptions.
But decisions in possession at times could have been better Marlon Fossey - 6 Was only able to show flashes going forwards owing to Dons threat and struggled at times defensively down his flank to support Jones. Aaron Morley - 5 Crowded out by Dons midfield as he was pressed often on tough afternoon and was booked midway through first half.
Removed at the break for Dapo Afolayan. MJ Williams - 6.5 Generally solid in possession and worked to try and press the Dons midfield and find openings for Wanderers when they did have the ball. Declan John - 6.5 Put it teasing corner which nearly led to first half equaliser for Bakayoko and was generally decent with his set piece deliveries.
