NATHAN BAXTER…7.
made a great save against Potts in the first half and tried his hardest to prevent the second goal from being scored. A really good night’s work.
RICARDO SANTOS…8.
Looked imperious in the first 45 minutes, 10/10 territory. Did concede a few chances after the break but can still be very pleased with his performance.
EOIN TOAL…8.
Perhaps throughout his career, he won’t score a better header. Fantastic finish, coming just after he was swerving down the left wing. Fantastic content.
WILL FORRESTER…8.
Back in the side and showing what a really promising defensive talent Bolton have on their hands. No nonsense, and that challenge on half time was [chef’s kiss].
GETHIN JONES…7
Despite being pinned back after the interval, his move to wing-back for some added defensive grit paid dividends. Dedicated to his work.
PARIS MAGHOMA…7
The star player for the first half-hour, and even when Bolton’s possession game slowed down a little, taking him out of the game, it still demonstrates what he can do.
JOSH SHEEHAN…8.5.
created a fantastic ball for Thomason’s goal and took control of the game in the last minutes to turn it back into a football battle. outstanding form.
GEORGE THOMASON…7.5
Recently, we’ve seen a new George Thomason—one who is attempting to become a true all-round player by perfecting his attacking skills. A strong conclusion for the second indicates his success.
JOSH DACRES-COGLEY…7.
Made some good inroads early on, and proved he can be effective on the left as well as the right.
VICTOR ADEBOYEJO…6.
Had to work hard against some physical defenders but kept the ball as well as most on the park. Not a night he will have enjoyed – but did his bit.
DION CHARLES…6.
A night of chasing for the main part. A couple of half-chances from the edge of the box but did a job for the team more than anything else.
SUBS players…..
Subs: Morley 7, 66 (for Maghoma) – Scored from the spot and added some calmness.
Jerome 82 (for Adeboyejo), Nlundulu 82 (for Charles).
Not used: Coleman, Iredale, Bodvarsson, Nlundulu, Williams, Jerome.
Tactics 7/10 – The defensive shake-up caused a few raised eyebrows before kick-off, with Jones pushed to the right and Dacres-Cogley on the left. It was a bold move that paid off. Just!
Wycombe (3-4-3): Stryjek; Keogh, Low, Leahy; Pattenden, Scowen, Potts, Boyes; Hanlan, Phillips, Taylor.
Subs: Wheeler 68 (for Pattenden), McCleary 68 (for Hanlan), Sadlier 70 (for Scowen), Vokes 80 (for Taylor) Not used: Ravizzoli, Tafazolli, Breckin.
Referee: Leigh Doughty 6/10 – Felt like Bolton were getting the thin end of the wedge on decisions in the second half. One free kick given against Dion Charles for a foul on Joe Low seemed to have been granted on his scream alone. No major issues, though.
