In the postponed match at Cambridge United yesterday night, Ian Evatt provided an explanation for the inclusion of Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Calvin Ramsay, and Zac Ashworth in his matchday squad.
Wanderers made four changes for the Abbey Stadium match, which was cancelled due to a flooded field after just nine minutes of play.
Prior to the match, Evatt had talked about “complications” about injuries, and it is believed that she was worried about goalie Nathan Baxter’s wrist injury from the 1-1 draw with Barnsley.
Additionally, adding Joel Coleman to the team as cover gave the Bolton manager a decision to make.
Regarding his choice for the match, he remarked, “To be honest, we felt the need to have a keeper on the bench, which changed things.”
“There was a red flag on the data to say ‘be careful,'” since Calvin Ramsay and Zac Ashworth both recovered from injuries and had played a lot of football in recent weeks.Additionally, I was unable to bench my three forwards due to the keeper. Given the circumstances, we believed that we would have to proceed with the other two: Although Jon is a team player and understands it, things can change on Saturday at Northampton.
After entering the game on Saturday in the second half, Aaron Collins got along well with Bodvarsson. However, there was conjecture prior to the match on whether the deadline-day signing would receive the starting nod.
Evatt gave an explanation of his bench-starting origins at Cambridge.
He remarked, “We were watching the weather forecast all day and then saw Burton and Cheltenham fall by the wayside, so I started to think about which players would be best in such circumstances.
“Aaron is still adjusting to our presence.” He will play a significant role, but he must get acclimated to our procedures and organisational structure. You witnessed the influence he can have, therefore it will take some time.
