Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Huddersfield Town - Dapo Afolayan & Kieran Sadlier good

James Trafford - 7

Made great save to deny Kieran Phillips when the score was 0-0, but powerless to stop Danny Ward's opener. Aside from that, made the saves he needed to.

Gethin Jones - 7

Vice captain got forward when he could to support attacks, more threatening after the break. Taken off midway through the second half aftr returning from injury.

Ricardo Santos - 7

Made key interception to preserve deadlock, but beaten in the air by Danny Ward for Huddersfield's opener. Passing off at times but improved as the game went on.

George Johnston - 6.5

Some eye-catching diagonal passes from former Wigan Athletic loanee, but struggled at times defensively against a strong Town team

Conor Bradley - 7.5

Liverpool loanee's first game at the University of Bolton Stadium. Grew into the game after the break in particular and saw second half goalbound shot blocked.

MJ Williams - 7.5

Generally read the game well in the middle of the park and solid in possession as usual.

Aaron Morley - 6.5

Up and down with the ball in the middle for the former Rochdale man. Some nice passing at times.

Declan John - 7

The more productive of Boltons' two wing-backs going forwards. Crossing decisions could have been better at times but looked dangerous when they were on point.

Kieran Lee - 6.5

Did more defensive work in early stages. Started in the number 10 role and some intelligent use of the ball at times. Taken off after an hour.

Dapo Afolayan - 8

The chief creator for Wanderers in the first half with a couple of opportunities and one who caused Town problems. Largely the same after the break and went into number 10 role in second half.

Dion Charles - 7

Quiet start but grew into encounter as it wore on. Perhaps unfortunate not to have won a first
