Bolton Wanderers told transfer window priority before deadline after Plymouth Argyle loss

Bolton Wanderers suffered defeat this afternoon at the hands of Plymouth Argyle.

Wanderers had started the first half well and went close to going ahead through Kieran Lee in the opening 30 minutes, but his effort was deflected wide. Conor Bradley also saw a low effort go wide of goal.

But Wanderers were meant to pay for defensive frailties when Niall Ennis got the better of skipper Ricardo Santos to slot past James Trafford. It was a sucker punch for the visitors.

The Whites should have equalised after the break when Amadou Bakayoko's effort was saved and pushed onto the post by Pilgrims goalkeeper Michael Cooper. But Ryan Hardie fired home a late second to ensure the hosts would claim the three points.

There is now under a week to go until the summer transfer window closes. Clubs have until 11pm on Thursday, September 1, to bring in new players.

After the game, Wanderers fans took to Twitter to have their say on where Bolton should strengthen. Morecambe striker Cole Stockton, who has speculation surrounding his future, is a common choice among supporters.
