Thomason shines & Lee's quality - Four ups & one down for Bolton Wanderers from Charlton win

Bolton Wanderers returned to winning ways in League One with a 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic as they came from behind.

Scott Fraser put the hosts into the lead early on after capitalising on George Johnston's error. But Conor Bradley struck not long after to put Bolton back on level terms.

The Whites went ahead before the break when Kieran Lee found the net. After half-time, Johnston helped to atone for his earlier error to score Bolton's third.

After the game, we analyse the ups and downs from a Wanderers perspective from the encounter and here's what we made of it.

Ups

George Thomason shines

George Thomason has found opportunities hard to come by this campaign in arguably the strongest area of the Wanderers squad. He has Aaron Morley, Kyle Dempsey, MJ Williams and the returning Josh Sheehan as competition.

He was handed a starting berth against Charlton and his inclusion rose some eyebrows pre-match. It was his first start in League One this season.

But it proved to be a fantastic selection choice from Ian Evatt as the midfielder produced a fantastic performance in the middle of the park. It was a clear man of the match showing.

His passing range and his ability to make the right choices with the ball was clear for all to see. The young midfielder was handed an opportunity and he took it with both hands.

Lee shows quality
