Entertaining first half, by both teams, but Town didn't come out for the second half. Our woeful defending and lack of midfield leadership throughout, coupled with naive tactics made the game easy for a well drilled Bolton side. Burns, Bonne and Aluko put in fine performances, plus Donacien from the bench, but perhaps Manager Cook needs help from someone like MacGreal to help cure our defensive woes?

Walton - poor decisions neither came for the ball nor left it. Think communication was better with a non-English speaking keeper. Bring back Holy quickly

KVY - no where near the player he was. No longer a defender.

Edmundson - Is he better than what we have. Has the wait been worth it?

Burgess - Okay, nothing special, strongest of a weak back 4

Coulson - Not as good as the last game, worked well

Harper - Waves his arms directing others, but does very little himself, needs to concentrate on his own game

Evans - Waves his arms directing others, but does less than Harper. As a paring this is our weak spot.

Burns - On fire today two goals from his two crosses

Chaplin - if the ball was played to his feet then we would get so much more from him, however to many balls to his head

Aluko - Ball control and touches were fantastic today. Should be in the middle instead of Harper and Evans

Bonne - Tried hard, scored the first goal and then every ball to him thereafter was hoofed from the back 4 because there is no midfield to pass to. Only wide men.

Jackson - Not sure why he was brought on. Not his fault.

Carroll - Forgot he had come on the pitch I was so annoyed by this time. Cant remember if he did anything. Not his fault.

Donacien - Got pulled inside so many times by Bolton to leave the gaps out wide. Not as solid as previous games.

Cook - Change the formation. For all of the personnel changes, these are your players. The one constant has been the formation which does not work. Get a defensive number 2 now as the current management team are useless. Jobs for the boys who dont know what they are doing. Give the kit man his old job back now he is way above his head.

I hate to say it but it would seem as though Mr Cook has 'all the gear...and no idea' !!!
Wes Burns was awesome and the standout player
