Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Bamber Bridge - Ex-Manchester United youngster among those to impress

Luke Hutchinson - 7.5

Rarely called into action in the first half but made fantastic late save to deny Macauley Wilson before half-time, matched by another great reaction to deny Nathan Pond's header before full-time.

Adam Senior - 7

Captained the side and looked solid on the right hand side of defence for the most part with a great block in the first half in particular. Goalscorer Fin Sinclair-Smith got in behind him for the goal but otherwise good.

Lamine Toure - 6.5

Defender in the middle had tough battle against veteran playuer Nathan Pond. Improved after the break.

Noah Halford - 6

Struggled on the left hand side of the back three against Brig's right flank attackers, particularly in the first half. Recovered after the break and

Lynford Sackey - 7

Looked bright down the right flank when given the ball like against Atherton Collieries and the chance to run at the Brig rearguard.

Nelson Khumbeni - 7

Had first half injury scare but continued. Plenty of energy shown in the middle of the park and improved after the break

Andrew Tutte - 7

Usually made the correct decisions on the ball and added some experience in central midfield. Taken off before the end.

Max Conway - 6.5

Grew in inflience down the left flank as the game wore on, but struggled defensively at times against the lively Trialist C in the first half.

Connor Stanley - 7.5

Former Manchester United youngster looked bright in the number 10 role and one of the most creative players for Wanderers. Forced Felix Goddard into action in first half.

Amadou Bakayoko - 6.5

Wanderers' second top scorer last season given some minutes to build up fitness ahead of new season. Had late chance before the break.

Conor Carty - 7

Ex-Wolves man was one of the brighter attacking talents with exciting glimpses, none moreso when forcing Felix Goddard into action early in the second half.

Substitutes

Gerald Sithole - 6

Replaced Bakayoko on the hour mark, but no real chances to speak of.

Finlay Lockett - 5.5

Replaced Carty towards the closing stages of the clash and saw late effort go wide.

Arran Pettifer - 5

Came on as a late substitute and had little time to make much impact.
