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.

@DaveP_BWFC posted: "As a lot of people have said: we need a prolific striker at this level (Stockton?) and a super-solid central defender."
Jack Halliwell wrote: "Had some time to digest things and I'm very dissapointed. We shouldnt be dominating games and loosing, think a point was fair. We're missing too many easy chances and we need a striker who can score out and out. Baka simply isn't doing it at the moment."

Chris McKeown wrote: "Well I thought we needed a striker , we definitely need one now..Dadi and Charles will get goals but behind that if they are off form or injured we have no genuine regular scoring back up.. but I also think we need a leader , a Roy Keane type to come in now..big week ahead."
@ab1d03 posted: "To those who say Stockton ain’t the answer, who do we bring in? Cos we deffo need a striker, with the exception of Dion and possibly Dadi I’d say none of our strikers know where the net is."
