Ian Evatt admitted he was frustrated and underwhelmed with Bolton's second half showing in the 4-0 win over AFC Wimbledon - as he felt they could have scored more and had a greater winning margin.
Wanderers took the lead in the first half thanks to Jon Dadi Bodvarsson's header as he scored his first goal for Bolton.
Dapo Afolayan then added a second after the break, before Dion Charles clinically finished to put Wanderers three goals to the good.

And Amadou Bakayoko came off the bench to net Bolton's fourth as Wanderers narrowed their gap to the play-offs to seven points, thanks to results elsewhere on the day going their way.
Wanderers scored three times after the break to build on Bodvarsson's opener, but had several other opportunities to score in the second half against an AFC Wimbledon side which struggled to contain their advances.
Evatt admits he always wants more from games and accepts he was frustrated Wanderers did not score more in the second half and he was 'a bit underwhelmed' by the showing, but belives it is exciting to think there is more to come from this group of players.
Evatt said: "There is more to come and I am frustrated a bit today in the second half. I’m a bit underwhelmed and it shows you where we’re at when we’ve won 4-0 at home and I feel like we could have been better there, we could have done better and we could have scored more.
“But I have high expectations, high standards and the players will live up to that. There’s lots of work to be done and it’s still a very new team.”
Wanderers had four different scorers on the score sheet as several players impressed with Wanderers returning to winning ways following the midweek loss against Burton Albion.
A big feature of the win was the link-up play between Marlon Fossey and Gethin Jones on the right flanks which Evatt feels the system they are employing help to thrive, and he feels that the same is the case on the opposite flank with George Johnston and Declan John.
Evatt said: “It’s really pleasing. I thought there were some really good performances out there today. I thought Jon is getting fitter and sharper all the time.
"Dion’s just Dion, he’s brilliant for us and Demps (Kyle Dempsey), it’s great to have him showing everybody what he can do. Aaron Morley came back, we could go on and on. I also thought Kieran Sadlier when he came on really made us tick and play, and young George (Thomason) to be patient enough and then come on the pitch and show everyone else what he can do.
“We’ve got a really good squad. It’s tough to keep everybody involved but they have to keep buying into it. Their frustrations, they have to aim towards me, as long as they stick together and keep supporting each other, it will only bode well for us for the rest of the season.
“I think it’s something in this system that we can keep improving on. We’ve highlighted that overload and that combination can really work well and I think it does the other way.
"I think George Johnston is getting it and getting to grips with it really well. Time on the training pitch is hard at the moment because of the nature of the fixtures but lots of video analysis, lots of visual learning and they’re really grasping what we’re wanting them to do.
“The exciting thing for me is when we do get them on the grass and we starting adding and layering in more detail, we’re only going to get better which is great for everybody really.”
