Player ratings: How Wanderers fared in the 2-2 draw against Cambridge United
WANDERERS (3-5-2).
LUKE SOUTHWOOD…5.
Flapped a bit at Kachunga’s header in the lead-up to Cambridge’s first goal and spent most of the game playing sweeper.
GETHIN JONES…4.5.
Lost the run of Stokes for Cambridge’s second goal and didn’t look especially comfortable on the ball all day.
RICARDO SANTOS…3.5.
If injured, then it was a big risk to start him, and one that didn’t pay off. Immediately clear that he was not running on a full tank.
GEORGE JOHNSTON…5.5.
Tidier in possession than most and though he skied a decent chance in the first half he was the pick of the bunch at the back.
JOSH DACRES-COGLEY…4.
Slow to react in the penalty box on a couple of occasions and though he found some space in the first half, he didn’t do enough with the ball.
AARON MORLEY…5.
More influential once they had gone to a narrow midfield in the second half. Set pieces weren’t quite up to scratch.
JOEL RANDALL…5.
Showed a couple of clever touches around the penalty area and involved in the first equaliser but faded a bit second half.
GEORGE THOMASON…5.
Kept going, and produced the cross that eventually found its way into the net. Quality wasn’t always there but the effort was appreciated.
SZABI SCHON…6.
Got into some good positions and with some better finishing might have made this a much more comfortable afternoon for Bolton.
AARON COLLINS…5.
Put a couple of decent efforts on target and got himself involved – but so much of it was outside the penalty box where Cambridge were comfortable.
JOHN MCATEE…5.
Lost Kachunga at the set piece for the opening goal but did finish a good move for the equaliser. Like Collins, did most of his work outside the box.
Subs: Forrester 6, 46 (for Santos) – Solid second half.
Osei-Tutu 6, 59 (for Dacres-Cogley) – Looked lively on the right.
Adeboyejo 4, 70 (for McAtee) – Struggled to get into the game at all.
Lolos 5, 70 (for Randall) – One quality moment nearly paid off.
Sheehan 75 (for Jones) – Great to see him back.
Not used: Matete, Baxter.
Cambridge United (3-4-2-1): Marosi; Rossi, Watts, Andrew; Bennett, Cousins, Brophy, Barton; Stokes, Kachunga; Loft.
Subs: Njoku 65 (for Loft), Longelo 78 (for Kachunga).
Not used: Hoddle, Holmes, Munday, McConnell, Stevens.
Referee: Ton Nield – 7/10: Nothing to complain about from the officials, who had a relatively comfortable day and nipped any problems in the bud with a few words of warning before the cards came out, which is always good to see.
Attendance: 19,946.
MAN OF THE MATCH – Szabi Schon.
Not perfect, by any stretch, but had a willingness to attack, get on the ball, and get into the penalty box. His shooting could have been better but the Hungarian did at least give Cambridge something different to think about.
MOAN OF THE MATCH – After equalising, the defending for Kachunga’s goal was dreadful all the way from the source of the cross to Santos’s cumbersome attempt to clear.
MAGIC MOMENT – Sheehan’s return is a huge boost, and the possibility of a 4-4-2 diamond with him, Morley, Thomason and Randall is an intriguing thought.
ATMOSPHERE – Turned ugly, as you’d expect after defending like that in the first half. Apathetic at times, toxic in others. Not a happy camp at the moment.
