WANDERERS (3-4-1-2).
NATHAN BAXTER…6.5.
A relatively quiet afternoon on what should, by rights, have been the day he and his defence claimed the clean sheet record. Only one thing to do… Start afresh and do it again.
WILL FORRESTER…7.
Worked well with Jones early on and tried to push forward to make the extra man on the right side. Really hasn’t done much wrong in a Bolton shirt so far.
RICARDO SANTOS…7.
Flexed his muscles a few times but very rarely troubled by March and Co in the Harrogate attack. A pretty standard day at the office for the captain.
JACK IREDALE…7.
Coped pretty comfortably with what Harrogate threw forward and tried to support Williams and Co in attack. All very straightforward in the end.
GETHIN JONES…6.5.
Had been one of the main drivers in the early stages but guilty of over-playing on the edge of his own box for the Harrogate goal, which loses him a mark.
AARON MORLEY…7.
Always looking to make something happen on the ball. Set pieces were not as sharp as usual but played a big part in Nlundulu’s first goal and looked sharp.
CARLOS MENDES GOMES…6.5.
His shot led to the third goal and he never stopped trying to get on the ball. Right back in the mix for a League One place again.
RANDELL WILLIAMS…6.
Felt a little bit off the pace at times before being replaced by Ashworth. Perhaps still feeling his way back from the injury which kept him out for the last couple of games.
KYLE DEMPSEY…7.
Some really positive work on and off the ball for the first hour and a great ball for Nlundulu to score his second of the day. How great to see him back after injury.
JON DADI BODVARSSON…9.
Couldn’t really do much more than grab a hat-trick in 45 minutes and create a few other big chances. Looking back to his best and not a soul in the stadium would deny him his moment.
DAN NLUNDULU…8.5.
Physically, Harrogate simply couldn’t cope with him at times. Unselfish on the ball in the first half, clinical at the start of the second half. A real step forward for the young striker.
Subs: Ashworth 6, 66 (for Williams) – Welcome return from injury for the youngster.
Adeboyejo 6, 66 (for Bodvarsson) – Brought one good save out of the Town keeper.
Charles 76 (for Nlundulu), Maghoma 76 (for Dempsey), Sheehan 76 (for Gomes).
Not used: Coleman, Thomason,, Dacres-Cogley, Toal.

Referee: Tony Harrington 7/10 – Pretty simple game for him to officiate. Straightforward yellow cards, nothing especially controversial, and allowed play to flow. No problems at all.
Attendance: 5,703.
