Huddersfield boss Michael Duff hailed his side’s “complete performance” as they won 4-0 at Wanderers.
Josh Koroma bagged a brace either side of half time, with Ben Wiles and Anthony Evans also getting on the scoresheet.
“I thought we were excellent,” said Duff. “We have been asking for a complete performance and that is probably as close as you will get, definitely the closest we have had from minute one.
“They are a strong team and I thought probably up until the first goal, it was nip and tuck. We had the better of it but without either side being dominant.
“We took over second half and looked really solid defensively, moved the ball, scored different types of goals.
“Overall, you are always going to be pleased with 4-0 at Bolton but I thought we thoroughly deserved it.”
Duff was pleased that his side didn’t sit back after going a couple of goals ahead and instead kept looking to score more.
“I think Anthony Evans’ goal tells you everything,” he added. “We are winning the game and have four or five men in their penalty area because they are still trying to play out.
“What we don’t want is we go a couple of goals up, just sit on the edge of our box and hope to survive.
“I don’t think we did that against Rotherham but, subliminally, that is what we did and we spent the whole game defending.
“You end up losing anyway so you might as well get on the front foot, get them as far away from our goal as possible with the way we crunch the pitch.”
The Huddersfield chief had to watch the action from the stands while serving a touchline ban.
“You just have to deal with certain things. During the season, you get ups and downs, things go for you and things don’t,” he said.
“I didn’t enjoy it but they will probably keep me up there now! Pato (Martin Paterson) has walked off the pitch and he can’t speak.
“You are a bit more emotionless when you are watching it in the stands, a bit more clinical.
“Part of the job on the sidelines is encouraging, telling people when to press and things like that. I didn’t have to do that today, thankfully.”
