James Trafford - 7.5
Made superb early stop from Barry Baggley's header but could do little to stop opening goal. A few astray passes after conceding towards end of first half. Solid after the break and Wanderers fans chanted 'we want you to stay' in final game of Manchester City loan spell.
Gethin Jones - 7.5
Put in ball for Bakayoko which led to equaliser in the first half and great defensive and dependable performance from skipper in final game of the season.
Will Aimson - 7.5
Rarely put a foot wrong in the middle of the back three, being a calming influence in the heart of defence and distribution appears to be improving from that position.
George Johnston - 7
Got forward well throughout the encounter but beaten for first goal as Baggley tapped ball past him. Generally solid performance otherwise.
Kieran Sadlier - 6
Got forward at right-wing back but struggled to make a great deal of impact with crosses on this occasion. Taken off on 65 minutes for Kachunga.
Aaron Morley - 8
As ever, some lovely passing in the middle of the park from the former Rochdale man, who is increasingly looking like quite a find from the January transfer window.
George Thomason - 7.5
Replaced injured MJ Williams in the middle of the park. A few astray passes early on in the game but grew into encounter and some fantastic work particularly after the break.
Declan John - 8
Got forward well to support attacks down the left flank to cause problems for the Cod Army. This was typified with his goal to cut inside and finish low past Alex Cairns for his fifth of the season.
Dapo Afolayan - 7.5
One of the brighter Bolton attacking threats in the first half in the number 10 role with license to roam. Overall a solid final appearance of the season and
