Watched Bolton 0-1 Stockport County today, here’s a few players I thought were standouts:
—Jordi Osei-Tutu (LB—26 y/o); thought he was Bolton’s best player, he played high on the last line as the width holder, his off ball movement, pace and final ball created pretty much every decent chance they had. Tidy on the ball, very street smart, uses his body well to get between players.
—Corey Addai (GK—27 y/o); watched him a lot at Crawley and was very hit and miss but, his size and athleticism was so useful in this one, claimed a few balls, an absolutely crucial one from the final corner. Made himself big and rushed well off his line for two 1v1s.
—Ethan Pye (CB—22 y/o); another one I’ve caught a few times but he’s developed so well from my last watch, comfortable on the ball, commands his box well, very confident in his duel winning, looks to dominate in the channels too which was a massive plus. Stepped in with the press smoothly.
—Issac Olaofe (CF—25 y/o); everything you want in a channel running striker, he was a nuisance all day, tireless work ethic, Antonio-like speed in the channels, his goal was outstanding and even if he isn’t always consistent in his duelling, he never stops. Very similar to Sinclair Armstrong, that type of battering ram in the channels.
Pretty meh game, I thought Bolton shown a lot of Ian Evatt-like characteristics—persistence in constantly playing the ball round the block & the lack of movement in set possession. Stockport weren’t great but they didn’t need to be, defended the box, targeted the space and managed moments well. That’s all they needed to do especially after Olaofe’s goal.
