How Barnsley FC players rated at Bolton Wanderers
Walton: Made one important first-half save to grasp Johnston's effort. Will have been relieved it was straight at him. Had to keep his concentration as Bolton pressed late on and made a key save at the death to thwart Sheehan. 6
Moon: Up against an experienced operator in Delfouneso and kept him relatively quiet and stuck to his guns. Booked. 6

Hide AdHelik: Made one important saving first-half challenge and looked in control of the situation and exactly what he is. A defensive leader and Barnsley leaned him. 8
Halme: Had to be alert on the night, with Bolton posting some pockets of danger down the right. 6
Miller: Well up for it at his hometown club in his first Reds start - in an unfamiliar right-wing role. Tons of effort and one great cross for an early chance for Adeboyejo. Some other deliveries were mixed, but plenty to enthuse about as well. 7
Benson: Clearly has an eye for a pass. Not everything came off, but produced some nice cultured stuff at times. Has something about him. Booked. 7

Hide AdStyles: Some nice touches, but could not grab the game by the scruff of the neck. 6
J Williams: His excellent early centre should have been dispatched by Oduor. Trademark energy and defended well. 7
Adeboyejo: Planted a great early chance straight at Dixon and lacked composure with another first-half opportunity. Could do with a goal. 5
Woodrow: Produced some intelligent movement and was involved a fair bit in linking play. Helped out defensively and the captain's armband looks to sit well with him, although was not majorly involved where he can hurt teams. 6

Hide AdOduor: Handed an advanced role in the forward line and should have put Barnsley ahead early on and blazed over a decent second-hall chance. Will be better for the outing at least. 6
Substitutes: Thompson (Adeboyejo 56). A bit raw, but clearly a real speedster. Drew one booking from a Bolton player. 6
Cole (Woodrow 60). Handed his 'second' Reds debut from the bench. Had one opportunity which he put straight at Dixon and missed the key penalty in the shoot-out. 6
Kane (Styles 60). Another who be better for the outing and had to be alert as Bolton went for it late on. Booked. 6
Not used: Collins, Sibbick, Frieser, Sraha.
