Ratings: Sevens almost across the board from Barnsley players at Bolton Wanderers - but with one five

HERE are the Barnsley FC player ratings from Saturday afternoon’s League One play-off semi-final first leg at Bolton Wanderers.

Isted: Landed awkwardly towards the end of the opening half, but no harm done thankfully. More harm with the concession which enabled Bolton to level. Rare blemish from a class act. 5

B Thomas: Went close to scoring and kept Williams quiet, apart from once. 7

Andersen: A reassuring name in the Reds’ line-up. Brilliant late block denied Nlundulu 7

Kitching: Handily placed to block a goalbound shot from Johnston in first-half. Solid and hearty. 7

Williams: Popped up in some half-decent positions in the final third. Did not get tight enough to Williams for hosts leveller. 6

Phillips: Not far away with a first-half screamer. 7

Connell: Received a few early jeers from fans of his former club. Steady performance. 7

Kane: Ticked Barnsley over nicely enough. 7
