Bolton Wanderers - Joe Williams played full match in 2-1 home win over Rotherham United
OS Match Report
"Wanderers went agonizingly close yet again soon after, with a Andrew Taylor cross coming out to Joe Williams, who fakes past his man and unleashed a powerful drive on the Millers goal. The Everton loanee had Rodak beaten, but a Semi Ajayi clearance off the line saw the game remain 1-1."

Fan comments
"Lowe at right back, then left back after Taylor went off after 65mins, played really well, as did Williams who was brave enough to get on the ball and keep possession even if his final pass or shot didn't always find the target."
"Good spells from Williams as well."
"Williams had a ten minute spell when he forgot that he's trying to show us he can be a prem midfielder...in that spell he looked really good. Chasing, tackling, running"

20' Pennington comes close for Town as he met Ward's corner at the near-post and narrowly misses the target. [0-0]
37' Pennington meets another Ward corner, but his header is over the bar. [2-0]
Fan comments
"Those that rate Pennington, why? Lost his man on the free kick and didn't bother trying to stop the cut back for the third. To be fair all the goals were horrific but he is regularly directly to blame for goals conceded and yet some fans rate him?"
"Honestly without him we’d concede more. That’s the depressing thing, he’s the benchmark for a good defender right now."
Wigan Athletic - Callum Connolly played full match and was booked in 0-2 away defeat at West Bromwich Albion
OS Match Report
"Full back Reece James tested Sam Johnstone shortly after when he forced the former Manchester United goalkeeper into a dangerous parry, but Johnstone was saved his blushes by a recovering defender as Connolly attempted to reach the loose ball in the box."
Twitter stuff
17' Yellow. Callum Connolly into the book, aerial challenge with Gareth Barry who came clattering down. (1-0)
58' Chance! @reecejames69's delivery met by @Callum1connolly, but his glancing header is held by Johnstone. (1-0)
Fan comments
"Connolly is just on a hiding to nothing - he was a right back, now he's being played as a centre mid, he's not got the ability to play there, he doesn't adjust well enough."
"Connolly was booked for a nothing challenge then spends the rest of the game afraid to put his foot in for fear of being sent off. He should have been subbed at half-time."
Antonee Robinson was not in matchday squad (injury).
