9. Archie Davies - 6
Battled well but was unable to cope with Bolton’s tempo as they pushed forward down the left. Beaten far too easily as the visitors added a third shortly after the interval. Subbed with twenty to go. Photo: Jamie Evans/UK Sports Images Ltd
10. Nick Tsaroulla - 6
Acres of space wide left, and used his pace and skill to burst forward. Looked good when dribbling at the Bolton defence, but was given little chance to show his quality given how dominant the visitors were. Photo: Simon Dack/Telephoto Images
11. Ashley Nadesan - 6
Isolated upfront without partner-in-crime Tom Nichols, who is completing a three-game suspension. Lacked service, and it only got worse when Crawley went down to ten men. Looked frustrated throughout. Photo: Steve Robards
12. Davide Rodari - 6.5
Subbed on a half-time for McNerney and showed a few good touches but looks a bit short on the physicality required at this level. Good finish late on for his first Reds goal. Photo: Jamie Evans/UK Sports Images Ltd
