Lyngby 6 Wanderers 0

A player not thought good enough to enhance Bolton's team and later rejected by Coventry City stood head and shoulders above Sam Allardyce's Foreign Legion of contract seekers during this slaughter in the sun.

And considering he was the smallest man of the pitch that said everything about Martin Johansen's performance.

The twin brother of ex-Wanderers favourite Michael Johansen, Martin ran the Wanderers ragged, especially in the first half when virtually everything he touched turned into a goal.

"It just shows how poor we are without the players left behind in England," said assistant manager Phil Brown.

"I don't think our trialists were physically up to it," added Brown. "These Lyngby lads towered above us. They were quicker and a lot fitter.

"Take Martin for example. He came to train with us for a week but he was nothing compared to the team we had at the time.

"Yet he comes out today and looked so motivated to win the game. And that showed how they performed.

"We've invited players from all over the world to have a look at and so far I've got to say we are drawing a blank. And I was quite optimistic when I first came over here that we might pick up one or two from the seven or so we invited over."

Matthias Hagner arrived from Borussia Munchengladbach with a big reputation but brought little inspiration to the display.

Scottish Under 21 marksman David Graham, who missed the Brondby game through injury, didn't shine either though he was given only 45 minutes.

Ian Woan was ineffective in midfield and striker Alphonse Tchami had his best game for Bolton in a brief appearance during John McGinlay's testimonial last May.

While Lyngby skipper Johansen didn't score as six goals flew past Steve Banks and Matthew Glennon at regular intervals, he was a constant menace with his precision from dead ball situations and his astute passes to willing team-mates.

However, Johansen wasn't alone in impressing the vocal home supporters. Nigerian Ayeni Bosun, Danish Under 21 international Kim Christiansen and record signing Bradley August regularly took it in turns to make telling contributions to this one-sided game.

It's so far been a tour to forget for youngster Kevin Nolan. He was at fault for Brondby's two goals in the 2-1 defeat last Wednesday and it was his trip on Christiansen that allowed Mikkel Bo Jensen to begin the onslaught with a 15th minute penalty.

But this defeat was down to collective responsibility not individual errors. Indeed, Nolan looked Bolton's most dangerous attacker and it was his header in the last minute, cleared off the line, that brought about the visitors' best chance of avoiding a whitewash.

In between, Lyngby controlled the game at will. For the second goal, after 20 minutes Bosun outstripped Jimmy Phillips before finishing with a shot taken with the outside of his right foot.

Johansen's cross in the 27th minute picked out the unmarked Nichlas Hindsberg and his header, off an upright, made it 3-0.

Christiansen might have made it 4-0 moments later from a Johansen pass but this time Steve Banks was able to save.

He was picking the ball out of his net again in the 35th minute as Bosun and Hindsberg scythed through the Bolton defence to provide a scoring opportunity, expertly converted by Christensen.

Manager Sam Allardyce brought on five substitutes at half-time but he may well have played with 16 players such was the one-sided nature of the game.

At least, Bolton conceded only two further goals after the break. Tobias Grahn beat the off-side trap to complete the nap hand after 62 minutes with another Lyngby replacement, Mads Junker, notching the sixth 15 minutes from time.
