Wanderers duo George Johnston and Conor Bradley have been named in the League One Team of the Week.

The pair impressed during the 2-0 win against Exeter City at the weekend as the Whites maintained their spot in the play-off places heading into the busy Christmas period.

Bradley opened the scoring after just eight minutes with a clinical finish from inside the box – his fifth goal of the campaign.

The Northern Ireland international continues to impress since joining on loan from Liverpool for the season.

Johnston played a key role as the Bolton defence kept the visitors at bay, finishing with the captain’s armband after Kieran Lee was taken off.

The centre-back has been a consistent performer this season and stepped up while Ricardo Santos and Gethin Jones were both absent from the squad.

Connor Ripley gets the nod in goal after impressing in Morecambe’s 2-1 defeat against leaders Plymouth.

MK Dons’ Jack Tucker and Derby’s Craig Forsyth are also included in the backline alongside Bradley and Johnston.

The midfield is made up of Plymouth pair Joe Edwards and Bali Mumba, as well as Wycombe’s Josh Scowen and Charlton’s Scott Fraser.

Derby’s David McGoldrick and Barnsley’s Devante Cole get the nod up front after scoring five goals between them over the weekend.

Meanwhile, MK Dons interim boss Dean Lewington is also included after overseeing a 2-0 victory at Portsmouth.

The team is decided based on ratings from whoscored.com, which are determined based on a wide range of in-game data.

Saturday’s result leaves Wanderers fifth in the table ahead of their home fixture against Derby on Tuesday, December 27 in front of the TV cameras.

The Whites also have matches against Barnsley, Plymouth and Portsmouth coming up before the end of January as they aim to build on last season's ninth-place finish.

League One Team of the Week: Ripley, Bradley, Johnston, Tucker, Forsyth, Edwards, Scowen, Fraser, Mumba, McGoldrick, Cole. Manager: Dean Lewington
