WANDERERS (4-2-3-1)
TEDDY SHARMAN-LOWE…6.5.
Produced a couple of good saves in the second half to make sure the clean sheet was preserved and kept trying to move things forward at pace when he got ball in hand.
JOSH DACRES-COGLEY…6.5.
Put Dacres-Cogley through for his goal and spent the vast majority of his game pushed forward in support of the winger. Solid shift.
CHIRS FORINO…7.
Built on an excellent midweek performance and now gives his manager a real headache for Leyton Orient, with Eoin Toal also due back in the camp.
GEORGE JOHNSTON…7.
Steven Schumacher said his confidence was not affected by an off-day at Blackpool – and despite the scoreline, Johnston had plenty of work on marshalling Matty Stevens.
MAX CONWAY…8.
Loads to admire about the youngster at the moment. Defensively, he was really strong, and each time he picked up the ball he drove at defenders. Top class.
XAVIER SIMONS…6.5.
Brought one great save out of Bishop with a shot from the edge of the box and otherwise knitted things together in the unfussy way we have started to expect.
AARON MORLEY…7.
Dropped back into a deeper role and assumed responsibility for moving the team around the pitch. Set pieces were on point, and created plenty of chances.
AMARIO COZIER-DUBERRY…7.
Took a little time to feel his way into the game and once he did, Seddon could get nowhere near him. Such a silky finish for the second goal.
JOEL RANDALL…6.5.
Had a five-minute spell in the first half where a few passes went astray, which riled up part of the crowd, but then turned on the class. Another strong performance.
THIERRY GALE…7.
Jet engines in those boots. Gale made life so difficult for Asiimwe on the left and might have helped himself to a goal on another day.
MASON BURSTOW…7.
On the spot where Wanderers needed him for the opening goal and causing a nuisance all game. We just hope that hamstring issue is not anything serious.
Subs: Dalby 6, 56 (for Burstow) – Went mighty close to getting himself a first goal.
Forss 6, 66 (for Randall) – Never quite know where he is going to pop up next!
Taylor 78 (for Conway), Cissoko 78 (for Gale), McAtee 78 (for Cozier-Duberry).
Not used: Miller, Erhahon.
Wimbledon (5-4-1) – Bishop; Asiimwe, Reeves, Ogundere, Lewis, Harbottle, Seddon; Browne, Smith, Reeves, Hippolyte; Stevens.
Subs: Bugiel 67 (for Stevens), Hackford 67 (for Hippolyte), Sasu 67 (for Harbottle), Bauer 88 (for Asiimwe), Maycock 88 (for Smith)
Not used: McDonnell, Orsi.
Referee: Darren Drysdale 6/10 – Didn’t have a great start to the game and pulled play back for a foul at one stage when there was a clear advantage. He set his stall out early, though, in what became a niggly game. Lots of free kicks and two red cards, the second of which felt a little bit unnecessary.

MAN OF THE MATCH – Max Conway
Such an impressive start to the season for the 22-year-old, and this might be his most complete performance yet. Gave nothing away at the back, showing good positional sense, and also took responsibility for plenty of possession, driving forward at every opportunity.
Had a big hand in the third goal for Randall and has the ability to dance past challenges and draw fouls in a way we haven’t seen from a left-back in ages.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
It should have been a real rout. At 3-0 with half an hour to play against 10 men, which would eventually become nine, you would have backed Bolton to score a few more. They huffed and puffed but seemed to lose a spot of composure.
MAGIC MOMENT
Cozier-Duberry supplied some marvellous skill on the ball, including one turn in the penalty box to leave Lewis standing. His goal was pure silk, scoring from a difficult angle but making it look like second nature.
ATMOSPHERE
Mostly celebratory. After a frustrated feel to the match in the opening half hour it was clear which was it was going to go. Wimbledon’s small band of fans supplied some gallows humour but it was routine stuff if you were supporting the Whites.
