The second defeat in a week at the University of Portsmouth Stadium was fully deserved, turning in an even more dreadful display than Tuesday night in the Papa Johns Trophy.
Plenty of shocking Pompey displays – and here are our player ratings...

2. Josh Oluwayemi - 6
Handed his Football League debut yet perhaps one to forget after dropping Dempsey’s cross for Bolton’s second. Shame as dealt with other shots well, particularly second-half save from Dan Nlundulu. Photo: National World
3. Michael Morrison - 5
(Replaced by Ryley Towler on 66 mins. Defended solidly enough and can never be faulted for effort, but still part of an awful team display. Photo: NationalWorld
4. Sean Raggett - 4
Nowhere near last season’s form and played Charles onside for Bolton’s opener. How Blues desperately need him back to his best to turn this around. Photo: NationalWorld
