Promising from the youngsters who were given a chance
Ian Evatt said in the run-up to the game against Shrewsbury Town that he would be giving opportunities to Wanderers' younger players to showcase their talents and give him food for thought ahead of Saturday's League Two clash against Grimsby Town.
The trio of Ronan Darcy, Adam Senior and Finlay Lockett started in Shropshire, and were later joined on the pitch by Regan Riley who was thrust into the action following Tom White's injury in the first half after a heavy challenge by Josh Vela.
And the youngsters on show gave an encouraging display against the League One side.
Senior was arguably Wanderers' best central defender on the pitch throughout the game and capped off the display with his first goal for the club with a close range header.
Riley may have given possession away Salop's second goal which eventually proved to be the winner, but was energetic and positive in central midfield aside from that error, which Evatt accepted can happen.
Lockett operated through the middle of a three-pronged attack and worked hard, despite not having any real opportunities of note to showcase his finishing.
There have been calls for Darcy to be given more game time among sections of the Wanderers fans and he was granted that opportunity against Salop.
And there was some positive balls from the Wanderers prospect, and he delivered the free kick which lead to Senior's goal.
There was also Max Conway, Matt Tweedley and 15-year-old Kian Le Fondre - second cousin of former Wanderers striker Adam Le Fondre - on the bench.
Encouraging performance against a League One side
Evatt made a total of nine changes for the match against Salop, with only Billy Crellin and Ryan Delaney keeping their places from the side which beat Harrogate Town over the weekend.
League One Salop, by contrast, made just four changes from the side which drew against Gillingham at Montgomery Waters Meadow on Saturday.
Despite many recognised first team players starting for Wanderers, whenever such a high number of changes are made, allied to younger players with less experience starting, it might be expected that the team in the higher division will come out on top.
And though Salop eventually triumphed, the scoreline does not tell the full story of the encounter and how close Wanderers came to getting something out of it.
White missed a first half penalty and before that, Arthur Gnahoua could have given Bolton an instant response to going behind.
A flurry of second half chances were also not taken by Wanderers and the two goals conceded were ultimately avoidable errors.
It was encouraging performance against an established League One side for a much changed Bolton team and confidence ought to be taken from that.
Another new formation on show
Another new formation appeared to be on show for Bolton against Sam Ricketts' side.
Wanderers head coach Evatt had used either a 3-4-1-2 or a 4-2-3-1 formation in the competitive matches played so far this season.
But against Shrewsbury, another new set-up was tried out with a 3-4-3 deployed.
George Taft, Senior and Delaney lined up in central defence, with Jak Hickman and Liam Gordon on the flanks.
Brandon Comley lined up alongside White in central midfield.
But in attack, Darcy did not line up in the number 10 role but on the left of a front three, with Lockett through the middle and Gnahoua on the right.
It was a formation that appeared to bear fruit on the pitch with those players involved, and could be another system Evatt turns to in the future.

He was a thorn in the Labour Party's side for decades - then he joined them.
Tributes were today paid to Norman Owen, the former leader of Salford's Liberal Democrats, who has died.
Born and bred in the city, he once had a punch up in a town hall corridor and secretly helped out a Busby Babe who had fallen on hard times.
Known as "Stormin Norman" for his brash, get things done attitude, he was behind an astonishing rise of the Lib Dems in a city which is a socialist stronghold.
Always sharply dressed in a suit and tie he stuck to his roots - enjoying a pint in The Union pub on Liverpool Street and The Chandos Club, near his home in Weaste.
At his peak in opposition he was in charge of ten Lib Dem councillors in 2008/09, the largest number the party ever achieved.
But he never forgave Nick Clegg for failing to come to Salford to back him as he pushed for a shock victory over Hazel Blears in the General Election of 2010.
He gained 11,000 votes as Blears' voted dropped by 15 per cent, but it was not enough to get him to Westminster.
In 2015 he joined Labour in disgust at his previous party getting in bed with the Tories. He told the M.E.N: "The Liberal Democrats have abdicated their social conscience for a taste of power."
Mr Owen had lost his Claremont ward council seat in 2012 to Labour and again lost out to Ian Stewart in a contest to be the city’s first elected mayor in the same year.
He joined the Salford and Eccles Constituency Labour Party and threw himself into canvassing for the party.
His hope was that he would be rewarded with a safe Labour ward which would open the door for him back into the council.
But some members of the Labour Party could not forgive him for his brutal attacks on Labour when in charge of the Lib Dems.
And instead of an inner-city ward to fight, he was given true blue Worsley - where he put up a sterling effort, but inevitably lost to the Conservatives.
Mr Owen, who joined the SDP before becoming a founding member of the Liberal Democrats in Salford, stood eleven times before being elected in 1999.
He get into politics after his own social conscience was pricked by seeing abject poverty in Africa where he worked for a while as an engineer.
After switching to Labour he said: “I joined the Labour party because my social conscience will not let me see this country, or this city, suffer under this coalition. (Liberal/Tory).
“They want to clear the deficit in one fell swoop and it won’t work.”

As a councillor he was also notorious for demanding action from town hall officers.
Even after losing his seat the residents of Seedley and Weaste, near where he lived, would still turn to him for help.
In an email to councillors City Mayor, Paul Dennett, says: "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Norman Owen has sadly passed away at the weekend.

Dimitar Berbatov has hit out at Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero and his wife in the wake of events on transfer deadline day .
Romero was linked with a move to Everton but the Toffees ended up moving for Roma 's Robin Olsen instead .
Before the Olsen deal was done , Romero 's wife Eliana Guercio took a swipe at United on Instragram .

It suggests the increase in cases is still marked but has slowed - it had been doubling every week.
The number of infections has doubled in a week in Stockport.
Stockport and seven other boroughs saw their infection rates rise, although they remain broadly half the figure in Manchester, which has a large student population.
Only Bolton, which has been subject to local lockdown restrictions for a longer period, has arrested the sharp increases seen elsewhere, registering 255.3 people with coronavirus for the week concerned for every 100,000 in the area.
Bolton saw 734 positive cases in the week to October 4, a small rise of just 32 compared to the previous week.
Like Manchester, the other boroughs have seen their infection rate increase: Rochdale, 324.6; Salford 304,8; Bury, 281.7; Oldham, 278.8; Trafford, 259.1; Wigan, 257.1; Tameside, 239.7; Stockport, 215.1.

Stockport's alarming increase in cases continues, with 631 positive tests recorded in seven days.
It represents a rise of 97 per cent.
The figures suggest the disease was spreading faster in Stockport than anywhere else in Greater Manchester last week.
Trafford saw an 85 per cent increase in cases, registering 615 cases.
Rochdale registered 722 cases during the week, a rise of 60 per cent compared to the week before.
There were 789 cases in Salford, a rise of 56 per cent, while cases in Tameside rose by 37 per cent to 543.
Greater Manchester overall saw 9,072 cases, a rise of 38 per cent.
All ten boroughs remain in the 'red zone' where PHE requires local intervention.
The average infection rate for England was 117.4.
Although the number of cases is rising steeply across much of the country, there is now much more testing than at the height of the first wave of the pandemic in April and May.
Then, only people in hospitals were being tested.

Cavani arrived in Manchester on Sunday to undergo his medical but will now serve 14 days in self-isolation in accordance with government guidelines.

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe has admitted it 's been tough to be on the sidelines for so long but is happy to finally be back in training .

“ Most definitely , ” he told United 's official website when asked if it 's been difficult .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other lads progressing , the games being played , just counting the amount of games you ’ re missing and getting messages left , right and centre , asking when you ’ re coming back and stuff .
It ’ s tough in that respect , but I ’ ve had good people around me who have kept me going , [ who ] motivate me every day , and I motivate myself to know that there ’ s light at the end of the tunnel .
“ [ I 'd like to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and S and C [ strength and conditioning ] guys .
