Ian Evatt believes the Bolton Wanderers strikeforce had not become poor overnight as he backed them to hit form after finding their shooting boots again in the win over Leeds United's under-21s.
Evatt made eight changes from the side which drew against Barnsley over the weekend for the Papa John's Trophy clash. It was one of the three players he kept faith in, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, who put the Whites ahead in the first half as he turned home a cross from the returning Lloyd Isgrove.
Wanderers doubled their lead after the break when Amadou Bakayoko fired home from close range following Conor Bradley's shot being saved by Joel Robles. Kieran Sadlier added a third before full-time to put the 3-0 victory beyond doubt.
