Conor Bradley and Jack Iredale were 'superb' against Charlton Athletic for Bolton Wanderers and the Addicks could not cope with the duo.
That's the view of former West Ham United, Norwich City and Crewe Alexandra striker Dean Ashton. Wanderers came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over the Addicks.
Scott Fraser put the hosts into the lead early on after capitalising on George Johnston's error. But Bradley struck not long after to put Bolton back on level terms.

The Whites went ahead before the break when Kieran Lee found the net. After half-time, Johnston helped to atone for his earlier error to score Bolton's third.
Wanderers also had to call upon James Trafford to contain the visitors, denying Jesurn Rak-Sakyi on a couple of occasions as they won 3-1. The win sees Bolton sitting eighth in the table on 11 points.
And speaking on the EFL highlights show on ITV4, former West Ham and England striker Ashton believes the wing-backs of Bradley and Iredale were the main sources of problems for Charlton. He felt the Addicks could not cope with their quality.
Ashton said: "17 shots conceded, they couldn't cope with Conor Bradley and Jack Iredale, wing-backs who were absolutely superb. Joint most chances created, four each, and the two centre backs I thought looked suspect when isolated when Charlton's full-backs went.
"I think it's something that needs to certainly be looked at, but I think if you were as open as they were against Bolton, then they will punish you."
