Bolton Wanderers started the League One season over the weekend with a good point on the road against Ipswich Town.
Bolton took the lead after 25 minutes when Leif Davis bundled over Conor Bradley in the box for a penalty. Aaron Morley stepped up to coolly slot home from the spot.
But the Tractor Boys equalised before half-time when Conor Chaplin's corner was met by Lee Evans to tuck home an effort which Wanderers ought to have defended better. The hosts were on top after the break but Wanderers rode out periods of pressure to secure a good point on the road against one of the division's top sides.

In the second half at Portman Road, Manchester City loanee James Trafford was called into action to keep the score level and ensure the spoils would be shared. He made a fantastic stop from Evans before denying Sam Morsy's shot deep into second half injury time.
And thanks to his performance at Portman Road, Trafford has been named in the opening League One team of the week. He is the only Wanderers player named in the starting XI.
In the back four, Wycombe Wanderers pair David Wheeler and Joe Jacobson are the full backs. Former Bolton defender Ryan Delaney, now at Morecambe, makes the side, as does Port Vale's Connor Hall.
In central midfield, Tom Dele-Bashiru of Sheffield Wednesday makes the team. He is joined by Josh Scowen of Wycombe and Regan Hendry of Forest Green Rovers.
And upfront, Peterborough United duo Jonson Clarke-Harris and Joe Ward are included in the front three. Wycombe's Anis Mehmeti completes the team, while Posh boss Grant McCann is the manager of the side.
