Stokes steps in against Torquay

The Bolton defender has joined on loan until April 11 and will provide cover at left-back for Matt Tootle and Carl Martin.Academy product Tootle will be assessed after being forced off with a dead leg just before half-time in the midweek victory over Grimsby.He was replaced by Martin, who is unable to deputise as he was subsequently sent off against the Mariners and begins a three-match suspension.Stokes' arrival means Ashley Westwood, who was another option at left-back, can stay in central midfield.Leading scorer Calvin Zola could make his long-awaited return from the hamstring problems that has sidelined him for the past month.
