    S5 E163 Now We Need Points

    Another tough week for Bolton Wanderers — and once again the performances have arguably deserved more than the points tally suggests. In Episode 163, we look back at the latest defeat to West Ham and ask the big question: How do Wanderers turn good performances into actual points? We discuss whether individual errors are costing Bolton, whether the attacking side is starting to click, and how long “we played well” can remain a positive if the results don’t improve. We’ll also round up the latest Wanderers news, including: 🗞️ Chris Forino named August Player of the Month 🧤 Dave Harrington’s emergency loan to Grimsby 👶 U21s drawing with Southampton 🔄 Possible further non-league loan moves 🏆 Plus a reminder to vote for Trotter Chatter in Best Podcast – Football League Then attention turns to Cardiff City at the Toughsheet — a game that already feels massive. Cardiff are also struggling to turn performances into results, so we ask: ⚪ Is this officially a must-win for Bolton? ⚪ Would you take an ugly 1-0 over another impressive defeat? ⚪ How much pressure is there on Schumacher to finally get a result? ⚪ Could one win completely change the mood? Plus: 🔢 Trivia 🐉 Blind Rank ⚽ Squad predictions 🔮 Score predictions 📊 Fantasy League update Performances have been encouraging — but now Wanderers need points.

    S5 EP162 How Did We Get Nothing?!

    🎙️ Episode 162 — Trotter Chatter Podcast Two defeats, but plenty of positives to take. Is it time to worry about the results, or are Bolton Wanderers showing they can more than compete in the Championship? ⚪🐘🏰 This week, we look back at a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat at Sheffield United, where Wanderers twice led and produced arguably their best football of the season, only to be denied by Michael Cooper and a stoppage-time winner. We discuss Thierry Gale’s impressive performance, Sam Dalby getting on the scoresheet, the goals conceded and whether Bolton simply need to become more ruthless at this level. With the transfer window now closed, we also assess Wanderers’ final business, including the arrivals of Atsuki Ito, Gavin Bazunu and Theo Bair, plus the departure of Cyrus Christie. Then it’s time for another tough Championship away day as we preview Millwall at The Den, with squad predictions and score predictions.

    S5 EP161 Building From The Start

    🎙️ Episode 161 — Bonham Heroics, Deadline Day & Lincoln Preview Bolton Wanderers remain unbeaten on their return to the Championship after battling their way to a valuable point at Loftus Road. ⚪🐘🏰 In Episode 161 of the Trotter Chatter Podcast, Ryan and the lads look back at the 0-0 draw with QPR — a game dominated by one man in particular: Jack Bonham. After a superb 10-save performance, we ask whether it was one of the best individual goalkeeping displays we’ve seen from a Wanderers keeper in recent years. We discuss Bolton’s lack of attacking threat, the resilience shown to survive a difficult afternoon and whether four points from the opening two Championship games has already given us reason to be optimistic. Then it’s time for a Deadline Day Championship round-up, including the latest Wanderers rumours surrounding Kian Noble, Max Dean and Jayden Nelson, plus the deals happening elsewhere across the division. Finally, attention turns to Lincoln City at the Toughsheet. We take a closer look at our fellow promoted side, their summer business, the threats they pose and ask the big question: can Bolton turn a good start into an excellent one with seven points from three games? Plus: 🗞️ Wanderers news | 🤔 Trivia | 🔮 Squad & score predictions | 🎲 Blind Rank | ⚽ Fantasy League update Episode 161 — let’s get into it! 🎙️⚪🐘🏰 This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Trotter Chatter: The Bolton Wanderers Podcast.

    S5 EP160 BACK WITH A BANG!

    Bolton Wanderers are back in the Championship — and they’re back with a bang! ⚪🐘🏰 In Episode 160 of the Trotter Chatter Podcast, we look back at Wanderers’ brilliant 2-1 victory over Preston North End, as goals from Sam Dalby and Thierry Gale secured Bolton’s first Championship win since 2019. We discuss a superb first-half performance, John McAtee’s influence, Gale’s electric start to the season, the new signings and those VERY nervy final few minutes at the Toughsheet. Then attention turns to the road as Steven Schumacher’s side prepare for their first Championship away game of the season against QPR at Loftus Road. Can Wanderers build on the perfect start and make it two league wins from two? This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Trotter Chatter: The Bolton Wanderers Podcast.

    Pre-season is officially over for Bolton Wanderers, and the new campaign is finally ready to begin. In Episode 158 of the Trotter Chatter Podcast, we look back at Wanderers’ 1-0 victory over NAC Breda and assess how prepared Steven Schumacher’s side appear ahead of their return to competitive action. We discuss another decisive contribution from Ruben Rodrigues, the latest lively display from Thierry Gale, Sam Dalby’s role at the top of the pitch and the midfield battle between Josh Sheehan, Xavier Simons and David Watson. We also assess Bolton’s developing back four, the performances of Ben Davies, Chris Forino and Akin Famewo, plus the first appearance of Gaizka Larrazabal. Attention then turns to the League Cup as Wanderers travel to Hillsborough to face a completely rebuilt Sheffield Wednesday side. With former Bolton players Ricardo Santos and Mason Burstow potentially lining up against the Whites, we preview the key battles, debate Schumacher’s starting XI and ask whether Bolton can end their poor recent record at Hillsborough. Elsewhere, we discuss the reported £5 million investment from Bolton’s new American backers, the latest transfer rumours involving Asmir Begovic, Luke Cundle, Tyrese Hall and Chiedozie Ogbene, as well as the latest arrivals and departures from the squad.

    S5 EP157 Investments, Impressions & One Final Test

    Bolton Wanderers’ pre-season preparations are approaching their final stages, and Episode 156 of the Trotter Chatter Podcast is packed with the latest discussion from around the Toughsheet Community Stadium. We reflect on Wanderers’ goalless draw against Premier League opposition Everton, assessing the impressive defensive display, the performances of the new signings and the players pushing their way into Steven Schumacher’s strongest XI. We also review the trip to Fleetwood Town, where a heavily rotated Bolton side needed a late Thierry Gale equaliser, and discuss what the performance told us about the depth of the current squad. Away from the pitch, we take a closer look at the new minority investment from Entrepreneur Equity Partners, what it could mean for the club’s Championship ambitions and Schumacher’s admission that Wanderers still need at least five more players. There’s also the latest transfer news and rumours, including updates on Kieran Morrison, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Johnny Kenny and Bolton’s search for another goalkeeper. Finally, we preview the last major pre-season test against NAC Breda, debate whether Schumacher should now field his expected opening-day side and ask whether results are beginning to matter as the Championship campaign draws closer. Plus, the return of trivia, squad predictions, score predictions, Blind Rank and the launch of the new Trotter Chatter Fantasy League.
