    The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 3-3 Huddersfield Town

    Welcome back to The Last Word...And yet another late, late show! Ibrahim Cissoko's 101st minute goal might have arrived too late for the Wanderers end-of-season awards ceremony shortlist, but it made for yet more drama at the Toughsheet as Steven Schumacher's side inched their way towards the play-offs. We hear from the Bolton boss and the hero of the hour, along with Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt for their take on another exciting afternoon.

    The First Word - Bolton Wanderers v Huddersfield Town

    Welcome to The First Word and the penultimate home game of the regular season. It's three to go (hopefully six) and we are coming off the back of a strange old week at Bolton Wanderers. Bad at Cardiff, outstanding at home to Stevenage, which side will turn up on Saturday lunchtime? In fairness, Huddersfield have not been the most consistent this season. Bolton have got the better of them twice and this looks like their last shot of making the top six. We hear from Bolton boss Steven Schumacher along with midfield lynchpin Josh Sheehan at the press conference and Russ Pollitt drops by with his take on the weekend's action. It's The First Word....

    Take a moment: Who's going to make the difference for Wanderers?

    Welcome back to The Buff Podcast... And a week of extremes at Wanderers. After a poor performance at Cardiff, we got a five-star display against Stevenage. Life is never dull at the Toughsheet Stadium. Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt wade through a week of headlines from The Bolton News and discuss some of the big topics this week including Thierry Gale's form, Bolton's best central defensive partnership, what happens next for John McAtee and and whether Steven Schumacher can really name the same team on Saturday. We read out listener emails, a story of Why I'm a Wanderer and make some predictions for what will happen against Huddersfield. To help out the intrepid walkers on their mission from Huddersfield to Bolton this weekend, raising money for good causes, here's their GoFundMe! It's the biggest, it's the best, it's The Buff!

  8. The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 5-1 Stevenage

    15 AVR.

    The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 5-1 Stevenage

    Welcome back to The Last Word...And a surprisingly goal-filled night against Stevenage. Given the fact that Bolton's play-off rivals had perfected the art of the 1-0 win, who saw a 5-1 hammering in store, particularly after a disappointing day in Cardiff? We'll take it, though, and the sight of Amario Cozier-Duberry and Thierry Gale back to their early-season best is something that bodes very well for the business end of the season. Marc Iles talks you through the highlights, Henry Hewitt gives his spin on the game and we hear the best of the post-match press conference from Steven Schumacher and Super Amario. It's the perfect post-match debrief, in fact. We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note. Subscription to The Bolton News will cost from £31 for a WHOLE YEAR!
