THIS is an emergency broadcast on The Buff: This is not a drill.

Due to regular co-host Henry Hewitt’s unavailability (all explained in the pod), Marc had to find another capable pair of hands to help guide him through the wonderful world of Bolton Wanderers headlines.

Unfortunately, the only person who picked up his phone was Derek Clark.

Thankfully, and despite Derek’s wi-fi refusing to accept this was 2023, episode 192 was compiled in time to make sure you go into the last matchday before the international break fully informed and heartily entertained.

Warning: Only listen to this podcast if you would like to find out the following…

What Francis Lee did for Bolton Wanderers in the post-Lofthouse years.

Why Sam Hird will be a difficult act to follow as first team coach.

The reason Jon Dadi Bodvarsson has not been picked ahead of Dan Nlundulu.

Why folk are complaining about the tannoy system at the Toughsheet.

How Wanderers have found a way to win ugly against Port Vale and Stevenage.

And what Marc and Derek think will transpire on Saturday when Carlisle United come to town.

We also throw the floor open for a brand-new feature called: Who Are Ya? All the information lies inside…
