Welcome back to The Last Word, and a browse through Wanderers' 3-0 win against AFC Wimbledon.

Mason Burstow, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Joel Randall scored the goals but what is the story behind the game and what do folk think about it?

Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt give their view and we speak to Steven Schumacher and Chris Forino after the final whistle. Enjoy!

Ready for Matchday? The First Word is a great place to start.

Listen to all the best from the pre-match press conference at Lostock, including interviews with Steven Schumacher and Cyrus Christie as Wanderers gear up for their home game against AFC Wimbledon.

Bah Gawd! That's Sam Dalby's music!

Imagine if Bolton Wanderers were played out to the music of WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin - a confirmed Whites superfan.

That is one of the many high-brow topics we discuss at the end of a long week on The Buff, where the headlines are examined, the transfer gossip is dissected, and your emails are answered, as per.

Among the topics on offer this week - Why John McAtee's loan to Barnsley fell down at the last moment, what Aaron Morley is worth in the League One market and why it took so long to confirm that Wanderers were playing against Wimbledon this weekend.

Marc and Henry review the draw against Blackpool, the Vertu Trophy win against Rotherham United and look forward to a lovely home game on Saturday. What could possibly go wrong?

ANOTHER day, another podcast, and tonight we're re-living a surprisingly eventful opener to this season's Vertu Trophy group stages against Rotherham United.

Thierry Gale scored a blinder and then had a 'mare, to use the footballing parlance. And it made for a more difficult night than it probably should have been for Steven Schumacher's side.

We hear from the Wanderers boss along with goalkeeper Tyler Miller after his first clean sheet in a Bolton shirt. 

And of course we have Marc Iles, Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt chipping in with their view on the game. Enjoy!

At the end of a long day of following The Bolton News' transfer deadline day blog, why not relax and tune into another half an hour of football content, discussing exactly what you have been watching for the last 12 hours.

Yes, The Buff is back with a Last Word. Or is it a First Word? There is a game on today, so you can treat this podcast as either of them.

Hear from Marc Iles, Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt as they pick apart the events of TDD, plus assistant head coach Ritchie Kyle on tonight's Vertu Trophy game against Rotherham United.

It's the podcast you know you didn't need. But listen anyway, please!

TIMED perfectly to go with your bacon and egg butty, bag of cheese and onion crisps and bottle of orange Fanta, it's The Buff's lunchtime transfer update.

Unfortunately recorded BEFORE news of John McAtee's potential loan to Barnsley reached us, we have managed to look at the stuff that has been confirmed.

Marc Iles talks about the right-back rumours, including Cyrus Christie, and the potential for more exits after Szabi Schon went back to Hungary.

And we hear from the Northern Echo's reporter Dom Shaw on why Bolton Wanderers fans should be getting excited about Marcus Forss.

We'll be back with another mini-Buff later on!

The Curse lives on. Bolton Wanderers failed to take that elusive three points from Bloomfield yet again, so let's talk about it.

Marc Iles takes you through a frustrating afternoon on the coast with help from Henry Hewitt, plus interviews with Steven Schumacher and Mason Burstow.

We also look forward to transfer deadline day and what it might mean for the Whites, who could come in and who might be leaving for pastures new.

Wanderers head back on the road in search of a first victory at Bloomfield Road since 1977 and we have got all the pre-match content you need.

Steven Schumacher talks about the benefit of a free week, the transfer state of play ahead of deadline day and much more.

Josh Dacres-Cogley explains how the squad have been making sure the new players know the importance of this game.

We also speak to Amos Wynn from The Blackpool Gazette to get the lowdown on Blackpool and their poor start.

OK, neither Marc nor Henry was at Saturday's game... But we got the gist.

The big talking point this week isn't necessarily a point salvaged against Lincoln City in the 97th minute, it's more the impending transfer deadline, and what Bolton need before that window slams shut.

Sitting 15th in the table and with Steven Schumacher struggling to convince absolutely everyone that his side's performances will eventually yield more points, the atmosphere around Wanderers has been a little mixed in the last seven days.

We dig into some of the fans' concerns, look at all this week's headlines from The Bolton News, and we open the floor to you - our loyal listeners. Even the one guy in Panama.

Finally we cast a glance at the weekend's game against Blackpool, and the possibility of ending the Bloomfield Road curse.

Wanderers conceded from the first attack of the game against Lincoln City - and then equalised with virtually the last! We do our best to breakdown a crazy 90 minutes of League One football at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Hear from Steven Schumacher and Michael Skubala, plus Bolton fan Russ Pollitt, to get the lowdown on the game.
