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.

Bolton Wanderers face a tough test against Lincoln City at the Toughsheet Stadium and we have got all the pre-match content you need.

Steven Schumacher talks about the quick turnaround from Wednesday night against Reading, what he expects from the Imps and, of course, the striker search.

Ethan Erhahon explains why he's excited to face his former club just under a month on from his exit from the LNER Stadium.

We also speak to Gary Hutchinson from The Stacey West to get the lowdown on the Imps and what has been behind their impressive start to the League One campaign.

Howdy, and welcome to that there Buff Podcast.

OK, enough of the fake Southern drawl, it has been a frustrating week for Bolton Wanderers fans and so we're bringing you a bumper episode of The Buff packed with headlines, gossip, emails and predictions.

We look at the possible ins and outs at Bolton in the transfer window, what could come next for the goalscorer at Barnsley, John McAtee, exactly who is number two goalkeeper behind Teddy Sharman Lowe and why Steven Schumacher could be compared to the Man From Milk Tray.

And PS, yes, Marc does look a bit too much like Charles Bronson/The Iron Sheikh in this picture.

Quite how Wanderers didn't take all three points against Reading, we're not too sure... But we're sure as hell going to talk about it on this podcast.

Join Marc Iles for some post-match conversation including analysis from Bolton fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt, plus the latest interviews from Steven Schumacher and Xavier Simons.

It's that time again, and a chance to reflect on the afternoon's football with The Last Word.

It was another day of drama at Oakwell. An even first half, a soft goal to concede, a red card and then a late fightback with chances aplenty in stoppage time to win the game outright.

Marc Iles talks you through the story of the game with extra analysis from Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt.

And then we get some specialist views, with Steven Schumacher and Max Conway putting their views forward from the post-match press conference.

A point for Wanderers but how pleased should we be? Listen on...

Bolton Wanderers are on their way to familiar foes Barnsley, and we have got the very latest from the Wanderers camp to fill the trip to Oakwell.

Sit back and listen to Steven Schumacher talking about last season's disappointment, the rebuilding plan, how he wasn't too disheartened by the midweek defeat against Sheffield Wednesday and why set pieces are still very important to him.

George Johnston also gives his view on the game, his new role in the squad, and why two wins out of two don't necessarily paint the whole picture for today's opposition.

We also speak to Doug O'Kane from the Barnsley Chronicle about Connor Hourihane's quiet revolution in South Yorkshire and why John McAtee hasn't quite translated across the Pennines (yet).

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast - and this week it's an episode with a difference.

With Henry Hewitt on fully paid paternity leave (don't tell Roy Keane) and Russ Pollitt doing a secret business deal in London, Marc had to get creative as he brings another hour-plus of Bolton Wanderers headlines and chat.

So, in no particular order, we brought in some expert help to cover the topics that matter - welcome Alex Miller from the Sheffield Star, Doug O'Kane from the Barnsley Chronicle, Ethan Erhahon from the midfield engine room, head coach of the BWFC Women's team Myles Smith and Derek Clark, outside the men's lavvies in the West Stand.

We also dabble with AI, answer your emails on wingers and the letter 'U' and we make some predictions about what will happen in Bolton's next two games.

Co-host? We don't need no stinking co-host...

PS - Hurry back Russ and H2, somebody called me 'Baldy' the other day on Twitter and it was really scary.

THE Last Word is back again with a midweek cup exit against Sheffield Wednesday - and a potentially controversial summary from your podcast host.

Ten men or no, we took more negatives than positives from the performance, but this is a democracy, you are all allowed your own view.

Hear from Steven Schumacher, Ethan Erhahon and Henrik Pedersen after a strange old night of Carabao Cup football.
