The Buff

Welcome back to The Last Word and a game that won't live long in the memory. Kyle Dempsey scored a scruffy equalising goal 12 minutes from full time at Doncaster Rovers but, let's be honest, the performance barely warranted a share of the spoils. We hear from Steven Schumacher and Tyler Miller after the final whistle and Bolton fan Henry Hewitt drops by to give his verdict on the match.

It's a new year but will it be a new Bolton Wanderers? Steven Schumacher's side go to Doncaster Rovers looking for a pick-me-up after the frustrating defeat to Mansfield Town on Monday. Going into the game in sixth spot, there is a feeling around the fanbase that they are behind schedule. And we hear a few of your five-word verdicts on the club's progress in 2025. Russ Pollitt drops by with his take on the Doncaster clash and we hear an extended interview with the Bolton boss himself.

THE end-of-year podcast that was so long we split it into two pieces! Hot on the heels (well, nearly two weeks after) part one, we bring you part two of our 2025 review at Bolton Wanderers. Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt discuss June onwards and make some predictions on what might happen in 2026 for the Whites. And to counteract the slightly out-of-synch enthusiasm we had at the start of December when we started this project, Marc will be bringing you some reaction from the defeat to Mansfield Town and some of the many emails we got on the subject. We will be back with the regular main show after the Northampton Town game but stay tuned for the First Word and Last Words until then! Happy new year to one and all!

Not much went right for Roy McFarland and Colin Todd during the 1995/96 season but the visit of Bruce Rioch's Arsenal was an exception to the rule. We're bringing you a show every day for 12 days recalling a famous game from the last 30 years of Wanderers history. And in episode 12 we take you back to Burnden Park in front of the Sky Sports cameras, where a new terrace hero was born and an old one grabbed the goal to sink his former boss. Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt re-live a famous night for Wanderers, the stories and the headlines of the time. We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note.

Welcome back to The Last Word and a proper smash and grab job. For all their possession, all their pressure, all their goalscoring chances, Wanderers were seen off by some great goalkeeping, some brave defending and some very questionable penalty calls. We have all the fall-out from a disappointing defeat including interviews with Steven Schumacher, Nigel Clough and Max Conway. Henry Hewitt also drops in to give his reaction to the defeat and, as ever, Marc Iles talks you through the good, the bad and the indifferent asking: "Does this affect the club's thinking for the January transfer window?"
