There’s plenty up for discussion including Saturday’s trip to Tranmere to face a certain former boss, the transfer window and the leaks coming out of the club that have left Ian Evatt less than impressed.

The 12 days of Buff-Mas 2025, Episode 11: Mansfield v Wanderers (2021)

Did Dougie Freedman nearly 'crack it' at Bolton Wanderers?

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 10 we take you back to an incredible 5-1 win against Leeds United at Elland Road which suggested that an improving Bolton side might climb away from the relegation zone and go on to make themselves promotion worthy.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take you back to the game, the goals, and the headlines.

And Marc KNOWS that Jane Seymour, not Jane Fonda, was the Bond girl in Live and Let Die.

The 12 days of Buff-Mas 2025, Episode 10: Leeds 1-5 Wanderers (2014)

Welcome back to The Last Word and a game that had a real sting in the tail.

Josh Sheehan looked to have scored the winner, until Sam Nombe's late, late penalty levelled matters and sent a lot of Bolton Wanderers fans trudging for the exit in frustration.

But the Welshman then scored again on 93 minutes to put Bolton back ahead, and leave us all wondering exactly how we should be feeling?

We hear from Steven Schumacher, Josh Sheehan and Rotherham boss Matt Hamshaw plus Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt drop by to give us their two cents.
