The First Word - Bolton Wanderers v Port Vale

Welcome back to The Last Word as Wanderers toppled out of the Vertu Trophy with a woeful performance against Port Vale.

Richard Taylor's error in the final minute cost Bolton dearly as Ben Waine scored to end their Wembley dreams and leave Steven Schumacher needing some inspiration from somewhere to ease the massive pressure starting to weigh on his shoulders.

We consider some of the issues facing the Wanderers boss right now, the pressures of the transfer window, the psychological effects of having a large squad, and why the confidence just seems to have been sapped out of a side that was riding high in October and November.

Henry Hewitt drops by with his take on the game and we hear from Schumacher in the post-match press conference.

Not the easiest listen you'll have this week - but since when has supporting BWFC been a piece of cake?
