The First Word - Exeter City v Bolton Wanderers

It has been a week where we could wallow in Wanderers' Premier League past glories, and then remember there's a long trip to Exeter City to come this weekend.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are back to discuss the week's headlines from The Bolton News, including a bittersweet 2-2 draw with Ian Evatt's Blackpool and the revelation that Josh Sheehan has signed a new contract at the Toughsheet.

The lads discuss the promotion picture, whether it really is too late for the Whites to catch Lincoln and Cardiff, and whether third place is success or failure this season.

As ever we read out your emails, your stories of how you became a Bolton Wanderers fan, and make some predictions for the long trip to St James Park.

And do you want to know some fascinating facts about Exeter? Nor did Henry.

It's the biggest, it's the best, it's The Buff!

The Buff presents: Kia Ora farming and the "worst unbeaten run ever!"

Welcome back to The Last Word... And a 'mad' afternoon against Ian Evatt's Blackpool.

Yes, Mason Burstow's 10th goal of the season gave him a few of the headlines but Lincoln's win at Mansfield didn't exactly cheer people up either.

Hear from Evatt alongside Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher, Kyle Dempsey and analysis of the game from Henry Hewitt.
