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.
