The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Mansfield Town (Bolton win 5-4 on pens)

WELCOME to another episode of The Buff Podcast. Pull up a chair, stick the kettle on, we have got plenty to talk about in the busy world of Bolton Wanderers.

Ian Evatt's side kicked off their season with a win at Leyton Orient and then backed it up by beating Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup on penalties. Neither performance was flawless - but can we really expect that at this stage of the season?

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt pick the bones out of those two games and the headlines from The Bolton News, which include the sad passing of club legend Roy Greaves. 

We also preview the upcoming televised game against Wrexham - Deadpool, Disney and all - and the return of Phil Parkinson to the dugout five years after he left the club.

The Last Word - Leyton Orient 1 Bolton Wanderers 2

THE new season is upon us - and we plan to podcast about it!

Wanderers have been busy in the transfer market on the eve of the new League One campaign and their opening game at Leyton Orient.

Jay Matete, Jordi Osei-Tutu have already signed up and John McAtee was on the cusp as we recorded this episode on Friday.

We talk about what each deal means and whether Ian Evatt now has a squad that is capable of getting automatic promotion.

Marc and Henry review all the week's headlines in The Bolton News and Gavin McCann/McCan't makes an impromptu comeback to the running order, like a prime Darren Pratley at Fleetwood in 2017.

Prediction time also returns... But will the boys back Wanderers for a first league win since 1990? Listen and find out.
