The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 2 Shrewsbury Town 2

It has been a crazy busy week at Bolton Wanderers and The Buff has been there to cover every second of action, and all the week’s stories.

Strap yourself in for a big episode looking at the major talking points at the Toughsheet Stadium, including three wins in a row for Ian Evatt’s side and a big game this weekend against Shrewsbury Town.

Ricardo Santos has been in the headlines after it emerged he and his family have been targeted for abuse online – and we review the whole debate, warts and all.

Wanderers have four strikers in form but which ones should be picked on Saturday?

And Klaidi Lolos is fit again, but there does he fit in the new-old system?

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt read out your emails and ask whether manager Evatt has really turned a corner, and where he needs to go from here to win over more of his doubters.

There’s a little bit of Gavin McCann, Gavin McCan’t, and a look forward to the next week with lowly Shrewsbury coming to town, not to mention Aston Villa’s kids in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

Turning a corner and not turning the other cheek...

Wanderers hadn't strung three back-to-back wins together in League One for the whole of 2024, so to do it after a hellish trio of away games in some achievement.

The Buff's Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take you through their view of a breathless 4-2 win and some of the best goas scored by Bolton for some time.

We also hear the thoughts of Ian Evatt and Eoin Toal as the Whites move into the top half of the table once again. Happy days indeed.

The Last Word - Northampton Town 2 Bolton Wanderers 4

It might not have been pretty - but Bolton Wanderers beat Crawley with a brand new gameplan which lifts them into mid-table ahead of Tuesday's trip to Northampton Town.

Kyle Dempsey and John McAtee scored the goals in a gritty win, which was most un-Ian Evatt like.

We hear from the Wanderers boss on his thought process, from goal-scorer McAtee on his partnership with Aaron Collins, and from Buff boys Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt, who give their thoughts on the game too.
