We're back! Did you miss us?

When last we recorded a main episode of The Buff we were looking forward to the festive fixture list with optimism and Henry - possibly as a result of one too many chocolate liqueurs - had predicted 12 points from the five games between Wycombe and Northampton.

Let's be honest, it didn't go according to plan. But why?

That's what we are here to look at as The Buff makes its New Year comeback with a bumper episode filled with headlines, gossip and emails.

What do we think to Steven Schumacher's squad rotation?

Which Wanderers players are in danger during the January transfer window?

What names have already been linked - and is there anything in them?

What is written on the bathroom wall at Portman Road about Barry Knight?

All of these questions are answered, along with plenty more in your number one Bolton Wanderers podcast!
