Purple plums, touchline strops and the Accy curse

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast, which thankfully is a lot more upbeat this week!

Even Ian Evatt was on a downer after last week's show, which tackled the depressing defeats at Blackpool and Wigan. But after a solid return to form against Cambridge United and a stirring comeback to grab a point at Barnsley, Bolton are second in the table and everything is better with the world once more.

We look ahead to two big games at Exeter City and Oxford United, sifting through the headlines from the week at Wanderers,

Who Are You is back once more with the letter Q and we read out some of the top emails we have received, including a good point about Bolton's recent workload.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt (now smiling again) give out their predictions on the week ahead and who they would like to see start this weekend at St James Park.

AFTER a week of woe, we decided to offer up this week's podcast to you - the dear listener - to air your concerns and grievances.

Loads of you contacted us with your views on the defeats at Blackpool and Wigan Athletic, so Marc and Henry have picked through the best of the emails to bring you a good old postbag special.

Spoiler alert: It isn't a happy clappy affair.

We rake over the details of the DW and Bloomfield Road, neither of which was a derby despite last week's podcast title (wink). 

And we look ahead to two more big games, at home to Cambridge United and away at Barnsley, in a trip which already has a fate-defining air about it.

IT'S a crucial week in Wanderers' promotion push with two big local trips to Blackpool and Wigan Athletic.

Ian Evatt's side got themselves motoring again with a gutsy win at Cambridge United and showed some character to twice come from a goal down to grab a point against Charlton Athletic.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt review the week's headlines from The Bolton News, including a good look at the players coming back into the fore, like George Thomason and Ricardo Santos.

We examine what make Josh Sheehan so great, and why other people seem to want to kick him.

And if there has been a better strike at the Abbey Stadium this millennium than the one Carlos Mendes Goal-mes got on Tuesday night, we want to hear from you.

We read out your emails on complaining supporters and whether you can legally watch Wanderers TV in the pub.

And Who Are You is back, with the letter P. Bolton Coroners Office is standing by.

IT has been another newsy week at Bolton Wanderers - so Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are here again to take you through al the headlines from The Bolton News.

Red cards for George Thomason and manager Ian Evatt at Northampton Town set tongues wagging and prompted many of you to email our postbag, We take a good look at the debate in a special headlines section.

Wanderers drew at Northampton thanks to Carlos Mendes Gomes's header, so we discuss how he fits into the Bolton jigsaw for the rest of the season. And the same can be said of one of Tuesday night's heroes against Wycombe, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

Who Are You is back with the letter 'O' - and we find out which former Wanderers player may (or may not) be driving a taxi cab in Ireland.

We also cast our eyes towards the upcoming games against Charlton Athletic and Cambridge United and hear a new tune from the Royton Liberace himself, Jack Dearden.

IT'S Superb Owl weekend, and so to celebrate our superlative feathered friends we bring a podcast dedicated to... No, not really. It's another hour of Bolton Wanderers headlines and gossip with Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt.

In what has been a whirlwind week with the Whites we look back at a 1-1 draw with Barnsley at the Toughsheet Stadium, Aaron Collins's impressive start, the launch of Zac Ashworth's Bolton career and a mad 15 minutes that had everyone hot under the collar.

Tuesday night's game at Cambridge United lasted a grand total of eight minutes, seven of which were spent splashing around in the mud. We ask if anything could have been done to save the fans' travelling and whether Ian Evatt will stick with the same players for this weekend's trip to Northampton Town.

The guys give their predictions, read out your emails, and get to the letter N on our popular feature, Who Are You?

WELCOME to a very special edition of The Buff Podcast, getting you in the mood for Transfer Deadline Day!

It promises to be a busy day for Bolton as they look to put the finishing touches to their squad for the promotion push.

Will they succeed in their big money chase for Bristol Rovers' Aaron Collins?

Will injuries force them back into the transfer market for a defender?

How will new boys Calvin Ramsay and Nat Ogbeta fit in?

And could there be a late sting in the tail with outgoing transfers?

All of these questions are tackled by Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt in the first of TWO Buff Podcasts this week!

Our regular episode will be out, as normal, on Friday.

WE’RE into the final week of the transfer window and Bolton Wanderers are suddenly getting their skates on!

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt bring you right up to date with what we know on the transfer front at Bolton Wanderers – and discuss a few twists and turns that have happened this week.

On the agenda…

Who are Ludonautics, what do they do, and will they help Wanderers?

Has Victor Adeboyejo been targeted by a foreign club?

What happened at Leyton Orient?

Does it really matter how Bolton beat Cheltenham?

And do players really take notice of their ratings in the paper?

All of this and we’ll be looking ahead to this weekend’s trip to Carlisle United, the Bristol Street Motors Trophy quarter final against Blackpool, and we will definitely not be Googling Kieran Lee again!

WELCOME back to The Buff Podcast in what has been an emotional week for everyone connected to the club.

Saturday's game against Cheltenham Town was abandoned in tragic circumstances, with the club paying tribute to lifelong supporter Iain Purslow a few days later in the FA Cup replay against Luton Town.

Marc and Henry discuss a difficult few days for the club, debates that have arisen from the media coverage and the support given from the footballing world.

On the pitch there has been plenty to discuss, too. There were some terrific performances against the Hatters, not to mention a few debatable refereeing decisions. 

We bring another round of Who Are You - this week with the letter K - and we also look ahead to this weekend's game at Leyton Orient and the rearranged game against Cheltenham.
