The Last Word - Huddersfield Town 0-1 Bolton Wanderers

2025/01/25

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a fresh start. The post Ian Evatt era has begun, and on a high note, no less. Lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan Julian Darby led his club to a 1-0 win at Huddersfield Town to end an unbeaten streak that stretches all the way back to the start of October. Not a single person at the John Smith's Stadium went home disappointed, and not least the former Bolton School pupil who had dreamed of the day he led his club out in such circumstances. Does he want the job

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt discuss the manager's departure, what's next for him and what's next for the Whites in what looks like being a big week at the club. Huddersfield Town are next up, so we look to a daunting televised game at the John Smith's Stadium, and let's not forget Tuesday's visit from Kevin Nolan's Northampton Town. There are loads of transfer headlines to talk about too in what has been

The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 1-2 Charlton Athletic

The Buff ·

2025/01/22

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a night that felt definitive. Beaten 2-1 at home by Charlton Athletic with two goals in the final 20 minutes, Ian Evatt once again bore the brunt of the fans' frustrations. Judging by the sight of the empty seats, many season ticket holders stayed at home, but those who watched the game would have ironically seen some of the best football Bolton had played this season. And, yes, we know there's not a lot of competition. But with so much pressure on the board to

The Last Word - Bolton Wanderers 2-2 Cambridge United

2025/01/18

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a draw gained from the jaws of defeat... Not that it felt like a point to celebrate. It was a grim day at the Toughsheet where Bolton shared the spoils with Cambridge United but once again failed to impress. Fans voiced their anger at manager Ian Evatt once more, and though the club moved up to ninth in the table, those play-off positions still feel very far away. Marc Iles guides you through the afternoon's action with help from Buff Alumni Henry Hewitt and Russ

The Buff is back, and a super-sized episode comes to you on a week of frustration at Bolton Wanderers. Another disappointing display at Rotherham United prompted angry scenes in the away end with thousands calling for Ian Evatt to leave his post. And just a few days later another bombshell was dropped, as Bolton's top scorer for the past two seasons was sold to League One rivals Huddersfield Town. Let's just say the two events prompted A LOT of you to email us with your thoughts, so Marc and Henry

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a win for Wanderers that sees them just two games away from Wembley! The match was only part of the talking point tonight, and along with all the details of the 1-0 victory at Sincil Bank we will be discussing Dion Charles's impending move to Huddersfield Town. We hear from Ian Evatt on the deal, and why he feels it is the right one for the club, and Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt chip in with their views too.

2025/01/11

Welcome back to The Last Word, and another painful defeat for Wanderers. It's a long time since Bolton won at Rotherham - 1966 in fact - and there was no sign of that changing at the New York Stadium on what was another frustrating afternoon for the Whites supporters. Marc Iles talks you through the action, Henry Hewitt brings you an extra long dose of analysis and we hear from Ian Evatt and John McAtee.

The Buff is back once again, and ready to dive headlong into a week of Bolton Wanderers headlines. We have transfer tittle tattle, including the arrival of Joel Randall from Peterborough United, links to Norway Under-21 international Jonas Therkelsen and the gossip surrounding striker Dion Charles and a possible Bolton exit. We have a good look at Aaron Morley's return to Bolton and whether his performance at Exeter City last weekend has hinted at a more secure future at the club. We have to delve

2025/01/05

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a day of drama on and off the pitch. Aaron Morley came back to win the game with a late free kick at Exeter and Aaron Collins scored his 12th of the season, all after Wanderers had given themselves a mountain to climb with some sloppy defending. But there was more to come as controversy off the pitch threatened to mar what was an all-round decent away result. Marc Iles takes you through the action with Henry Hewitt also dropping in to give his view on the game. We

Welcome back to The Buff, hope you all had a cracking Christmas and a great New Year. Sorry about (most of) the football. Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are back to go through the main talking points at Bolton Wanderers with a fine toothed comb, which Marc got as a joke present in Secret Santa. The January window is upon us and it comes at a crucial time for the club and its manager, who have both been under some pressure of late.

2025/01/01

Welcome back to The Last Word, and another frustrating defeat against Mansfield Town to kick the New Year off on the worst possible note. Ian Evatt felt the performances merited more, and we had a split in opinion among The Buff regulars, but the bottom line was that despite territorial and possession advantage, Mansfield took three points and moved ahead of Bolton in the league table.

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a relatively comfortable 3-0 win for Bolton Wanderers against Lincoln City. Yes, the Imps shot themselves in the foot with a half-time red card, yes some of the goals had an element of luck about them, but considering some of the difficult days we have seen in 2024, let's hope this is the change in fortunes we have all been craving.
