2025/12/14

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a podcast that will go that bit smoother after Wanderers' comeback victory against Exeter City. There was frustration at half time with the Whites a goal down.

Catch up with all the post-match interviews from Steven Schumacher, Gary Caldwell and Thierry Gale, plus we

WELCOME back to The Last Word, a podcast looking back on the good, the bad and the ugly from Wanderers' 1-1 draw at Luton Town. Spoiler alert: There was a lot of ugly. It was a grim old day in Bedfordshire but Bolton got out of it with a point. Whether they should have had more is very much up for debate. We talk about Xavier Simons' red card, the form of Mason Burstow and Amario Cozier-Duberry and why you should never trust a commentator. We also hear from Steven Schumacher, Kyle Dempsey and

Welcome back to The Last Word - we hope you have all dried out sufficiently to listen to a list of goal descriptions and general anarchy that was the 6-2 win at Oldham Athletic. Where to start? Eleven changes, four debuts, six goals, three goal-line clearances, one minute's worth of silence completely missed, along with a penalty. Wanderers were already safely through to the next round of the Vertu Trophy but they rubber stamped the top spot with a result that really does show the competition within
