IT has been a successful 2022 on the whole for Wanderers – and this week we’re looking back on all the highs and lows in our special end-of-year review. Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt analyse all the game, month by month, and chart the progress of Ian Evatt’s side as they finished ninth in League One last season, then launched their promotion chase this time around. The lads also give each and every player who has featured this season a mark out of 10 in our half term report. And rumour has it, Henry

WELCOME back to The Buff, and a weird old week at Bolton Wanderers. On one hand we had a defensive collapse in the cold at Shrewsbury Town and a pair of substitutions that had quite a few foaming at the mouth. And on the other, Ian Evatt's side brushed Manchester United* aside to claim their place in the Papa Johns Trophy quarter final, where we now know they will face Portsmouth at home. Negotiate the highs and lows of the week with Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt along with all the top stories from the

WELCOME back to The Buff Podcast - your weekly spoonful of Bolton Wanderers headlines, opinion and gossip with Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt. Strange things are afoot at BWFC and while the club rides high in sixth place in the table, there is no getting around the fact that performances have not been great. Out of the FA Cup at the first round stage for the fourth year in a row there was some slight solace with the fact we don't have to play Crewe in round two. But with Cambridge United to come this

It's Transfer Deadline Day and to kick off our live blog, we have recorded a special hour-long episode of The Buff podcast to try and predict what business Wanderers might do today. We (correctly) call that Liverpool full-back Owen Beck has completed a season-long loan - and ask what that might mean for Declan John and Jack Iredale. We look at the striker options and debate whether Ian Evatt needs to bring in even more firepower? And have the defensive mistakes which surfaced over the past few weeks
