THE Buff has returned after a week away, and this week we have a smorgasbord of wonderful football after two wins at Wanderers and a brilliant Carabao Cup draw. MARVEL at the 31-pass move for the second goal against Salford City, WONDER at the rout against Wycombe and SWOON at the record-breaking season ticket sales and a Fan Zone that sells half-decent ale. We break down all the week’s headlines, build up to a tough trip to Port Vale, rank the Wycombe win on the Evatt-o-meter, and discuss that

WELCOME back to The Buff’s annual League One prediction extravaganza – and who we think will be riding high or sinking low this season. Soothsayers Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take out their crystal ball to see who will be struggling at Burton on windy Tuesday night, and which clubs will be on the beach by April. The boys analyse some of the big headlines at Bolton Wanderers from the week and analyse the final pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town. There is a game-by-game breakdown of the

IT'S that time of the week where Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt thumb through all the Bolton Wanderers headlines and bring you the details behind every story. Yes, it's The Buff Podcast. And on this week's show we build up to the final pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town by weighing up the pros and cons of the summer so far. We channel our inner Ian Evatt and see if we can already pick his team to beat Ipswich Town on the opening day of the season. Of course we investigate the Carlisle United

Marc and Henry sift through the details of friendlies against Wigan Athletic and Watford plus the debut of the B Team at Atherton Colls.

WELCOME to another edition of The Buff Podcast, as Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take you through another week of pre-season, and a week closer to the big kick-off in League One. The lads peek through the long grass at Chorley and see how Ian Evatt’s side is getting on – then we grab the binoculars and suss out how the Whites went on behind closed doors against Stockport. The accounts are out, so Marc and Henry discuss whether there are any major concerns, and also point in the direction of Kieran

2022/07/01

WELCOME back to The Buff – and the first one of Wanderers’ pre-season! We look back at the opening friendly against Longridge Town and a nine-goal haul that has got everyone very excited, rightly or wrongly. The club’s new home shirt was launched this week, so we ask whether it is alright or Barry Knight in the fashion stakes. Ian Evatt announced there were “conversations” with other clubs about top stars like Dapo Afolayan and Ricardo Santos, so should Bolton supporters be nervous? The B Team squad

WELCOME to another edition of The Buff – which would have been live from Portugal, had Marc’s hotel had better wi-fi! Instead, the lads scrutinise the week’s Bolton Wanderers headlines from the glamorous locations of Leigh and Bath, but that doesn’t mean we have scrimped on the detail. We pore through the new fixture list and whether the tough start Wanderers have been given will make any difference. We look at new loan addition Conor Bradley from Liverpool and whether he should be seen in a

In part one, we are joined by Chris Mann, the creator of the Burnden Aces and BWFC Stats Twitter accounts and a Wanderers fan who knows exactly when to send Paddy McCarthy a Moonpig card.

THIS week's Buff Podcast skims over the fact it has been a quiet week at Bolton Wanderers and makes its own news. Should Josh Windass be applauded for his social media exploits? Can Dapo Afolayan pull off plastic footwear and why does Henry keep Lloyd Isgrove's signed sock in his spare room? Of course we debate all the week's headlines. We wrote them. There is a cancelled friendly against Oldham Athletic, talk of fan disorder, early season slumps and Harry Brockbank's American U-turn. But more

STOP the clocks, cut off the telephone, it is time for a bit of reflection on The Buff as we look back at a whole decade spent outside the Premier League. Marc and Henry look back at that fateful day at Stoke City and the myriad of problems that led to it for Owen Coyle’s side. But this isn’t just a pity party… There’s plenty to discuss about the modern-day Wanderers too and we look at the exciting signing of Australian defender Jack Iredale, which kicks off Ian

IT’S the final game of the season and The Buff is in party mood as we look forward to one final 90 minutes against Fleetwood and a whole summer’s worth of transfer gossip. We trawl through the headlines and debate what sums of money could realistically convince Bolton Wanderers to part with their top players. As James Trafford gets linked with a loan move to Belgium, we discuss whether he has ever watched Poirot or ruminated over a Magritte? It has been a week of weird statistics –
