  • The Last Word - Rotherham United 3-1 Bolton Wanderers
    Jan 11 2025

    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.

    Some controversial comments in here, so listen at your peril!

  • High horses, transfer targets and an overdue Beatles Reunion
    Jan 10 2025

    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 into some of the more unsavoury stuff, including police investigations into tweets and racist behaviour.

    But it's soon back to the more enjoyable stuff and after reading out your emails, we also rub our crystal balls to predict what might happen at Rotherham United this weekend, and at Lincoln in the Vertu Trophy on Tuesday night.

  • The Last Word - Exeter City 1-2 Bolton Wanderers
    Jan 5 2025

    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 also hear from Wanderers boss Ian Evatt and the returning hero Aaron Morley.
