WELCOME back to The Buff Podcast – and a double winning week which gave us plenty to talk about at Wanderers.

Thanks to Dapo Afolayan’s heroics at Fleetwood, we’ve made this week’s episode a Late, Late Show, looking back at some of the most memorable injury time strikes scored by Bolton in recent history.

Ian Evatt’s side have also progressed in the Papa Johns Trophy thanks to a 3-2 win against Barrow and we analyse all the action on the night, including a star turn from Eoin Toal, a rare goal for Elias Kachunga and another cup error from Joel Dixon.

We also discuss expectation at Bolton Wanderers this season – and why despite hovering around the top six for the whole season, the club still seems one bad result away from a meltdown each and every week. Is it history related? Or are we just a dramatic bunch.

We ask: Is It Alright or Barry Knight? We open the Fil Morais postbag and read out your emails and we are treated to a brand-new song from The Buff’s resident tunesmith, Simon Woods.


This season we’ll be running a special Fantasy Football League for listeners of The Buff – and will be dishing out monthly prizes, plus recruiting some special guests to play against from the world of Wanderers.
