Welcome back to The Buff Podcast on what has been a stormy week at Bolton Wanderers.

The 5-0 defeat at Stockport County led to travelling fans calling for the manager to be sacked, chanting that they didn't like his style of football and generally showing their utter discontent with what was being served up on the pitch.

And when just 1,607 turned up on Tuesday night to watch the game against Fleetwood in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, the mood wasn't much better.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt wade into the argument to discuss whether the manager has really crossed a point of no return, or whether he can win back the critics by leading Bolton on to success this season.

No apologies, it isn't our usual light-hearted Buff this week (at least until the end when Henry flails at Gavin McCann/McCan't). But we hope it's worth a little time out of your day!
