Welcome back to The Last Word... And an impressively brave victory at Plymouth which answered a lot of questions about Wanderers heading towards the play-offs.

There was more of a story to tell at Home Park aside from an action-packed game, and Marc Iles takes you through events on and off the pitch.

We hear from Steven Schumacher and Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley - and why there may have been a bit of naughty language picked up by the microphones!

We get Henry Hewitt's take on an important three points and look forward to Monday's game at home to Stockport County, which suddenly feels a little less fraught.

Welcome to The First Word and, ladies and gentlemen, we are at the business end of the season.

Two huge games over the Easter weekend begin down on the South Coast at Plymouth, as Steven Schumacher goes back to the club he led out of League One in 2023.

Bolton start the day in third and knowing two wins this Easter could effectively wrap up their place in the play-offs. Drop points, however, and the tension rises further.

We hear from the head coach plus striker Mason Burstow, the Plymouth Herald's Chris Errington drops by to talk about the Pilgrims and BWFC fan Russ Pollitt sums up his mood ahead of the big game.

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast... And a great big Easter Weekend for Bolton Wanderers.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are back to go through all the headlines after the international break and preview two massive games in the play-off race.

Wanderers head to Plymouth Argyle on Good Friday before hosting Stockport County on Easter Monday, after which they could have one foot in the play-offs... Or a scenario we'd rather not think about.

As ever we tackle all the talking points from the Toughsheet, including those frightening accounts, and we read out your emails.

We have recorded a special podcast from the Bolton Wanderers Supporters' Association's 10th anniversary event, including a Q&A session with Steven Schumacher and Fergal Harkin, plus an exclusive interview with Ricardo Gardner about his upcoming charity game.

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast... And we'll try and keep talk of the Port Vale game to a minimum.

After that monstrosity it looks like the play-offs are Bolton's only remaining shot for promotion. Marc and Henry chat through what that will look like, how tough the run-in will be, and what missing out on a top two spot could mean to morale.

We read out your emails, Why I'm a Wanderer, plus look through the headlines from The Bolton News.

And to finish it all off, Marc and Henry predict what the top six will look like...

Welcome back to The Last Word... And a defeat against Port Vale that was as ugly as they come.

We sift through the wreckage of arguably Wanderers' worst performance of the season, on what was without doubt the worst pitch.

After two disappointing draws against Rotherham and Doncaster, Cardiff's lunchtime result left a small window of opportunity to cut the gap to eight points. But no such luck.

We hear from Steven Schumacher and Eoin Toal, plus Bolton fan Henry Hewitt drops in with his take on the game.

Welcome to The First Word as Wanderers aim to be pitch perfect at Port Vale!

After a couple of frustrating draws, the Whites face a potential banana skin against a side sitting bottom of League One, but who have proven they are no pushovers with a remarkable FA Cup run.

Hear from Steven Schumacher and Chris Forino, plus Russ Pollitt drops by to share his thoughts on the past week at Wanderers.

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast... And things are getting tense on Wanderers Mountain.

Two draws against Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers have all-but ended slim hopes of automatic promotion but do they hint at bigger issues?

It seems inconceivable that Wanderers won't make the play-offs as a bare minimum but with Corey Blackett-Taylor now out for the season and a few awkward questions being asked about the club's season as a whole, is there a danger of implosion?

We examine the pros and cons, look over the week's headlines from The Bolton News, read out your emails and give our predictions on what might happen at Port Vale this weekend.
