JOIN Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt for a round-up of the week’s news at Bolton Wanderers.
We examine a ridiculous injury list at the UniBol and wonder how it could possibly get any worse, plus look at the short-term fixes that might exist in Ian Evatt’s squad.
We speak to ex-Bolton midfielder Mark Patterson about his new book, and a signing session he has planned at the club shop this weekend (1pm, Saturday).
And, of course, we have some Wanderers-themed games, including Danny Shittu and Squad Game… Both of which must not be missed. 
All that, and we bring you a full review of Tuesday night’s win against Doncaster and a preview of the upcoming games against Cheltenham in League One, and Fleetwood in the Papa John’s Trophy.

Season 3, Episode 16: It's last man standing at Wanderers

JOIN Marc and Henry for a festive celebration of 100 episodes of The Buff – and a look at the Covid ravaged Christmas football schedule.
We analyse the recently-aired Sharon Brittan interview, look at the transfer speculation linking Wanderers with Accrington’s Dion Charles and AFC Wimbledon’s Anthony Hartigan, and discuss whether clubs could ever make vaccinations mandatory.
All the regular features are here too, including Squad Game, Danny Shittu and your emails – which this week concentrate on the lesser-known Bolton players to have graced the TV screens and pop charts.
We also bring news of a special Boxing Day event for Wanderers fans on The Bolton News’ website where we will look back at the best and the worst of 2021. Find out how you can get involved!

Season 3, Episode 19: The Grinch that stole Christmas football

WELCOME to another episode of The Buff, packed full of the week’s biggest Bolton Wanderers headlines from The Bolton News.
Join Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt on their weekly journey through the biggest stories from the University of Bolton Stadium.
We discuss the big transfer stories of the week, including Iceland international Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Dennis Politic heading to Italy and Harry Brockbank going to start a new chapter in his career in the US.
We also drill down into Wanderers chase for Gillingham captain Kyle Dempsey and wonder what is holding the whole thing up?
The boys analyse a victory against Ipswich Town and encouraging debuts for Aaron Morley and James Trafford – and we look ahead to this weekend’s trip to Shrewsbury, and what team Ian Evatt might pick to keep the winning run going.
We launch a new game – Lloyd Quiz-Grove – and compete another round of Danny Shittu, the alphabet game that has taken the world/country/town/podcast by storm (delete as applicable).
If you want to get in contact with the show, please email thebuffmail@gmail.com or tweet Marc on @MarcIles.
And please leave us a good review, no matter which platform you are listening on. Apparently all the other buttons aside from five star are broken, so please don't try them...
