The season is here... Is it OK to be optimistic now?

The Buff

THE new season is upon us - and we plan to podcast about it!

Wanderers have been busy in the transfer market on the eve of the new League One campaign and their opening game at Leyton Orient.

Jay Matete, Jordi Osei-Tutu have already signed up and John McAtee was on the cusp as we recorded this episode on Friday.

We talk about what each deal means and whether Ian Evatt now has a squad that is capable of getting automatic promotion.

Marc and Henry review all the week's headlines in The Bolton News and Gavin McCann/McCan't makes an impromptu comeback to the running order, like a prime Darren Pratley at Fleetwood in 2017.

Prediction time also returns... But will the boys back Wanderers for a first league win since 1990? Listen and find out.

It's first, not last... A grown up's podcast.
