Bolton Wanderers remain firmly in the promotion race after a dramatic week that delivered tension, talking points and late drama.

We react to the hard-earned point away at Lincoln, asking whether it was a point gained or two dropped in the automatic promotion battle. From Jack Bonham’s standout performance to Dalby’s knack for late moments, we break down the tactical switches, key duels, and what it means being six points off with games ticking down.

Attention then turns to the 96th-minute equaliser against Reading — does it preserve momentum or mask a missed opportunity? We debate clinical edge, game management, and whether this was a damaging weekend in the wider promotion picture.

Finally, it’s the big one: Ian Evatt returns with Blackpool. We preview an emotionally charged clash at the Toughsheet, discuss the likely reception, and ask whether sentiment must be parked in a must-win fixture. With automatic promotion still within reach, how big is this game really?

Plus: news round-up, season ticket milestone, team of the week mentions, trivia, and fantasy league updates.

Love Is in the Air (and So Are the Whites) ❤️

Bolton Wanderers are giving fans plenty to fall in love with once again. A dramatic 3–2 Valentine’s week victory over Barnsley makes it four wins on the bounce, keeps the Whites third, and adds even more belief to a growing promotion push.

We look back at the goals, the drama, and the moments that made hearts race, before turning our attention to a huge Valentine’s date away at second-place Lincoln. With the gap at the top there to be closed, we preview a massive night under the lights and ask just how much Bolton can take from this run of form.

The January transfer window is shut and Bolton Wanderers now know exactly what they’ve got for the business end of the season. With the squad set and momentum building, we break down a big week for the Whites as attention turns fully to the promotion run-in.

We react to Bolton’s away win at AFC Wimbledon, analysing a controlled performance, standout debuts from the new signings, and what it says about Bolton’s growing resilience on the road. There’s also discussion around McAtee’s influence, Corey Blackett-Taylor’s impressive first outing, and whether this felt like a proper promotion-chasing display.

Elsewhere, we round up deadline day business, key League One moves, Wanderers’ completed deals, and what Schumacher’s final squad balance looks like now the window is closed. We also look ahead to Bolton vs Barnsley, asking whether this is a statement opportunity at home and how the new arrivals could shape the game.

Plenty to unpack as the season moves into a decisive phase.
