The Buff's ultra-scientific, uber analytical League One prediction podcast
The boys also feign a vague interest in how everyone else is doing - and though Henry still thinks Cardiff City play at Ninian Park and has a worrying devotion to all things Peterborough and Yorkshire, we haven't been too far away with our predictions in the last few years,
Of course we tackle all the week's headlines from The Bolton News, including the official departure of George Thomason, the hunt for a new striker, Richard Taylor's injury and which puns are suitable to use now that Nathan Broome is not a trialist.
And we bite into the biggest issue of the day... Barmcakes, breadcakes, cobs and muffins. What are they, and why should we care?
Seriously, there is more football chat than we have summed up here but it's late, and I still have to edit the show...
But DO join our brand new EFL Fantasy League - details below - and revel in how many points Aaron Collins is going to score for us at MK Dons.

The Buff presents: What's the sound of one man podcasting?
Welcome back to The Buff Podcast - and this week it's an episode with a difference. With Henry Hewitt on fully paid paternity leave (don't tell Roy Keane) and Russ Pollitt doing a secret business deal in London, Marc had to get creative as he brings another hour-plus of Bolton Wanderers headlines and chat. So, in no particular order, we brought in some expert help to cover the topics that matter - welcome Alex Miller from the Sheffield Star, Doug O'Kane from the Barnsley Chronicle, Ethan Erhahon from the midfield engine room, head coach of the BWFC Women's team Myles Smith and Derek Clark, outside the men's lavvies in the West Stand. We also dabble with AI, answer your emails on wingers and the letter 'U' and we make some predictions about what will happen in Bolton's next two games. Co-host? We don't need no stinking co-host... PS - Hurry back Russ and H2, somebody called me 'Baldy' the other day on Twitter and it was really scary. To listen to The Buff Podcast on The Bolton News website, click play on the graphic below. Alternatively, you can have the podcast sent to your phone, tablet or laptop for free the moment it is released by subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google or any other major platform.

'We should have done better'
Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes believes his side "should have done better" after they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by Huddersfield at the first round stage. The Foxes led twice at the Accu Stadium, only to be pulled back by their League One opponents, and the 43-year-old spoke of his frustration after the game. "Disappointed in the performance, disappointed obviously in the final score and I think we should have done better, Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester. "Unfortunately, I think the first half was poor and we should never have conceded the two goals like we did. "My feeling in the first half was we were very slow - we spoke about it at half-time that against oppositions that perhaps are not that aggressive on the press we need to make sure that we move the ball quicker. "Unfortunately, we couldn't move the ball quick and then we went too long. "Every time we lost the ball we couldn't react quickly enough to regain the ball immediately and that created an up and down game."

How Rob Edwards approached Middlesbrough Rockliffe debrief after Doncaster defeat
ROB Edwards stressed the importance of finding the right balance at Rockliffe as the Middlesbrough head coach conducted a debrief yesterday to determine what went wrong in the Carabao Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers. Edwards' Boro got off to a fine start in the Championship when they beat Swansea City 1-0 but they were brought down to earth with a bump when they were thumped 4-0 by League One Donny on Tuesday night. Edwards pulled no punches in his assessment of the "unacceptable" performance immediately after the game, and described the loss as "painful". The head coach was brutally honest as he addressed his players in the Riverside dressing room after the game. and while Edwards and his staff intended to further analyse the cup tie yesterday and provide feedback to the squad on issues that need addressing, he was also keen to ensure Boro don't dwell on the defeat for too long, instead turning his attention to Saturday's league trip to Millwall. RECOMMENDED READING: Rav van den Berg reacts to Boro exit as transfer chief tells of 'long & hard' pursuit Middlesbrough injury update as one player in contention for Millwall return Full transfer details & background as Middlesbrough confirm fourth summer signing He said: "We have to be able to look forward. It was a painful night. "Football gives you highs and lows. We had a real high on Saturday and a real low tonight. "We're human beings, you're allowed to feel like that but we need to get ourselves back level again and pick ourselves up. "We'll learn from it." Edwards added: "We review it but sometimes you can dwell on things too long. "The players know. We'll pick out the bits we need to show but at the same time you can't just batter people because we need to pick players off the floor and go in in confident mood on Saturday. "We need to get the balance right." The next game is a tough one for Boro, with Millwall having won impressively at Norwich on the opening weekend before a 1-0 cup success at Newport on Tuesday night. Edwards said: "We need a few days to recover and learn and be prepared for the next one. "The beautiful thing with football is you get an opportunity quickly to turn things around. "We need to show the side of us that we saw on Saturday. Over a period of time now there's been too much inconsistency here. "We saw [against Doncaster] the real drop off that we can't have." Edwards made five changes in midweek but will almost certainly now revert back to the side that started against Swansea. Among the five players to come into the side against Doncaster were youngsters Law McCabe and George McCormick and new signing Abdoulaye Kante. While Edwards was disappointed with displays across the board, he knows patience is needed with players who lack experience at this level. He said: "It's hard to ask a lot of young George, and Law and Alpha were playing in there together for the first time and they're young players. "I thought they showed glimpses and some good moments of real quality but it was a tough night in the end. "They'll learn a lot from it. These are good young players who we have high hopes for. "The young ones are a little bit exempt from it in a way, they have to learn from it quick."
