It might not have been pretty - but Bolton Wanderers beat Crawley with a brand new gameplan which lifts them into mid-table ahead of Tuesday's trip to Northampton Town.

Kyle Dempsey and John McAtee scored the goals in a gritty win, which was most un-Ian Evatt like.

We hear from the Wanderers boss on his thought process, from goal-scorer McAtee on his partnership with Aaron Collins, and from Buff boys Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt, who give their thoughts on the game too.

The Buff is on an away day all this week, having already rubbed shoulders with Theo Walcott, Charlie George and Gunnersaurus at Arsenal, it's time for the road less travelled...

Trips to Crawley Town and Northampton Town are coming up and Ian Evatt could certainly do with a couple of wins to push Wanderers up the table and create some real momentum after the 5-2 win against Reading.

We look at the midweek cup exit at the Emirates and ask whether it will really have any lasting effect on the players, wonder what toll all the travelling could take, and whether the decision to swap captains could help or hinder the individuals concerned.

Of course, we read out your emails, play a round of Gavin McCann, Gavin McCan't, and consult the crystal balls to guess how Bolton will fare in the next two games.

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a chance to review a night out at one of the Premier League big boys, Arsenal.

Well, it didn't all go according to plan, and a handful of errors helped the Gunners record a comprehensive 5-1 win but did it matter? And does it affect Crawley on Saturday?

Marc Iles talks you through the night's narrative and is joined by Buff co-host Henry Hewitt for his view on 90 minutes.

We also have interviews from Ian Evatt and goalscorer Aaron Collins.
