Bolton Wanderers are on their way to familiar foes Barnsley, and we have got the very latest from the Wanderers camp to fill the trip to Oakwell.

Sit back and listen to Steven Schumacher talking about last season's disappointment, the rebuilding plan, how he wasn't too disheartened by the midweek defeat against Sheffield Wednesday and why set pieces are still very important to him.

George Johnston also gives his view on the game, his new role in the squad, and why two wins out of two don't necessarily paint the whole picture for today's opposition.

We also speak to Doug O'Kane from the Barnsley Chronicle about Connor Hourihane's quiet revolution in South Yorkshire and why John McAtee hasn't quite translated across the Pennines (yet).
