Bolton Wanderers are up and running in the Championship, with two wins so far in their return to the second division for the first time in seven years.

A lot of work was done this summer by Steven Schumacher and Fergal Harkin to prepare a team that would be ready for the step up from League One, with the transfer window seeing 13 players come through the doors at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

The Wanderers Director of Football, Harkin, has been giving his verdict on the window, the extended scouting network, and how relationships have helped to mould the squad Bolton have this season.
