Nick and Stu look at where our season sits following one win in ten, and a deluge of injuries. We speak of defending set-pieces, substitutions, and entertainment value, before looking at the visit of Personsfield on Saturday, and playing a Jackson Five that takes us back to a different world (1995, to be precise).

Nick and Stu return to discuss a varied range of topics this week, in lieu of any goals. We do look at a couple of tactical points from the goalless draws with Carlisle and Northampton, but we also venture to such topics as power surges, PA decibels, referee abuse, Nathan Jones, Woolworths, HMV, and the statistically-interesting 1997-98 season. There’s even a mention of Chris’s favourite ever Wimbledon player. Can you guess who it is yet? Also, a quick preview of Saturday’s game with Hartlepool.

A few topics to discuss this week, but chiefly, the defeat at Leyton Orient. An unlucky defeat, but some talking points, including the options we now have within the squad. However, off the pitch, there were a couple of concerns, including tickets, and FA fines. They pale in comparison, mind, to the revelations in this week’s edition of On This Side Of It, and a startling reveal in Jackson Five …

No games to talk about, but Nick and Stu spend their time shooting the breeze over new signings, departures, tactics, postponements, Forest Green Rovers, Brentford, the women’s game, and the visit of Stockport this weekend. We also have another round of Jackson Five. A fun show as always, with real food for thought in the closing moments. Real food too – not whatever muck they eat at the aforementioned Forest Green ..

A broad range of topics on this week’s show. Chris Draper sits in for Stu to discuss the departures of Nathan Young-Coombes and Ayoub Assal (with a look at the comms regarding the latter’s recent absence); the ethics of accepting Qatari cash; the 0-0 draw with Bradford; whether some football songs should be retired; the sale of tickets to Leyton Orient away; our new signings; The Apprentice; and the forthcoming trip to Newport. A fun show, so check it out! YES WE KNOW EPISODE 308 NOT 307.

A 0-0 draw at Crewe, but despite a dull game, there were a good few talking points to emerge. Nick and Stu talk tactics before looking at finances, and possible January moves. We also revive On That Side Of It, as well as play Jackson Five and look ahead to the visit of Bradford City and return of Glyn Hodges. There’s also a moment of Lee Brown madness to analyse …

As Richard Madeley would say, ‘Welcome Back!’. After a brief hiatus, Nick and Stu are back to kick-off 2023 with a whirlwind of a show discussing first-team affairs. We look back over the festive games, from which we picked up four points from nine, with a particularly close look at the defeat at Sutton. We also ponder what happens to the squad in January, with four departures and one semi-arrival having already been announced. There’s also a tricky, if very very quick, game of Jackson Five with which to test your grey matter. It’s good to be back …

We have selection dilemmas on the horizon. How does a team, unbeaten in seven (or eight depending on your view of B-Team Trophies and/or penalty shoot-out losses), re-integrate a striker with a knack of scoring goals without disrupting form and momentum? Or is it quite easy as the unbeaten run actually masks some rather dire performances? Nick and Stu discuss that, as well as whether Ayoub Assal is a million-pound player or not.
