  • Gillingham (H) Review and Barrow (A) Preview - Season 24/25, Episode 54
    Feb 26 2025

    Two games unbeaten for the Blues, but it's another bore-draw as Mark Hughes still searches for his first win in-charge of the club. Is it another step in the right direction, or are three points more important than marginal gains right now?.


    In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by guest host Nick to review the draw with Gillingham, before looking ahead to the Thursday night trip down the Cumbria coast to face Barrow - lots discussed including:

    In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the draw against the U's and look ahead to the visit of the Gills - plenty covered including:

  • Grimsby Town and Newport County (A) Reviews and Colchester United (H) Preview - Season 24/25, Episode 52
    Feb 14 2025

    The prodigal son returns! Yes, for the first time in quite a while, Dan is back on the pod... but unfortunately, there's not much positive to talk about as United slump to two consecutive defeats on the road to start the Mark Hughes reign. Can Sparky turn things around, or are the Blues doomed for the drop?


    In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the losses at Grimsby and Newport and look ahead to another big game at home against Colchester - plenty covered including:

  • Mini Newport County (A) Preview - Season 24/25, Episode 51
    Feb 11 2025

    Yes, you aren't mistaken - this is a very short episode of the Brunton Bugle! Unfortunately, Mike has been struck down by a bug after the Grimsby game and has lost his voice.


    With no time to arrange a replacement, rather than letting an already arranged Behind Enemy Lines recording go to waste, we're bringing you a very truncated "mini-preview" episode.


    Lee spoke to Ed from the excellent 1912 Exiles Podcast ahead of the trip to South Wales to face Newport - plenty of interesting stuff in there about how County are getting on this season, their recent shift in transfer policy and the improvements to the Rodney Parade pitch - well worth a listen ahead of the big game!


    Thank you for your understanding and patience - normal service will resume for the Colchester preview! UTBs
