In this week's episode, Neno is joined by Max and Caz to discuss another hapless home defeat, this time to local-ish rivals Swindon Town. Ben Garner's men showed Rovers what they could have had in another life with a dominant 3-1 victory at the memorial stadium.

The gang go over their pros and cons for the game, and look at where it all went wrong - again! Max fortifies his "Barton out" stance, Neno is baffled by the lack of pace, and Caz thinks Wael is hesitant to pull the trigger again too early.

With GasCast switching to a weekly format, we can bring you all the misery and apathy on a more regular basis. Thanks so much for tuning in, and up the Gas!

In this jam-packed episode Max is joined by Mets and Neno to discuss the big question on everyone's mind: Barton in or Barton out? A defeat on the road before a 3-1 loss at home to Leyton Orient has the Rovers manager teetering on the brink following his summer overhaul, with Rovers down in 22nd place in League Two.

Mets talks about the bad form of Mark Hughes and Nick Anderton, whilst Neno praises Saunders as Rovers best attacking outlet - Max can't get his head around this season's tactics or game-plan. 

The boys also talk about club president Wael Al-Qadi and the general direction of the football club, poor attendances, and general apathy before looking ahead to the Walsall game.

A quiet few weeks at the Gas leave the lads with little to talk about in this week's episode. With the club in crisis mode on the dawn of the new season, Max, Mets and Harley go over how the latest allegations around Joey Barton will affect the playing squad going into the opening game at Mansfield.

The atmosphere at the club, the boardroom response, and repercussions on results are all discussed. After talking about the news off the field, the lads turn their attentions to Rovers chances of storming L2 this season, with a strong variety of opinions on the Pirates chances of bouncing straight back up.

In addition, the GasCast crew discuss six new signings. Harley swoons over Luke Thomas, Mets reiterates concerns over Rovers' defence going into the season, and Max thinks another opening day defeat is on the cards.

Three players in and three players out makes it a busy June for the GasCast crew to recap, and yet all Max, Neno, and Mike want to talk about is the Euros! They put aside their three lions bucket hats and red-and-white facepaint for an hour or so to drop the euphoria of following England and delve waist-deep back into the aftermath of a relegation they'd soon all forget.

With Joey Barton ramping up preparations for the 2021/22 campaign, three new additions as well as the aforementioned departures make for interesting conversation. Mike thinks Saunders could be a potential gem, Neno isn't getting carried away after last summer, and Max talks up Aaron Collins.

The lads also discuss any further potential outgoings, as well as Barton's "8-9 more" signings that surely will come in July. There's even room at the end for a bit of Euros chat - they just couldn't help themselves could they?
