January 11, 2026 Embarrassing Cardiff City, Bolton Crisis - Latest EFL League One Review
Welcome back to the League One Lowdown podcast on The Deck Network!
In the first proper review show of 2026, Jeremy Johnson and Seb Jones sit down to dissect a chaotic week of football. From off-the-field financial drama to crucial goals in the promotion race, we cover it all.
📝 In This Episode
Cardiff City's Financial Woes & Embargo We kick off the show discussing the breaking news surrounding Cardiff City. The Bluebirds failed to submit their accounts by the December 31st deadline, resulting in a transfer embargo. We analyze the club's statement, the potential impact on their January recruitment strategy, and what this means for players looking to move to the Welsh capital.
Match Review: Cardiff City 1-1 Leyton Orient A tale of two strikers at the Cardiff City Stadium. We break down the draw that saw impressive goals from both Ballard and Salic. Plus, we discuss that shocking error from goalkeeper Nathan Trott and whether Orient are turning a corner in their fight for survival.
Match Review: Luton Town 2-1 Stevenage Luton Town continue their resurgence at Kenilworth Road, making it 10 games unbeaten at home. We discuss the Hatters' second-half comeback, the controversial penalty incident involving Jordan Clark, and why Stevenage's defensive shape collapsed after a dominant first hour.
Match Review: Peterborough United 3-1 Bolton Wanderers Is Steven Schumacher under pressure? Peterborough United put Bolton to the sword with a dominant attacking display. We analyze Posh's bounce-back ability under Luke Williams and debate whether Bolton's current slump—and lack of clinical finishing—requires a change in the dugout or just investment in the January window.
Match Review: Stockport County 1-0 Huddersfield Town A 96th-minute winner from Andresen keeps Stockport firmly in the automatic promotion hunt. We discuss the impact of substitutes Jid Akeke and Tayo Edun, and look at how injuries have affected both squads in a tight contest at Edgeley Park.
FA Cup Round-Up We wrap up by looking at the League One sides in FA Cup action, including Doncaster's spirited fightback against Southampton, Exeter City's heavy defeat to Manchester City, and a preview of Barnsley’s daunting trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

January 05, 2026 TITLE WINNING CREDENTIALS - EFL League One Review
Happy New Year! We are back earlier than scheduled with a BONUS episode to break down a chaotic Sunday of League One action (Jan 4th).
With Seb off, Jamie Johnson is joined by Callum Davis to dissect a massive weekend affecting both ends of the table. From Lincoln City’s stunning comeback to the "Tendai Darikwa Show," and the defensive frailties haunting Peterborough and Blackpool, we cover it all.
Plus, we look at the teams in freefall, the screamer from Lewis Wing, and why Huddersfield Town can’t stop drawing games.
IN THIS EPISODE:
The Tendai Darikwa Show (Lincoln 5-2 Peterborough) We analyze a wild game at the LNER Stadium. Lincoln came from behind to secure an 8th game unbeaten, fuelled by a bizarre injury stoppage to a linesman that allowed them to regroup. We discuss Darikwa’s "Brazilian full-back" performance, Rico Hackett’s influence, and why Posh’s defence was all at sea.
Blackpool Stumble vs Bradford (1-2) Blackpool’s resurgence hits a wall. We discuss the defensive mix-up that cost the Tangerines, Bradford’s clinical edge under Graham Alexander, and why this defeat might be of Blackpool's own making.
Argyle March On (Plymouth 3-0 Burton) Plymouth make it look easy with a clean sheet and set-piece dominance. We chat about Tolaj’s importance as the best striker in the league, the need for consistency, and Burton’s struggle for firepower.
The Draw Specialists (Huddersfield 2-2 Exeter) Huddersfield extend their unbeaten run to seven, but are they drawing too many? We look at the "score more than you" philosophy, defensive errors, and Exeter’s late equalizer.
Lewis Wing’s Rocket & The Dons in Crisis
Reading 1-0 Stockport: We break down Lewis Wing’s stunning long-range winner and discuss if Stockport have a mentality problem despite being in the playoffs.
Wycombe 2-0 Wimbledon: The Dons have only won 1 in 11. Are they in freefall? Meanwhile, Wycombe look like dark horses for the top six.
GET INVOLVED
Is Tolaj the best striker in the league?
Can Lincoln City crack the automatic promotion spots?
Are you worried about Wimbledon’s form?
