Pilgrims Podcast

In this episode, we break down the 2-0 loss at home to Ipswich Town, exploring the positives of the first half and questioning what changed at halftime. We delve into the unfortunate first goal and the team's reaction, unpack post-match press conference comments, fan disconnect, and the current state of Home Park's attacking football brand.

We then assess the team's form, pondering if the defensive approach stifles our attacking threat. Is shock justified, or did we foresee this dip in performance a few weeks ago? Plus, a quick look at players with limited game time. We then shift focus to Shef Wed and round things off with a quiz.

Hot off the press, we celebrate the standout away performance of the season with our impressive 2-0 victory at Middlesbrough. The panel showers praise on all involved, giving a special nod to the stellar "old guard" players like Randell and Houghton.

Next, we dive into the abject WBA defeat and the post-match online meltdown. The episode takes a closer look at the aftermath of midweek and impact on both the team and its passionate fanbase.

Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming clash with familiar foes, Ipswich Town. And Mark is back as the host for the quiz!
