While it certainly wasn't a classic, United's 2-1 win at Braintree Town does mean that they will now officially extend their season into the play-offs - and with Boreham Wood only drawing at Truro, third place is looking more secure than ever.
With a top 7 finish now guaranteed, it's all steam ahead for that route straight into the play-off semi-finals, starting this weekend with a double-header against two of this season's strugglers, Gateshead and Morecambe - although one of them is in a fair bit better form than the other right now.
No Behind Enemy Lines this week, because you're getting it as a bonus stand alone episode on Sunday instead, as we catch up with Morecambe FC commentator Dave Salmon.
We look back on the win in Essex before previewing the Easter Weekend fixtures. Lots discussed in this episode, including:

We’re delighted to confirm that the Carlisle United Supporters Trust (CUST) will be sponsoring the Brunton Bugle once again this season.
CUST, formed originally in 2001 as CCUIST and later known as CUOSC, is the supporters' trust for Carlisle United. They are a community benefit society, with a one member-one vote democratic structure. They currently have 10% voting control of the club's holding company CUFC Holdings Ltd and are members of the Football Supporters' Association (FSA).
You can find out more about the Supporters Trust and how to join on their website www.cust.org.uk, or you can contact them on X at @CUFCTrust
As part of this sponsorship, we’ll be working closely with the Trust to provide some additional content this season – keep an eye out for these episodes soon!
-----------------
We've had a few people asking how they can contribute financially towards the pod over the last few seasons - we do this podcast because we love our club and are happy to do it for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution that can help towards hosting, online studio or equipment costs, we would be extremely grateful.
It would go a long way to help us keep providing content for the Blues fanbase across the world for the 2025-26 season!
You can now do this on our Ko-Fi page - ko-fi.com/bruntonbugle. Any donation is really appreciated!
