We made it harder than we needed to, but in the end it was all quite easy for United. They cruised to a 0-0 draw at Vale Park, giving them the point they needed to confirm survival for a fourth season in League One, no matter what results elsewhere were. Jules, Matt and Tom get together for the last review show of the year to talk a little bit about the very little that happened in the game, and touch on Monk's time at the Abbey so far and the imminent retained list.

It's the last Preview Show of the year, and just when we thought we might be able to preview a totally meaningless end of season fixture, the U's get up to their old tricks again. Jord and Jules look back at Tuesday's draw against Wycombe which means that United still need something at Vale on Saturday, or results to go their way, to survive. They're joined by the Ale and the Vale podcast to preview our opponents.

Three to go, and still survival to play for. Can the U's complete the job on Saturday against promotion-chasing Derby County against all odds? On the second to last Preview Show of the season, Jordan and Tom aim to answer that question with the help of Rams podcast Steve Bloomer's Washing, as well as looking back at Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers.

The U's trip to the seaside wasn't as fruitful as we were hoping as they come back with zero points, despite a decent display. Tom and Jules belatedly manage to get their schedules right to sit down and talk through the performance, the relegation picture, and the update on the youth contracts.

A long but eagerly anticipated trip to the North West coast awaits the U's, and the UTAS boys are as excited as anyone to join the Amber nation making the journey to the seaside. To preview Blackpool away, Jack Swindlehurst managed to infiltrate Monk's press conference to hear the team news first hand, and Jules chatted to his mate from work and tangerine expert Jack Fallon to play a game of pub landlord or PE teacher. It'll all make sense when you listen.
