We Are Going Up

With Mark back (just about in one piece) from Japan, the boys headed on down to a freezing cold Craven Cottage for a Bonfire Night clash between two of the Championship's struggling sides, Fulham and Blackpool.

After the debacle under Felix Magath, the Cottagers are rebuilding under new permanent boss Kit Symons, with four wins, two draws and two defeats in the last eight. Despite the absence of the suspended Ross McCormack, could they make it four home wins in a row against the Tangerines? You'll hear from the editor of the Fulham fanzine 'There's only one F in Fulham' David Lloyd, plus fans outside the ground.

As for Blackpool, it's been an absolute disaster so far. Bottom of the table with only one win in sixteen games, plus a second new manager...

Six Football League managers have bitten the bullet in just twelve days - Dougie Freedman, Billy McKinlay, Colin Cooper, Russ Wilcox, Rob Edwards and Nigel Worthington have all gone. The boys reconvene to discuss sacking season and a supposedly quiet 'international break'.

There's a new man in charge at the Macron Stadium. Neil Lennon was appointed as the new Bolton boss over the weekend, tasked with reversing a run that has seen the Trotters slump to the foot of the Championship table. We find out where Wanderers have been going wrong with radio host and big Bolton fan Darryl Morris (The Hits Radio). He also tells us how his Mum's trip to Asda went viral two weeks ago...

Elsewhere, we get the verdict on Rob Edwards' departure from Prenton Park with

This week the boys shine a light on three of the Football League's surprise packages so far this season: Charlton Athletic, Rochdale and Wycombe Wanderers.

The news was confirmed on Wednesday evening that Russell Slade had officially offered his resignation as Leyton Orient manager, presumably in order to go and take up the vacant managers position at Cardiff City. We catch up with the sports writer Terry Phillips, who covers the club for Media Wales, plus Paul Levy, co-host of the 'Orient Outlook Podcast'.

Listen to Mark get Paul's take on the background to Slade's departure, whilst Terry explains how it all went wrong in South Wales for former Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

In a slight change to our advertised plans, the boys take a Tuesday night trip down to the Cherry Red Records Stadium this week, as AFC Wimbledon welcome League Two table toppers Burton Albion.

It's been an underwhelming start by the Dons, with two wins, two draws and three defeats from their first seven games. Can their new strike partnership of Tubbs and Akinfenwa help them finally end their barren home run? You'll hear from AFC Wimbledon manager Neil Ardley, Geoff Hawley from Radio WDON and the beast himself.

As for Burton Albion, it's been a stunning start to the new season. Their 2-0 victory against York on Saturday took them three points clear at the top, with six league wins from seven -...

Despite the season being less than a month old, it's already chaos at Leeds United.

Following four defeats and four red cards in August, head coach David Hockaday was sacked, just seventy days after taking over at Elland Road. Their 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat by neighbours Bradford last week was the final straw, as Hockaday became the second boss fired in just four months by new 'president' Massimo Cellino.

In this special, we speak to Leon Wobschall, football writer at the Yorkshire Evening Post, to find out more about a crazy week at Elland Road. We also get an ex players perspective on things at Leeds from their former captain Dominic Matteo, plus learn more...

For our first live show of 2014/15, Mark and DC head to Kenilworth Road to see two of League Two's highly tipped promotion favourites go head to head, as Luton Town take on Bury.

The Hatters clinched promotion from the Conference as champions last season, after spending five long years in non league. Following their much publicised 30 point deduction from the FA in 2008/9, plus administration and countless relegations, we find out how their fans are feeling about their long awaited return - plus the job done by John Still.

As for Bury, it's been a mixed start to the new season, with one win, one loss and a harsh extra time Capital One Cup exit at the hands of Bolton. We catch up with Shakers chairman Stewart Day and hear about his plans to revolutionise the club, both on and off the field. We also assess the mood of the Shakers fans plus speak to
