If the away defeat to Cardiff exposed the most challenging aspects of the previous head coach’s approach, the 1-1 home draw in the six-pointer against a dogged Cardiff perhaps did the same for Miron Muslic.

A Pilgrims Podcast full house gathers to review an underwhelming home performance. There is some debate on the how and the why – not enough football played, too much football attempted? – but the chance to draw clear of the relegation places, at least for one day, was just taken. The limitations of the coach, team, and system are all reviewed as, through gritted teeth, perhaps (a big perhaps) this may prove to be a vital point.

In Part 2, the rest of the season comes into focus—firstly in general terms and then with a spotlight on the upcoming fifth-round cup tie in Manchester. Is the cup a huge opportunity, a distraction, or is it both? There is then discussion of a reassuring fans' forum and a reminder that, off the pitch at least, things seem stable once more and heading in the right direction—even if, in the short term, that will most likely be in as few passes as possible.

Finally, look out in the week for some stellar guests in upcoming Cup Specials.
