Progress With Unity Podcast #141: Bradford review, Swindon preview


Welcome back, surfers, to the PWU Better Grounds Guide. Still to come on today's show: the curious case of the missing Valley Parade toilet(s), plus a special report on what exactly goes into your hot chocolate - the results are surprisingly metallic. After that... *gurgle* ...uh oh, I knew I shouldn't have had that chicken balti pie for breakfast! Quick, Jim, take over presenting duties before the audience catches wind of this... quite literally. *BLURRRGLE*

This week we start with Adam and his straight off the terrace report on the Bradford game. We discuss the goals, cheating Bradford, contrasting style of play, the referee and some shocking facilities considering we were charged £25 for the privilege of going to Valley Parade.

We debate the FA cup draw, Bury away, not the most lucrative but hey we'll take it, then there is FC United's stand on the FA's decision to move their game with Chesterfield to a Monday night for TV coverage.

Mick delivers his low down on Swindon and we take a look at their recent form, Simon give us the latest odds on the game, plus what the bookies are offering on the Latics to get promoted, down to 8/1 now to finish top of the pile.

Unfortunately, due to a technical error (I don't know what I am doing!) the final 15 minutes including the predictions haven't been recorded, what's that you say, 'a blessing in disguise'!

Progress With Unity Podcast #140: Colchester and Peterborough reviews, Bradford preview


Greetings! I am a humble time traveller, and I bring you news from the future. Did you know that in 2013, Wigan Athletic will win the FA Cup? And that in 2014, they will sign the greatest striker known to (one) man, Grant Holt? And that in 2016, they will... [content censored]

(I had to do that for your own good. In fact, that piece of censored news has persuaded me to quit my job as a Wigan Athletic job description writer forever. Now bog off, you lot. -- Ed)

Well, he was rude, wasn't he? Never mind: I, Dan, will still be here.

...Wait, where are you going? Come back!

This week's crew in the studio are Gareth, Adam, Dan, Rob, Mick and Barry.

We start off with the Colchester 'Off The Terrace' report from Rob and the stats from the game.

What a game it was, on the day it all clicked, five goals, Donervon Daniels and Will Grigg getting a couple each and a Max Power special, brilliant stuff.

Another fantastic win on Tuesday, this time away at Peterborough, a long trip but well worth it with a five goal thriller, the Latics coming out on top, once again in dramatic circumstances. Yanic Wildschut, Grigg and Power all on the scoresheet.

Saturday and we're of to Bradford, Dan does a quick preview and a sickly Simon as sent us the bookies odds, 33/1 for the Latics to win 3-2, got to be worth a gamble!.

This episode was recorded on the 21st October 2015, 'Back To The Future' day, we reminisce about the Latics journey over the past 30 years.

Contents: Intros of future past (0:00); quietly jubilant Colchester review with Rob's Off The Terrace Report (3:00), Return of Yanic The Panic (8:00), unhappy with 5-0: betting woes (12:00);Peterborough review with Barry's heavily unedited From The Terrace Report (14:10), countrywide Latics (19:30), shocking Statmantistics (23:10), Holtmaster Weekly News (27:00); Bradford preview with Brad-facts sponsored by Bradford Airport (32:30), Statmanattack and Odds Checker (36:30); Back To The Latics Future (37:30); Brad's Ford predilections (43:35); behind the scenes at the Caldwell Fan Sites Forum (46:00)

Progress With Unity Podcast #139: Bury review, Colchester preview

I think you'd better do as he says - that's a pretty big gun he has there. (c)BBC

There it is, I saw it with my own eyes! Latics have played their first 'Bear Grylls' card of the season. Let me explain...

You're probably aware that Man vs Wild is no real representation of life in the wilderness, since 'Brother' Bear does most things because the director tells him to. In the fast-paced world of television, an instant catalyst such as this is needed to keep things interesting. In football, that catalyst is a red card... in this case, at Bury.

BOOM, two goals, could've been three. Now discuss at great length until your face is as blue as your shirt. PWU139: go.

This week's crew in the studio are Gareth, Adam, Kathryn, Rob, Simon and Barry.

We start off with the Bury 'Off The Terrace' report and the stats from the game.

What a game again for the travelling support, two goals, Grant Holt and Cisco Junior, no beer on sale, Flitcroft bemoaning the referee and Leon Barnett in comedy fall, it's all here.

We have Colchester at the DW Stadium on Saturday, Kathryn steps in for the poorly Dan and delivers his preview, in typical Dan style.

Simon gives us the bookies odds, this one is all about the Latics.

Peterborough away on Tuesday and Barry's done a preview, he's also making the long trip and hoping for the win!

Progress With Unity Podcast #138: Walsall and Crewe reviews, Bury preview


So much for a settled squad by October! Four debuts in the space of a week, not counting that ball boy? Well, if they're all as good as Yanic Wildschut, I say keep shipping 'em in!

This week's crew in the studio are Gareth, Dan, Adam, Mick, Rob, Paul and Barry.

Off the terrace report from the Walsall game is provided by Paul, it is fair to say he wasn't too impressed with referee Andy Haines.

The crew discuss the game, missed chances, refereeing decisions, red cards and a brilliant ball boy.

On Tuesday we were back on the Wembley trail as we visited Crewe in the JPT, Simon brings his straight off the terrace report to give us the low down on proceedings at Gresty Road.

What a goal from Yanic, Grant Holt is back and a Jordy Hiwula double, lots to talk about there.

We finish this week off with a look forward to the Bury game at the weekend, Adam does the preview, 9 goal Leon Clarke and an in-form Bury side hold no fears for our crew!

Contents: Speedy intros (0:00); angry Walsall review with Paul's illuminating on-the-whistle report (0:50), what is a red card in this crazy world? (5:00) Yanic Attack (13:50) and Ball Boy is Superman (18:00); Crewe View: John Stone's Paint Trophy assessment with Simon's report (23:30), the Road to Wembley 2016 & Holtmaster Comeback Trail Vol IV (27:20), Adam's shakin' preview (34:20) and optimistic predictions… optimictions?
