Progress With Unity Podcast #172: Forest review, QPR preview

TRUSTED SOURCES: PWU Sports Snooze to continue churning out more nonsensical transfer speculation, at least until the window closes. In the meantime, please bear with our feline caterwauling and blatant listenerbaitism.

UNTRUSTED SOURCES: This podcast may soon be renamed the V**** W**** Podcast.

SCHLOSSES: Sell great souvenir shortbread biscuits. Apologies if you aren't German and don't get the joke - console yourself in the fact it's so bad that German speakers won't either.

Hey, at least I didn't mention Heinz...

Podcast time again folks, we start off with news about the FAB meeting in September, have your say and apply today!

Extended stats of the Forest game, courtesy of Gareth, Si's Off The Terrace report and Gary Caldwell's ridiculous defending critique give us plenty to chew over, and chew we do.

Tim Chow off? Callum Paterson coming in? Will Grigg withdrawing (or not)?
Vladimir Stojkovic or Richard Kingson, who's bad?

A lot more to get stuck into.
QPR are in town on Saturday, we take a look at the opponents, match referee and odds for the game.

We finish off with a look back at the Olympics in a bit of a strange way. Go! GB, Go!

Progress With Unity Podcast #171: Blackburn and Birmingham reviews, Forest preview

In any game of football, there are three possible outcomes: home win, away win, draw. In mathematical terms, this gives you a 1/3 chance of winning.

But mathematics is, of course, nonsense. If it were so reliable, we wouldn't need a stat man to correct its mistakes.

Cue Fantasy Football style chants of 'Statman! Statman!' from the gallery

However, the troublesome law of averages seems to have applied itself to Latics' first three games of the season, which have included one win, one loss and one draw.

As tribute, we now present a special edition of PWU Win, Lose or Draw! And heeeere's your host - Barry Slattery...

What a seven days since the last PWU Podcast, two games, four goals, four points and three new signings, including the return of the one, the only Jordi Gomez.

We set this week of with a look back at the Blackburn game, lots to talk about, goals, performances, Nick Powell in particular.

Birmingham is next up, again absolutely tons to get through, goals, off sides, penalties, officials, performances, stats – 71% possession, Luke Burke looking good again, Warnock and Powell outstanding.

New signings, Shaun MacDonald, Luke Garbutt and Jordi Gomez, is that it or will there be more? We have a bit of gossip, well it's sort of, well it's speculation, but there is a name and he is a striker.

We finish off with a Nottingham Forest preview, looking forward to a good game at the City Ground, hopefully we will get our away days up and running with a positive result.

Progress With Unity Podcast #170: Bristol City and Oldham review, Blackburn and Birmingham preview

Did the season start yet? Did we lose on Saturday and get dumped out of the League Cup on Tuesday?

Did Will Grigg snatch the Golden Boot? Did Wigan Athletic effortlessly ride a flaming Segway through (almost) all terrified defences on their way to the league title?

Did they beat Preston 5-0 and Blackburn 8-0? Did that freshly-painted open top bus pass through Hindley and Higher Ince on its way to Believe Square?

No? Then wake me up when it all happens, and not a second later. Cheers!

Two games into the new season and two 2-1 defeats. Similar start to the last campaign and look how that turned out!

Quite a bit going on this episode, we have a review of Bristol City to start with, including ref watch and off the terrace report.

Ins and outs at the club, things are starting to happen.

Do you know we haven't won a game in the League Cup since September 2012? That fact didn't change this week with defeat at Oldham, Will Grigg got his season opener, Jake Buxton got a red card and Simon gave us another off the terrace report.

We have a Blackburn preview, there is a rant about season tickets and we finish off with a quick look forward to the visit of Birmingham on Tuesday

Progress With Unity Podcast #169: Bristol City preview, season preview

That's it, silly season's over. No more frivolous gossip and unnecessary gumph to pad out the whole hour we've been allocated by the powers that be. No more obsessing over the super-minutiae. No more watching BT Sport's Betfred Cup and wishing it actually counted for more than a hastily-scribbled beer IOU.

But fret not, dear reader, for there are only about 32 PWU episodes to endure before you can experience it all again! By that time, Wigan Athletic will have been promoted from the Championship, picking up both the League Cup and FA Cup along the way...⸮

A brand new season, a new division but the same old podcast, well we've got to keep some continuity.

Back off our hols, batteries recharged and raring to go, the crew are in the studio looking forward to an exciting nine months, come what may.

We have a preseason review, a chat about the new players and a bit of transfer gossip.

We look forward to the opening game at Bristol City and discuss the fact that there will be professional, full time match officials this season in the Championship, hopefully we will see an improvement in the standard of referees.
