Progress With Unity Podcast #185: Barnsley review, Huddersfield preview

"For this statue, we give thanks."

Bet you wish you live in America right now, don't you? Not because you would be enjoying a tax-free Thursday off work, but because you would be as far away from those irritating Lancastrian podcast guys as possible.

...Sorry for the '70s joke (again). Have this statue of the PWU crew fighting over the mic as compensation.

-- 'Part Time' Dan

Barnsley stats and Si's OTTR, stupid support, great support, no strikers and daft subs, no goals, injured keeper, floodlight fire, motorway madness, just another day following the tics.

Luke Burke gets a new deal and Joe Parky gets the boot.

Huddersfield away, preview, Odds Checker and predictions.

Will Grigg must start, please Warren give us our Will.

Progress With Unity Podcast #184: Bobby Campbell tribute, Barnsley preview

This week's usual flavour text has been expunged, not because it's been international week and I can't think of anything to write about, but as a mark of respect to the sadly departed Bobby Campbell.

*Above image certainly not from Campbell's 'mellow years'

A large part of this week's podcast is dedicated to the legend that is Bobby Campbell who sadly passed away on Tuesday.

Paul Firth, the author of Bobby's footballing biography joins us to celebrate his career reminiscing about his time at both the Latics and Bradford City.

We take a look ahead to the game on Saturday away at Barnsley, hopefully we can pull a result out of the bag.

Progress With Unity Podcast #183: Reading review

Hear those endless groans of painful discontent? 

...That’s actually my stomach doing its best wolfman impressions.

But don’t worry - it isn’t about to throw its shop-fresh 2011 replica shirt onto the DW pitch after the first Notts County goal hits the net. Neither will it toss its season card at the Kittywake barge passing under that rickety iron bridge.

I would have given a different answer to the question 'what's that sound?' if you’d asked me in ES6 on Saturday afternoon. And I have a different answer still if you’re presently listening to this week’s PeeDubya Podcast.

What a terrible start to Warren Joyce's reign as the boss of Wigan Athletic.

Two goals down inside the first six minutes and a display as bad as we've given for a couple of seasons, just what happened there?

A manager must wear a suit. No, he can wear a tracksuit, shorts and socks or even a tutu if he gets the results coming in, what's your opinion?

Will Grigg, just what is going on there?

This week there appears to be more questions than answers.

Great win away at Cardiff on Saturday, Adam gives us the low down on what went down including tales of Swansea fans in the Latics end, we're their second team now apparently.

Talking of seconds, Warren Joyce will be the second Latics boss this season and were only in November, the 2nd, lots of 2's there. Will he be bringing anyone with him from United? We speculate!

Reading on Saturday, Ali Al Habsi will be back, but we have Adam Le Fondre to counter that, grab a listen to the preview.
We finish off with a congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Conroy.
