    Target Practise

    This week it’s the turn of Adam Howard to host the show again and he does so in exemplary fashion looking back at the big talking points coming out of BP from over the last seven days; our Fourth Round Carabao Cup draw against Brentford, Cam Gardner’s lengthy injury lay off and the emphatic win over managerless Cheltenham. The guys discuss the stunning strikes of Jamie Walker as he stakes a claim for a regular starting spot, our relentless attacking play despite two sending’s off for the Robins and a welcome return for fans favourite Jason Dadi Svanthorsson. In Part Two, friend of the pod and Salford devote, Danny Shepherd joins the conversation to help preview The Mariners trip to The Ammies next weekend; surely it couldn’t be an early promotion “six pointer”?! +++   Hosted by Adam Howard with guests George Mann, Helen Walker and Danny Shepherd.

    Wake Me Up When September Ends

    It was a week of mixed emotions for the travelling Town faithful with success on the road at Hillsborough on Tuesday night, claiming another scalp in the Carabao Cup – this time Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, but then a humbling 3-0 defeat at Barnet in the league on Saturday, our first away from home all season. The guys begin by commending the players after prevailing in an unusual game and atmosphere mid-week but then turn their attentions to the more worrying display on Saturday and one that David Artell described as “abject”. Why is there a downward trend in performances? How much are we contributing to our own downfall? And how much do we miss the influential Kieran Green when he’s unavailable? In Part Two, journalist Jon Palmer from Gloucester Live joins the show to help preview the visit of bottom club, and now manager-less, Cheltenham Town to Blundell Park next weekend. +++   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, Dave Laister (Pod Debut!) and Jon Palmer Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus   Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.com Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com     Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes     Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify   Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilvers Graphics - Liam McLennan Photography - Jon Corken +++ Hosted on Acast.

    Out Of Nothing

    The Mariners were left frustrated by stubborn opposition for a second home game running on Saturday, Justin Amaluzor’s injury time equaliser rescuing a point against Cambridge Utd. The panel dissect a disjointed performance devoid of any real quality and debate whether it was “just one of those days” or if there are any underlying concerns with our performances at home. They then discuss Artell’s and the players in game management, whether there is a perceived lack of a Plan B at present and how much another poor reffereeing display contributed to our downfall. In the second half of the show the guys turn their attention to Tuesday nights 3rd Round Carabao Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday, a club currently in turmoil on and off the pitch and then Bees fan and sports writer Trevor Knell joins the conversation to help preview Town’s trip to newly promoted Barnet on Saturday… +++   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Trevor Knell.

    Lording It

    Usual host Chris is away this week so Steven Young has the questionable honour of being in the hot seat and wastes no time getting down to business and discussing a busy week for The Mariners, on and off the pitch. The sides statement 3-2 win at MK Dons on Saturday rightfully takes centre stage but the controversial defeat at Bradford mid-week in the EFL Trophy, deadline day signings, the club’s fine for fielding an ineligible player against Man Utd and Jason Stockwood being appointed Minister of Investment are all topics covered... Just don’t ask Charles his opinion on the club that shouldn’t be named! Then, in Part Two, Tom Walker from the brilliant “Under the Abbey Stand” Podcast joins the guys to help preview the visit of Cambridge on Saturday and provides in depth insight on The U’s... +++   Hosted by Steven Young with guests Matt Dannatt, Charles Lumley and Tom Walker.

    The Hangover

    After their cup heroics against Man Utd mid-week, Town were brought back to earth with a bump on Saturday; visitors Bristol Rovers inflicting The Mariners first defeat in all competitions this season. The panel start by dissecting a perhaps understandable lethargic first half display and then discuss the impact substitutes George McEachran and Darragh Burns had on a much improved second half performance which saw Town do everything but score an equaliser. They then touch on the circus surrounding the Utd win and its likely effects on the players, a questionable refereeing display and the positives to take into the second month of the season. In part two the team speculate as to what deadline day business the club might do on Monday and which areas of David Artell’s squad still need strengthening, if any! And they finish by looking ahead to another test of the teams progress at big spending MK Dons next weekend... +++   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Jason Sadler and Helen Walker.

    If The Kids Are United

    The Mariners were on the road twice this week and followed up an impressive win at last seasons beaten play-off finalists Walsall in mid-week with a hard earned point at Accrington on Saturday. However, the guys begin by discussing what might have been in the latter game, Town again rueing missed chances and another missed penalty before allowing their lesser opponents a route back into the game. Is the lack of a ruthlessness becoming an issue for the team or is it a good sign we're creating chances consistently? The panellists then revel in the resolute Walsall win and another MOTM performance from fans favourite Kieran Green. In Part Two, Keane Frayney from the ‘Talking Devils’ podcast joins the show to help preview Grimsby’s 2nd round Carabao Cup tie against Premier League giants Manchester United on Wednesday and rates Town’s chances of a potential upset… If the kids are united? It's a big if... +++   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, Adam Howard and Keane Frayney.

    Mentality Monsters

    Grimsby kept up their unbeaten start to the season with two more home wins this week, first putting Shrewsbury to the sword in the Carabao Cup and then beating Newport in the league with goals in the very first and last minute of the game bookending another confident display. The guys start by discussing the strength and depth of the squad, the pleasing impact fringe players and substitutes are starting to have and how missing that clinical edge nearly came back to bite us on Saturday. Talk then turns to stand out individual performances, such as that of match winner Kieran Green who is the physical embodiment of the teams never say die attitude and then the small matter of drawing Man Utd in the second round of the cup! In Part Two, EFL pundit Ed Walker joins the show to help preview The Mariners next two games against Walsall and Accrington and then gives his opinion on how Artell’s men have started the campaign, which Town player he is most excited about and which teams in League Two have impressed, disappointed and surprised him the most so far. +++   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Ed Walker Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus   Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.com Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com     Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes     Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify   Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilvers Graphics - Liam McLennan Photography - Jon Corken +++ Hosted on Acast.
