    Disappointment & The Great Escape - League One Preview

    Join hosts Callum and Sam as they dive into the crucial fixtures shaping the top and bottom of the table as we head into the business end of the season. In this episode, the lads up the ante with quick-fire predictions, spending just three minutes on each massive weekend matchup. We cover everything from Lincoln City's incredible home form and title charge to the mounting pressure at Northampton Town. We also ask the tough questions: Why are Stockport struggling to find their rhythm? Can Bolton salvage their automatic promotion hopes? And is the great escape actually on for Port Vale? Matches Previewed in This Episode: Leyton Orient vs. Barnsley: Orient looks to bounce back from recent home struggles against a Barnsley side finding it tough on the road. Northampton Town vs. Peterborough United: Posh aims to capitalise on Northampton's three-game losing streak in this rivalry clash. Wycombe vs. Burton: A test of consistency as Wycombe chases the playoffs and Burton looks to build a buffer from the drop zone. Doncaster vs. Cardiff: Cardiff hopes to bounce back from a shocking five-goal defeat against an in-form Doncaster. Lincoln vs. Blackpool: The Imps look to defend their near-flawless home record against an incredibly hot-and-cold Blackpool side. Wigan vs. Huddersfield: We question how Huddersfield maintains their playoff spot despite their dreadful away form. Stevenage vs. Stockport: The lads discuss Stockport's disappointing recent run and their lack of a clear play style. Rotherham vs. Plymouth: The free-scoring, playoff-chasing Pilgrims visit a Rotherham side devoid of confidence. Port Vale vs. Luton Town: Bottom-of-the-table Port Vale host a Luton side currently suffering a six-game losing streak away from home. Mansfield vs. Wimbledon: Mid-table Wimbledon face a Mansfield side that might be distracted by upcoming cup fixtures. Exeter vs. Bolton: Bolton desperately needs to stop drawing games to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. Reading vs. Bradford: Reading aims to sneak into the final playoff spot with a vital home win. Plus, we share some podcast news! We bid a temporary farewell to Callum as he takes a leave of absence, and we introduce Jaden—our new co-host who will finally bring some Southern representation to the pod.
