Dan returns to the pod, United end their losing streak - surely no coincidence? Well hopefully it'll help this week too, as Dan is back again and United are aiming to get their first win in five games as Gillingham travel up to Brunton Park, following the stalemate against Colchester last weekend.

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the draw against the U's and look ahead to the visit of the Gills - plenty covered including:

The prodigal son returns! Yes, for the first time in quite a while, Dan is back on the pod... but unfortunately, there's not much positive to talk about as United slump to two consecutive defeats on the road to start the Mark Hughes reign. Can Sparky turn things around, or are the Blues doomed for the drop?

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the losses at Grimsby and Newport and look ahead to another big game at home against Colchester - plenty covered including:

Yes, you aren't mistaken - this is a very short episode of the Brunton Bugle! Unfortunately, Mike has been struck down by a bug after the Grimsby game and has lost his voice.

With no time to arrange a replacement, rather than letting an already arranged Behind Enemy Lines recording go to waste, we're bringing you a very truncated "mini-preview" episode.

Lee spoke to Ed from the excellent 1912 Exiles Podcast ahead of the trip to South Wales to face Newport - plenty of interesting stuff in there about how County are getting on this season, their recent shift in transfer policy and the improvements to the Rodney Parade pitch - well worth a listen ahead of the big game!

Thank you for your understanding and patience - normal service will resume for the Colchester preview! UTBs

The appointment has been made and Mark Hughes is the man given the task of keeping the Blues in League Two. Can the Welsh football legend keep United up, or is the task just too big?
