With 2200 games between them, they have seen a lot - from Premier League to Non-League, countless players and staff, as well as millions of miles travelled across the length and breadth of English football. Not to mention all the training sessions, video sessions, S&C programmes, team meetings, pre-season trips and so on! There’s even a fair few pre-seasons to be reflected upon
Each episode we will cover topics that perhaps most fans would like to know the reasons behind why certain things go on in football clubs -selections, injuries, transfers, results, etc. We will look to give you, the listener the context to bridge the gap between what you might think is going on and what actually is!
