Show Notes
The Mariners unbeaten start to 2026 finally came to an end on Saturday, going down 3-1 at relegation threatened Bristol Rovers. Host Matt and the panel begin by dissecting that and the mid-week draw with Walsall before exploring our new Achilles heel of defending set-pieces, the impact squad rotation may have had on performances and how much we may rue points dropped against teams in the bottom half. The guys then discuss the biggest takeaways from the recent fans forum and have their say on the thorny issue of the Blundell Park pitch.
In Part Two Tom Wagstaff from the “Notts County Talk” Podcast joins the conversation to help preview Town’s trip to an in form Magpies side next Saturday and then the gang consider whether the play-offs are still a realistic aim for The Mariners with 14 games remaining.
