Welcome back to the League One Lowdown podcast on The Deck Network! In the first proper review show of 2026, Jeremy Johnson and Seb Jones sit down to dissect a chaotic week of football. From off-the-field financial drama to crucial goals in the promotion race, we cover it all. 📝 In This Episode Cardiff City's Financial Woes & Embargo We kick off the show discussing the breaking news surrounding Cardiff City. The Bluebirds failed to submit their accounts by the December 31st deadline, resulting in a transfer embargo. We analyze the club's statement, the potential impact on their January recruitment strategy, and what this means for players looking to move to the Welsh capital. Match Review: Cardiff City 1-1 Leyton Orient A tale of two strikers at the Cardiff City Stadium. We break down the draw that saw impressive goals from both Ballard and Salic. Plus, we discuss that shocking error from goalkeeper Nathan Trott and whether Orient are turning a corner in their fight for survival. Match Review: Luton Town 2-1 Stevenage Luton Town continue their resurgence at Kenilworth Road, making it 10 games unbeaten at home. We discuss the Hatters' second-half comeback, the controversial penalty incident involving Jordan Clark, and why Stevenage's defensive shape collapsed after a dominant first hour. Match Review: Peterborough United 3-1 Bolton Wanderers Is Steven Schumacher under pressure? Peterborough United put Bolton to the sword with a dominant attacking display. We analyze Posh's bounce-back ability under Luke Williams and debate whether Bolton's current slump—and lack of clinical finishing—requires a change in the dugout or just investment in the January window. Match Review: Stockport County 1-0 Huddersfield Town A 96th-minute winner from Andresen keeps Stockport firmly in the automatic promotion hunt. We discuss the impact of substitutes Jid Akeke and Tayo Edun, and look at how injuries have affected both squads in a tight contest at Edgeley Park. FA Cup Round-Up We wrap up by looking at the League One sides in FA Cup action, including Doncaster's spirited fightback against Southampton, Exeter City's heavy defeat to Manchester City, and a preview of Barnsley’s daunting trip to Anfield to face Liverpool. ⏱️ Timestamps Cardiff City’s off the field struggles: 1.20 Bluebirds draw with Leyton Orient: 6.12 Luton Town beat determined Stevenage: 13.26 Peterborough United crush out of form Bolton Wanderers: 20.54 Late winner for Stockport County vs Huddersfield Town: 29.15 League One clubs have varied fortunes in FA Cup: 36.06 🔗 Links & Socials Subscribe to The Deck Network: https://thedeck.news/ https://thedeck.news/league-one-table/ https://thedeck.news/league-one-news/ Follow us on Twitter/X: https://x.com/thedeckefl Listen on Spotify/Apple Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zsOfUqewGsGHFosZuuKnO #LeagueOne #EFL #CardiffCity #TransferNews #LutonTown #PeterboroughUnited #BoltonWanderers #StockportCounty #FACup #FootballPodcast #TheDeckNetwork Learn more about your ad choices.
