Town’s unbeaten start to 2026 continues and the guys return to catch up on back to back league and cup wins at Blundell Park. The panel dissect the heard earnt 3-2 FA Cup win over a determined Weston Super Mare side and the resulting 4th Round draw against another Premier League opponent. And then they turn their attentions to the 1-0 win over Barnet, their 4th unbeaten in the league and their 4th consecutive clean sheet, but it wouldn’t be the EFL without another controversial refereeing decision to debate. The conversation then inevitably drifts to the January transfer window and the business David Artell has done thus far, with 3 loan incomings and 1 outgoing to discuss, most notably the return of former Mariner and experienced talisman, Andy Cook.

In Part Two of the episode, journalist Jon Palmer returns to the show to give his customary in depth insight on Town’s next opponent Cheltenham and explains how their fortunes have changed drastically since the sides last met in September...

The Mariners recorded three clean sheets, two wins and a draw over the Christmas and New Year games providing a late stocking filler for the Town faithful. Chris and the panel ring in 2026 by reviewing the unbeaten period starting on boxing day with the 0-0 draw against Oldham, a game perhaps best remembered for the potentially pivotal return of Jayden Sweeney from injury. They then move their attention to the crucial, albeit scruffy, 1-0 wins over Shrewsbury and Fleetwood, the impact Soonsup-Bell and David Turi have made in the starting XI and the new-found solidity at the back provided in no small part by loan keeper Jackson Smith.

In Part Two the guys discuss the news fans favourite George McEachran currently appears reluctant to sign a new contract and the potential ramifications that may have on the second half of our season, starting with a tough run of games during January...

This week It’s the VFTF works Christmas do and you’re all invited along! Returning host Chris has put some money behind the bar, Charles Lumley has provided the venue and Paul Savage has provided the booze and they are the panellists to guide us through Part One of tonights special festive edition of the pod. The guys begin by discussing another winless afternoon for the Mariners at Bromley and the questionable team selection of David Artell, a manager that’s arguably been afforded too much patience up to now or perhaps he’s only just in the ascendency of a long term project aligned with the owners? The fan base appears split on the answer to that conundrum.

In Part Two Steve Young and Dave Laister join the party to have a wider look at the season so far and debate whether or not we have made any significant improvement from this time last year. And then they turn their attention to the impending January transfer window and how Artell and co may go about changing the fortunes and inspiring a squad currently devoid of all confidence.

Along the way the panellists choose their player of the season so far, a summer signing that has made the most impact, the most under rated and underwhelming players and also give their Secret Santa suggestions and Town related new years resolutions. Grab yourself a Christmas tipple and settle in to a must listen for all Mariners fans over the festive period!
