The Mariners season came to an abrupt end in the cruellest of fashions on Friday night when a 117th minute extra-time winner for Salford saw them dumped out of the League Two play-off’s 4-3 on aggregate. Chris and the panel begin by dissecting both games, pin point key moments that helped decide the tie and debate whether David Artell’s decision to drop top goal-scorer Jaze Kabia to the bench for the second leg was the right one.

In Part Two the guys take a look back at what will be remembered, once the dust settles, as Town’s most successful league campaign for two decades and the marked improvements from last season. They pick out some of the most defining and memorable moments from the last nine months and then look ahead to the imminent retained list announcement and our chances of success next season. Can the squad continue year on year improvement and achieve a top 6 finish or will the extra expectation weigh heavy?

Join us again in August to find out!

Town rounded off the regular season with a 1-1 draw at Tranmere, confirming a play-off semi-final against Salford. Matt and the panel look back at a thankfully uneventful afternoon with no more injuries, squad players given minutes and Justin Amaluzor continuing his return to form. Have he and Clarke Oduor played their way into unlikely starts in our biggest games of the season?

In Part Two Danny from the “One Up Front” Salford City Blog joins the conversation to help preview that all important play-off bout with the Ammies. Might the disappointment of missing out on automatic promotion on final day weigh heavy on the Salford players, how is Karl Robinson likely to set-up over the two legs and which of the Town squad does Danny fear the most?

See you on the other side!

Well, what were we worried about?! Town secure a League Two play-off place for the first time in two decades after a potentially season defining week and back-to-back wins against fellow promotion contenders Cambridge and Swindon. Chris and the panel begin by admiring two very different performances; one dogged and determined, the other relentless and confident but both with the same glorious outcome.

Attentions then turn to individual stand out displays such as that of Cameron McJannet on Tuesday night and then Maldini Kacurri, Geza David Turi and hat-trick hero Jaze Kabia on Saturday. How important has squad rotation proven to be, how far could this new found form carry us and can we now finally afford ourselves a laugh at Ian Holloway’s expense?

The guys then discuss the selection headache facing David Artell ahead of a final day trip to Tranmere, debate the pro’s and con’s of resting players and then wonder who we may need to fear in the play-offs... Or are we now the team others will fear?
