Carl Roberts and former Wales internationals Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes reflect on the weekend's results. Swansea came from behind to beat Wrexham 2-1 in their first league meeting for 22 years. Meanwhile, League One leaders Cardiff were beaten 2-1 away at promotion rivals Lincoln, and bottom-of-the-table Newport County suffered another League Two defeat after losing 4-1 away at Colchester.

A long-overdue episode, this one, as we explore Newport County's ownership, the potential loss of league status, and the current existential crisis at NP19.Ian is in the chair, and is joined by Rhys and Ed. The gang briefly discuss the Crewe and Fleetwood games, but then turn our attention to matters off the pitch. With a crunch fan forum meeting taking place next Wednesday, we ask what chairman Huw Jenkins needs to say and do, what the next six weeks may mean for the club's medium-term future, and what needs to change culturally to shift the dial at the club from gloom to joy.We'd welcome your thoughts, as always, so do contact us via your social media platform of choice.

A big statement of intent - that's what Carl, Iwan and Sam made of the three late attacking substitutions made Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy that turned an acceptable away draw into a huge win at title rivals Stevenage. It increased their lead at the top of League One to four points, but also sent a clear message to their rivals on the manager's winning mentality.Swansea City had a super sub of their own as Liam Cullen struck to ensure a second successive home win that silenced talk of a relegation battle... for now. Newport County put a shocking FA Cup display behind them to earn a point at Crewe, giving Iwan new hope they can climb off the bottom of League Two as the hectic Christmas schedule arrives.And after Mo Salah's remarkable outburst against his treatment at Liverpool, Sam recalls his attempts to persuade Sean Dyche he was wrong to drop him to the Burnley bench.

After a shambolic TV broadcast this week which made the FIFA World Cup draw (complete with Rio Ferdinand-Gianni Infantino comedy skits and Wayne Gretzky attempting to pronounce “North Macedonia”) look like a polished, professional affair, Jamie attempts to unpack Newport County's humbling in the FA Cup away to Borehamwood.You may wish to cheer yourself up by listening to some Radiohead, or even better, Ed's chat with the Crewe pod The Railwaymen ahead of our away game on Wednesday.

Special guest Dave Hughes joins Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes to share his thoughts on his brief spell as Newport County manager, which ended with the sack after just 22 games in charge. The 37-year-old recalls his early days at Aston Villa that saw him break into the first team as a 19-year-old, and takes pride in the development of some of the rising stars he helped develop at Cardiff City. And how he's eager to put down the paint brush and get back on the training ground as soon as possible.

More new managers in the Championship as Swansea, Middlesborough and Norwich all appoint. In South Wales Vitor Matos wants to bring back the DNA of the club…but what does that mean? Are Birmingham starting to find their feet in the Championship? Off the pitch they have unveiled ambitious plans for a new stadium and redevelopment of the surrounding area.Coventry continue their free scoring run, with a goal difference of +28 and seven points clear at the top, can they keep it up?League One seems up for grabs this season with most teams capable of beating or losing to each other. Peterborough and Wycombe are on an upward trajectory while Port Vale are sinking and Bradford are still second but with no win in six. In League Two the Gregor Robertson derby ended in a draw and Christina Fuchs – a Premier League winner with Leicester City - has joined rock bottom Newport County. We wish him well. Hosted on Acast.

A pod of two halves for you again, in what has been a momentous week for Newport County. In Part 1, Ed asks Jamie for his initial reaction to County's new manager announcement, and we also rifle through listeners' reactions to the appointment of Christian Fuchs. Then, in Part 2, Ed reports from an ultimately dispiriting loss at Oldham, catching up along the way with Ollie, Mark, Jane & Silvers. Whilst being as positive as they can about what the new manager might bring, there's also no sugar-coating just how desperate things look for a County side rooted to the bottom of the Fourth Division, and now five points from safety.We'd welcome your thoughts, as always, so do contact us via your social media platform of choice.

Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes discuss Wales' World Cup play-off draw, that will potentially bring two home games in March, and the magnificent 7-1 win over North Macedonia that wrapped up second place in the group in style.Newport County's search for a new manager ended with the much-anticipated appointment of Christian Fuchs, but Swansea City's hopes of securing Vitor Matos has hit a potential stumbling block.

Where would Wales be without Ben Davies? And how will they fill the void once he's gone? Since making his debut in 2012, the 32-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong in the Wales defence, and continues to lead from the front despite limited opportunities at Spurs. He become only the fourth Welshman to reach 100 caps when Wales lost a crucial World Cup qualifier a week ago, but he wants more. Much more.In between a morning tactical session and gym work at Spurs' training ground, he joins the crew to reflect and his achievement, and, as you'd expect, to reminisce about the magical summer he shared alongside Sam in France during Euro 2016.There's also a full review of the weekend club action as Cardiff City head back to the top of League One, while Newport County hit rock bottom.

Rhys sat down on Sunday night with Ed and Ian to read the runes after Newport County's humbling by Cheltenham Town, and to ask the big questions.Can Dave Hughes keep his job? What will happen if he goes? Where does our defensive injury crisis leave us? Can we still be in contention for survival come January? Is there even money to strengthen if we are? Is our situation more akin to a bad episode of Ready, Steady Cook or to Icarus?It's not an uplifting listen, but it is an important reality check - one which ends with a rare Ian Street poetry reading (this time it's Resignation by Lostling).Do contact us via your social media platform of choice if you have anything you want to share.

Carl Roberts and former Wales internationals Sam Vokes and Iwan Roberts reflect on the weekend's results including the opening round of the Premier League. Cardiff got back to winning ways with a dominant 3-0 win over Rotherham and Swansea got their first league win after beating Sheffield United 1-0. Wrexham made it two successive losses in the Championship with a 3-2 defeat to West Brom while Newport County lost their first league game after a 2-1 loss at Grimsby.

Ian Hunt joins Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes to review the opening weekend and preview the start of the Championship season. A youthful Cardiff City side made a winning start to their League One campaign as they beat Peterborough United at home 2-1 with both goals coming from academy products. Newport County drew 1-1 at home to Notts County in their League Two opener in a match which was delayed for an hour due to a medical emergency at the ground. Wrexham and Swansea City kick off their Championship campaigns this weekend. It's been a busy week for Wrexham who've completed the signings of England centre-back Conor Coady and Wales striker Kieffer Moore ahead of their opener away to Southampton. Meanwhile, Swansea travel to Middlesbrough as Alan Sheehan begins his first full season as head coach.

It's the beginning of a new era at Cardiff City and Newport County as both clubs prepare for life under new, and inexperienced, managers. The Bluebirds, playing in the third level of English football for the first time in 21 years, have opted for the blue side of Manchester by appointing for former Manchester City youth coach Brian Barry-Murphy. The Exiles, meanwhile, have gone for the red side by choosing former Manchester United youth coach Dave Hughes. Both clubs have ample room for improvement after hugely disappointing performances last season. But is there room for optimism this season?Wrexham and Swansea have another week's preparation for the start of the Championship season - and both have been making plenty of headlines over the summer. The Dragons have showed their promotion intent again with some eye-catching signings, and they're not finished yet. The Swans took everyone by surprise with the announcement that Snoop Dogg has become a co-owner as an investor. It's building up nicely to be another fascinating season for Welsh football.

We have another summer special for your ears, listeners! Ian and Rhys welcome former Newport County commercial manager James Watts. Now at Swindon Town, James shares his experience and insights into the intricacies of lower league football finance.

This past Sunday, June 22nd was the Season 3 Premiere of HBO's hit series, The Gilded Age. Part of the success of this show is the viewing audience's fascination of this time period -  a time of rapid change and immense wealth in the United States - and the grand mansions of the time located in Newport, Rhode Island.I thought my listeners would be interested in going behind the scenes - to learn more about this time of great change, wealth, power and drama in American History - and who better to give us a view into this world and history, than Trudy Coxe, the CEO and Executive Director of the Preservation Society of Newport County.In this episode, Trudy and I talk about the "Gilded Age" - this time of transformation following the Civil War where the railroads, oil, banking, created the Robber Barons and the rise of families like the Vanderbilts, Goulds, Astors.  We explore the similarities between the show and real like characters - for example, Bertha Russell and Alva Vanderbilt and how the show's creator, Julian Fellowes, went to great lengths to make certain that he was getting the historical details of the time correct.  Importantly, Fellowes engaged historians to ensure that the story of the rise of elite Black Americans during this time were being accurately portrayed through his character Peggy Scott.We also examine about the role of immigrants in this society, the architecture of these grand homes, the culture of religious freedom in Newport and the broader economy at the time. While we talk about the rise of these families and great wealth in America at the time, we also explore the fall of the Gilded Age and these grand summer cottages and the creation of the Preservation Society and its importance in maintaining these homes and in it this important period of American history.For lovers of history, Newport or the Gilded Age, this episode is for you!  And if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on Instagram @TheInterviewWithLeslie and subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode.

In another of the podcast's #BigInterviews, former Newport County skipper and marauding midfielder Joss Labadie sat down with Ian and Jamie for a look back on his time at Rodney Parade. From the Great Escape and injuries, to cup runs and playoff finals, Joss opened up on that five-year period where he experienced everything there is to experience as a League Two captain.We're really grateful to Joss for his time, and for his honesty and candidness. The chat offers a fabulous insight into the inner workings of a football team. How do you manage contract negotiations when you're out with an ACL injury? Just HOW difficult is it to play Premier League opposition? How do you manage egos and cocky youngsters coming in from youth academies?Joss also shared intel on how footballers set themselves up for post-retirement, particularly when coaching and punditry are not options. From covering every blade of grass to covering yourself for the worst, we hear about how Labs has teamed up with former teammates in the insurance game.

Better late than never, as they say, for this week's pod... though with the two results we have to talk about, maybe never would have been a better option? Defeats to Doncaster Rovers and Chesterfield leave United teetering on the edge of falling into non-league football - it's a must win-game this weekend, so can they perform a minor miracle and get all three points against Newport County?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the away defeat against Donny and the Spireites, before previewing the huge game with the exiles at Brunton Park - plenty covered including:

Should five years' residency make a player eligible to play international football for that country? It's allowed under Fifa rules, but historically Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland have agreed not to take advantage of it. The Football Association of Wales, though, have been testing the waters to see if there is appetite for change. As it transpires, there isn't. And Iwan and Sam are in complete agreement with that.They also agree that Newport County deserve great credit for giving their season a completely different complexion with four successive wins, but a lacklustre start at Portsmouth by Cardiff comes under criticism.And Iwan takes great pleasure in returning to his Gwynedd roots with this week's pick of the week.
