It may only be early December, but the message is clear for Swansea City - this is now a relegation fight. And the next two games - at home to fellow strugglers Oxford United and Portsmouth - could define the whole season.Wrexham, meanwhile, are looking upwards after extending their unbeaten run to eight games. Manager Phil Parkinson has now reached 200 league games with The Reds, with a hugely impressive 59.5% win rate. With so many clubs now opting for a head coach rather than a more traditional manager, are the likes of Parkinson becoming a rare breed? Iwan and Sam share their experiences of working under some of the best in the business.Premier League scouts are flocking to Cardiff City to watch Dylan Lawlor, and Rhian Wilkinson can breathe a sigh of relief after claiming a first win for Wales in a tough, yet historically significant, 2025.
Over a fantastic 10-year period, Les Robinson played more than 450 games for Oxford United at an amazing ratio of 45 per season.A more than reliable right-back, Les was a mainstay of a team that not only competed superbly in the second tier but also enjoyed some memorable cup runs.Les tells Behind The Badge about his relationships with various managers, players and a chairman who he didn't see eye-to-eye with at the end.Another must-listen for any United fan!

Kings of Anglia - Ipswich Town podcast from the EADT and Ipswich Star
Ross Halls and Alex Jones sit down at their Premier Inn to reflect on Ipswich Town's 2-1 defeat to Oxford United. The boys discuss the game, where Leif Davis' fine finish cancelled out Mark Harris' opener after Azor Matusiwa's mistake. However, former Norwich City man Przemysław Płacheta had the last laugh, scoring a quick counter to win the match for the U's. What went wrong for Town, and why do they continue to struggle against low blocks? There's a discussion around their current form and league position before looking ahead to Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night. There's also a chat about the matchday experience at the Kassam Stadium, including a unique lights show and sharing a pie with a former England captain.

While the likes of Kemar Roofe, Chris Maguire and Danny Hylton brought the goals, creativity and flair to Oxford United's 2015/16 promotion winning season, the likes of Joe Skarz added the defensive brilliance that enabled the aforementioned stars to take League Two by storm.United signed left-back Skarz in the January 2015 transfer window and he had racked up more than 100 games by the time he left two-and-a-half years later. That included a couple towards the end of the 15/16 season where he played mightily through the pain barrier...as you'll find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's show we consider another valuable point towards survival gained by Leeds United but was it another opportunity missed having conceded so late at home to Bournemouth.In the Championship, Sheffield United enjoyed a brief glimmer of hope with a narrow victory at Chris Wilder's former club OXford United, only to be brought crashing back down to earth with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton at Bramall lane on Tuesday night.The off-field issues which have dogged Sheffield Wednesday all summer continue, with the latest stories suggesting Owls players are considering refusing to train afternot being paid once again by owner Dejphon Chansiri.Hull City once again showed their Jekyll and Hyde trait when coming from 2-0 down at home to Preston North End to secure a valuable point.In League One, Bradford City - who head to second-bottom Rotherham United on Thursday night - continue to set the pace, their cause aided by a shock 1-0 defeat for Cardiff against struggling Burton Albion on Tuesday, but is there cause for concern at two of the Bantams' Yorkshire rivals.Doncaster Rovers are in the midst of a mini-slump having suffered three straight league defeats, while Barnsley are in a similar position, losing twice on the trot and dropping out of the play-off spots along with Grant McCann's team.
