A mixed week for United as they progress fairly comfortably in the FA Cup but then just about scrape a point at strugglers Harrogate in the midweek league fixture.In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike chat about that second victory in the space of a week against Tranmere in the first round of the cup, while also looking back on the dramatic 3-3 draw in North Yorkshire, asking whether it was two points dropped or one gained.We also look ahead to the first of two fixtures in the space of two weeks against Walsall, as the Saddlers make the trip up the M6 to Brunton Park. This includes a chat with Tom from the "One Pod Beyond" Walsall Podcast about their recent turnaround in form after a poor start to the season, their American takeover and where on earth is Joe Riley at??Alongside this is the usual Loan Watch and Ex-Blues Round-up, as well as a bit of discussion about the Paddock section closure furore.Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Mike Booth in Formby.You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.-------------------Once again this season, the Carlisle United Supporters' Club London Branch will be sponsoring the podcast!
