Lots of topics discussed in this episode, including:

United brought their current spell in the EFL to an end last weekend with a valiant 2-2 draw against Salford City - a result that ruined the Ammies hopes of a play-off place. A solid end to a fairly wretched campaign for the Blues - with non-league football on the horizon for next season, what lies next for the club?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we chat about the final day draw and discuss some of the news that has come out of the club this week, as we await news on Mark Hughes' future and the retained list.

All roads lead to Truro next season, as United's relegation to the National League is confirmed by defeat at Cheltenham. A miserable campaign ending on a damp squib after just the slightest ray of hope in the last few weeks. In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we discuss the 3-2 loss to the Robins, some initial reaction to relegation and look ahead to a fairly pointless final day of the season against Salford City at home - lots discussed including...

Almost a perfect Easter for the Blues, but despite dropping two points Accrington after a superb win over table-toppers Port Vale, they are still (just about) in the relegation battle. Can Sparky still pull off the Greatest of all Great Escapes?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we chat about the win over the Valiants and the draw with Stanley, before previewing the final away game of the season at Cheltenham - lots discussed including...

So, Adam comes back on the pod and United finally end the 99-game wait for two wins in a row... surely not a co-incidence?

Adam returns to the pod after a three-month absence and what a game to return on - the Blues come from two down for the first time in a decade to secure a vital three points and keep survival hopes alive.

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?

Dan Tait hosted the supporters trust social event at Brew York where current players Marvin Armstrong and Dipo Akinyemi were joined by club ambassador Ian Blackstone. Ian Blackstone played in a side that was pipped to automatic promotion by Barnet but won at Wembley to secure promotion. Could lightening strike twice?

Two wins in a row continues to elude United, but a hard-earned point after coming from behind twice against MK Dons shows the fighting spirit remains - can they keep the unbeaten run going and get two positives results from tough away games at Doncaster Rovers and Chesterfield and keep alive the fight to stay in the EFL?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the 2-2 draw against the Dons and look ahead to the trips to face Donny and the Spireites - plenty covered including:

The predictable Harry McKirdy goal arrived, but United still ran out winners, with a much-improved performance leading to a 2-1 victory against Bromley. Can this finally be the catalyst to a Great Escape?

Death, taxes and... Carlisle United failing to beat Harrogate Town. Three certainties we can all expect in life. The Hoodoo continues as United are done by a late own-goal - can the Great Escape get back on track this weekend at Brunton Park, or will it be the opening notes of The Last Post that ring out on a disastrous campaign.In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the 1-0 loss in North Yorkshire before looking ahead to the AFC Wimbledon clash at home - plenty covered including:

Two games unbeaten for the Blues, but it's another bore-draw as Mark Hughes still searches for his first win in-charge of the club.

The prodigal son returns! Yes, for the first time in quite a while, Dan is back on the pod... but unfortunately, there's not much positive to talk about as United slump to two consecutive defeats on the road to start the Mark Hughes reign. Can Sparky turn things around, or are the Blues doomed for the drop?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the losses at Grimsby and Newport and look ahead to another big game at home against Colchester - plenty covered including:

Yes, you aren't mistaken - this is a very short episode of the Brunton Bugle! Unfortunately, Mike has been struck down by a bug after the Grimsby game and has lost his voice. With no time to arrange a replacement, rather than letting an already arranged Behind Enemy Lines recording go to waste, we're bringing you a very truncated "mini-preview" episode.Lee spoke to Ed from the excellent 1912 Exiles Podcast ahead of the trip to South Wales to face Newport - plenty of interesting stuff in there about how County are getting on this season, their recent shift in transfer policy and the improvements to the Rodney Parade pitch - well worth a listen ahead of the big game!Thank you for your understanding and patience - normal service will resume for the Colchester preview!

The appointment has been made and Mark Hughes is the man given the task of keeping the Blues in League Two. Can the Welsh football legend keep United up, or is the task just too big?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by guest host Nick to discuss Sparky's appointment, before looking ahead to the weekend trip to Grimsby - lots discussed including:

A hugely contrasting January transfer window for the four Welsh EFL clubs provides plenty of taking points. Swansea's lack of signings has prompted concern from the Supporters Trust, with Iwan also critical of how the club dealt with the departure of captain Matt Grimes to Coventry. Cardiff's activity - particularly in signing highly-rated Leicester youngster Will Alves - helped to mask the seven-goal mauling at Leeds as crucial league games await this month. Wrexham showed their intent with a flurry of high-profile forward signings, and celebrated with a dance lesson from a Hollywood star. Newport gave themselves much needed-breathing space with two crucial wins, and bolstered the threadbare squad.Sam gives an update on his coaching status at Wycombe with the arrival of a new manager, and welcomes the club's decision to hold onto key players for the League One title push. And who will fill Harry Wilson's boots as the Wales' World Cup qualifying campaign draws nearer?

EMERGENCY POD! Yes, the news we've all been expecting was confirmed on Monday morning, as Mike Williamson was relieved of his duties as Blues boss following the shambolic 5-1 home loss to Swindon Town.In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by guest host Nick to look back on Williamson's time as Blues boss, chat about what went wrong and look ahead to who might be in the frame to replace him - lots discussed including:

United get their first win of 2025 and it's a big three points against Pete Child's Fleetwood Town side - can Sam Lavelle's late winner be the catalyst for another Great Escape by the Blues?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the win over the Cod Army and look ahead to midweek trip south to face Notts County - plenty covered including:

New players, same old story... another encouraging start is quickly nipped in the bud as United slumped to yet another defeat, this time handing Bradford their first win in Cumbria in almost 40 years.In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by guest host Nick to review the loss to the Bantams, before looking ahead to the weekend trip to Fleetwood - lots discussed including:

A weekend off is a weekend unbeaten, right? United return to action on Saturday and face Bradford City, with plenty of new faces expected to feature in the line-up for the Blues.In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look ahead to the weekend clash - plenty covered including:

It's fair to say, it's been a pretty dreadful start to 2025 for United, as they threw away a lead at Crewe to lose in injury time only to then follow it up with a dreadful performance in a 1-0 loss at Tranmere at the weekend. More new signings in the door, but can they help drag United off the bottom of the EFL?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by guest host Nick to review the first two fixtures of the year before looking ahead to the clash with Mike Williamson's former club MK Dons - plenty covered including:

A Happy New Year to all Bugle listeners across the world - let's hope that 2025 is a much more enjoyable year for Blues fans than 2024 was!This is our second festive special episode this year and once again, Jon Colman has joined Lee for a bit of a natter.

A mixed bag at Christmas for the Blues - a dreadful effort against Morecambe followed by a hard-earned win against another fellow struggler, Accrington Stanley. Can Mike Williamson's first home win spark a revival, starting with the New Year's Day clash at Crewe?In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we review the two festive fixtures before looking ahead to the trip to Cheshire - plenty covered including:

A Merry Christmas to all Bugle listeners across the world - this episode is a late present to you all, helping fill the gap left by the lack of regular episodes out during the Christmas perineum (do not Google that).To help us with this, we've got a special guest on for two special episodes during this period - award-winning United reporter for the News & Star and Cumberland News, Jon Colman!Next year will see Jon celebrate 20 years of covering the Blues and it's fair to say, he's seen a lot during that time - two promotions, two relegations, three play-off campaigns, three Wembley visits and eleven different managers.So for part one, we decided to ask him for his top 5 games covered as United reporter - and totally unprompted, he also offered up his worst 5 too (well, we're all masochists as Carlisle United fans, aren't we?).It was a real pleasure to take a trip down memory-lane with Jon, who offered some real insight into what it's like reporting on the Blues and some of the moments of drama (and the downright dreadful) that have caught his imagination down the years.
