- Good knowledge, poor opinions.
With so many teams it would be difficult to cover every match each week so the analysis can be focused only on the big matches. In my opinion they are fans that follow the ball only without seeing other aspects of the game so they will throw out stats without giving the bigger picture. There is an immaturity to their opinions also where they have teams they do not like (PNE, Coventry, Ipswich, Swansea, Stoke among others) so they will either skip over talking about them or will have awful ill in... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Clickbait rather than quality
If you like Derby County then this is your show. If you like football knowledge based purely on playing championship Manager, this is your show. If you want incisive comment or even a basic understanding of the game then avoid
Apple Podcasts1SunZoomBrownsUnited Kingdoma month ago - Poor
How can they give in depth analysis of games they’ve not even seen. They attend Derby every week so must only watch brief highlights. I’ve tried quite a few episodes and they don’t even mention Preston unless they are playing a top 6 club. Even when we were 4th at Christmas didn’t even get a mention

As a Southampton fan I just love this podcast. People whith genuine knowledge unlike all other football podcast. Brilliant lads. Keep it up.
Apple Podcasts5creamybunmanUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Not great
If you want insight into football for the championship I’d guide you to ‘not the top twenty’. These lads either don’t watch matches or have little to nothing to add to tactical analysis.
If you are here for ‘banta’ that’s almost worse. If it’s not the toe curling ‘ladies and gentleman’ then it’s weak bants from the two lads whose pocket money got stolen at school for being utterly boring.
Poor insight and weak banta. Keep it up lads.
Not the top twenty podcast far superior - check it out
