The Brunton Bugle - A Carlisle United Podcast

Typical Carlisle United - very much a case of "After the Lord Mayor's Show" as they put in a drab performance and go down to a 1-0 defeat to Leyton Orient at home, after that fantastic win at Bolton Wanderers.

In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by new guest host Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the loss to the O's. There's discussion about substitutions, lack of threat on set-pieces and unfortunately, another re-opening of the goalkeeper debate!

That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the south coast to face table-toppers Portsmouth. We chat to Hugh from the PO4 Cast about Pompey's excellent start to the campaign and what fans can expect in a revamped away end at Fratton Park.

On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Wembley 95 and 97, Chelsea 1974, Roma 1972, Arsenal 1951... forget all those games - THIS was the greatest result in our club's history! (If you believe some...).

In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan sit down to look back on a belting away day at Bolton, where the Blues picked up a routine 3-1 win against a tactically stubborn Trotters side. Plenty of topics to cover - not least, the continued impressive performances of hat-trick hero Jordan Gibson and the emergence of Sam Lavelle as a real leader in the squad.

That's followed by a chat about this weekend's clash with fellow promoted side Leyton Orient - with discussion about how they've adapted to League One and in the "Played for Both" feature, we go back to someone who featured in the first ever Carlisle United side way back in 1904!

On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

United finally scored a goal! And more importantly, come out of the Easter weekend fixtures unbeaten and with two clean sheets.

In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on 2-0 win over Tranmere Rovers and 0-0 draw with Walsall, which leaves United just outside the automatic promotion positions. There's lots of talk about the big Brunton Park crowd, Dennis finding his shooting boots again and terrible referees, amongst other topics!

We also look ahead to what is now a huge game this weekend against second-place Northampton Town, with the Blues knowing a win would take them above the Cobblers and into the top three. We speak to Charles from the excellent "It's All Cobblers To Me" podcast about how they have bounced back from last season's promotion and play-offs heartache, the work Jon Brady has done since taking over and there's also a bit of comparing notes on injury lists!

Alongside this is the usual news, a Loan Watch update and the Ex-Blues Round-up.

Another weekend, another game unbeaten for the Blues - and the Brunton Bugle is here to review the excellent away win at Hartlepool and look ahead to a mouth-watering clashing between two promotion contenders in Cumbria this weekend.

In this episode, Lee and Mike discuss the 3-1 victory over the Monkey Hangers at Victoria Park - plenty of chat about Owen "One Of Our Own" Moxon and his stellar performance, Omari Patrick getting on the scoresheet finally (and sadly then picking up an injury) and the bouncing away end.

We also look ahead to this weekend's clash between 7th and 8th at Brunton Park as Doncaster Rovers make the trip up from Yorkshire - including chat about their captain Adam Clayton and the time he spent on-loan with the Blues over a decade ago.

There's also a news round-up which features a discussion about the potential of the 3pm "TV blackout" coming to an end and the FA Cup First Round Draw next week, a quick Loan Watch round-up, and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently

It's been a while, but you can't quite beat that winning feeling, can you? A lovely away day in Greater Manchester for the Blues and while the performance wasn't exactly top-drawer, the result was all that mattered as Mike Williamson's men picked up a first win in seven weeks.

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the 1-0 win over Salford City - lots covered including:

3️⃣ A massive three points
