Dan and Mike off the back of a poor result vs Oxford turn their attention to our upcoming Carabao Cup fixture vs Charlie Adam's Fleetwood Town, as we look to bounce back to winning ways.

Dan, Mike and Tom are joined by Ben Rowley as we wave goodbye to the first international break of the season and look ahead to Saturday's lunchtime kick off versus Oxford.

Dan and Mike are filling your international break with another ESATW special. This time we talk to a man who played for Stoke during the golden era of the 70's before again playing a major role in the modern day as the organiser and main man behind SCOBA - the Stoke City Old Boys Association.We talk about growing up in Stoke, getting spotted by the Potters and what it was like as a YTS during the clubs golden era, experiencing cold showers and apartheid during spells out on loan and then how the Butler Stand blowing down gave him his big chance. We also find out what its like to live the phrase 'I'll drive you to your new club myself' and who were the best players he shared a pitch with.Then, after giving us his thoughts and reveals his excitement at the current Potters side, John tells us the meaning behind SCOBA and its aim's, the great work its achieved so far and how anyone can get involved at their meetings as well as revealing just how many members it has, and how some may not even know they are part of it!

Dan, Mike and Tom are here once again to discuss the League Cup Second Round trip up to Teesside to take on Middlesbrough. The lads try(miserably) to guess what side Boro will be putting out as well as what XI Steven Schumacher may go for and also disagree on the importance of this match!
