Fourth Tier Fever

New League Two Dark Horses?!

Jordan and Luke (returning after missing last week where coincidentally, MK Dons lost 3-0 at AFC Wimbledon) review all the action in League Two over the past weekend, which saw Barrow top the table, Mike Williamson claiming his first victory as the new Carlisle United boss after leaving MK Dons, and Gillingham picking up an impressive three points at Notts County. 


We also take a look at if there’s more problems for Accrington Stanley after they surrendered a 2-0 lead late on to Port Vale, as well as Walsall’s somewhat unexpected but terrific start, alongside another Grimsby defe… (oh wait, they won!)

  • League Two Relegation Now Inevitable!?

    01:15:06|
    The latest action from League Two brought by The Deck. Jordan, Luke and Keiron (who’s happy after Newport won, but distraught after his favourite takeaway was recently closed down), return to discuss all of the action in the fourth division over the course of the last week, including if a couple of sides are close to changing their managers, Scott Lindsey’s appointment at MK Dons, the situation regarding AFC Wimbledon’s pitch after turning into a “golf course” (Luke’s words, although he did give a lovely donation to their crowdfunder), alongside reflecting on something Grimsby haven’t done in a long time: Winning away from home, as well as winning back-to-back matches!

  • David Artell - Life of a Manager, Grimsby Project, Success at Crewe and International Football

    01:07:45|
    A battler as a player, a teacher as a manager, and, more importantly, a League Two promotion-winner (the only person in Crewe Alexandra’s history to do it as a player and a manager as well!) In this special episode, Jordan and Jake sit down with Grimsby Town Head Coach David Artell in an exclusive interview, in which he talked about what he saw about the club when taking the job and exactly how far he hopes to take the Mariners, as well as his time at Crewe and how his team progressed year on year whilst developing some of the most exciting academy players in the EFL in recent years that won promotion to League One, as well as a bit about his player career, which included his experiences facing the likes of Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski whilst representing the Gibraltar national team! #gtfc #grimsbytown #crewealex #crewealexandra #leaguetwo
  • League Two Attention Turns to the Most Hated Club in Football

    01:18:33|
    Jordan, Jake and Kieron (but not Luke - he’s decided to not show up a little bit like MK Dons) return for another week to discuss all of the main talking points in the fourth division, including AFC Wimbledons stunning victory over MK Dons in which Luke lost his head in a pre-recorded video, as well as impressive victories for Notts County, Gillingham and Barrow. Alongside that, we take a look at Swindon’s four goal rout over Newport took place, and we also take another look at Grimsby because of course they lost again. - AFC Wimbledon’s statement victory over MK Dons - ⁠Is Mike Williamson under pressure at MK? (Involving Luke’s pre-recorded video and subsequent headloss) - ⁠Morecambe pick up their first goals (and point!) - ⁠Superb Swindon against a depleted Newport side - ⁠Patience needed at Grimsby? - ⁠Worrying times for Accrington Stanley? - ⁠How can Carlisle stop their early season rot? - ⁠Doncaster faltering? - ⁠How big of a role can John Fleck play for Chesterfield?
