Its Monday 16th September 2025 and in today's show we discuss yet another defensive horror show as we come away pointless from Saturday's trip to Sixfields, a result which sees us fall to second bottom of the table, already eleven points off the play-offs and thirteen off automatic promotion. It can’t get any worse, can it?Northampton 1 - Blackpool 0Talking pointsNo clean sheet in 14 matches - Why cant Steve Bruce sort out the defence when he was a defender himself - has he lost the dressing room? Is he spending enough time at the training ground? (lowest XG and high XGa suggest it’s not simply ‘the defence’ but the entire system)Why is Horsfall not starting and Ihekwei is?Why haven't we signed a left footed centre half?Why isnt Zac Ashworth, a specialist LB playing at LBWhy is Albie Morgan playing on the LW? (also Honeyman in previous games)Why do all other team appear fitter than us? (lowest tackles made in entire league suggests lack of ‘fight’) Bruce in or out?  Show pollAUDIO PODCASTYou can listen to the audio (enhanced quality) version of the podcast ‘in your ears’ by clicking this link https://podfollow.com/seasiders-podcast or from all good podcast listening apps.VIDEO PODCASTWatch all video podcast on our YouTube channel at:  https://www.youtube.com/@seasiderspodPATREONIf you would like to help support our show, say thanks for the pods and help us pay for software, hosting, equipment, etc., please consider joining our Patreon supporter program at: https://www.patreon.com/seasiderspod And in return for your generous patronage, you'll get a Seasiders Podcast premium pass.
