326 - Birmingham City, Crawley Town and the Boys Disagree

This week, we're going back over the Birmingham defeat, and trying not to get too taken up with how good they are.


Instead, we'll look at what we did well and use some numbers to prove it. There's plenty of good discussion, including Gary and Chris disagreeing not once, not twice, but thrice. That doesn't happen often.


Find out why Gary was angry, and Chris was not. Find out why both think Crawley is a game we can win (which should be obvious, really) and what their thoughts are on Zach Jeacock's move to Southend United.
