The Stacey West Podcast
Former Player Special #5 - Simon Yeo
Welcome to the second of our podcasts in association with the Former Players Association.
It's numbered 5, as we have previously spoken to Gavin Gordon, Mark Hone & Roger Holmes. However, this is the second in a new series hosted by Gary and former Lincoln City player Paul De Garis, following on from Matt Carmichael.
Simon John Yeo had two spells with the Imps, the first from 2002-2005 and the second at the start of 2006. He scored 58 goals in 158 games, including 21 league goals in 2004/05, the last time a player achieved the fabled 20 goals a season for City in the Football League. Is he best known for the leveller against Torquay or the brace against Scunthorpe? Maybe it was the winner at Glanford Park in the second leg of the play-offs or the hat trick at Grimsby. There are too many great Simon Yeo moments!
Hear him talk about the Gaffer, Keith, and the influence he had on Simon's life. He's tackling some of the red cards and doesn't hold back on one member of the 2002/03 squad.

The Stacey West Championship Show | Derby's Disaster, Wolves' Wonderful 13 & Norwich Not Quite There
43:18|The Stacey West Championship Show is back, and this week we're taking a deep dive into three clubs experiencing very different starts to the Championship season.First up, it's Derby County. After heading into the campaign with plenty of optimism, things haven't gone to plan for the Rams. We look at what's gone wrong, why results have been so disappointing, and whether John Eustace can turn things around before the situation gets even worse.At the other end of the spectrum, Wolves have enjoyed a fantastic opening 13 games. We dig into what's making them so difficult to beat, the impressive underlying numbers, and whether they're already establishing themselves as genuine favourites for automatic promotion.Finally, we turn our attention to Norwich City, who haven't quite hit the heights many expected. We examine their inconsistent start, where things are going wrong, and whether there's enough evidence to suggest they can still mount a serious promotion challenge.As ever, we're looking beyond the league table, using statistics, performances and tactical analysis to assess where all three clubs really stand after the opening 13 matches.If you enjoy the episode, please like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts on Derby, Wolves and Norwich. Which of these three sides do you think will look the most different come May?This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast.

After his successful spell at Bradford City, can Alexander replicate that approach in the Championship? We compare his tactical style at both clubs, look at Preston's biggest problems so far, and discuss what needs to change to get their season back on track.As ever, we dive into the numbers, looking beyond results and league positions to see what the statistics really tell us about both sides.If you enjoy the episode, please like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts on Blackburn's recent form and whether Graham Alexander is the right man to turn things around at Preston.This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast.
