Pragmatic Mullins lifts Newport gloom
2026/10/19
Carl Roberts, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle take a closer look at the impact made by new Newport County manager Hayden Mullins. County have taken 14 points from their first 11 games - nine more than at the same stage last season. Mullins arrived in the summer without any previous senior managerial experience - what has he got right in the first few months to give fresh hope at Rodney Parade?
Swansea City lost at home for the first time since April on Saturday, but defeat to West Ham United - touted as the best team in the division - didn't mean they lost top spot in the Championship. Lee saw first hand the disappointment in the dressing room after the game, a dressing room that has fostered great team spirit as demonstrated by some enthusiastic singing and dancing.
Swansea had Cardiff City to thanks for keeping them top by claiming a draw at Middlesbrough. It's been a decent week for Brian Barry-Murphy's men, with new singing Jack Moylan catching Nathan's eye in particular.
Wrexham relieved some pressure off manager Phil Parkinson with a thumping win over Preston. Some possible candidates waiting in the wings have been mentioned, one being Lee's old mate Steven Gerrard.
And after Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi took the players on a team bonding exercise to Marbella, Nathan and Lee recall how beneficial a good night out could be in their day.
Are Swansea City genuine title contenders?
2026/10/12
Carl Roberts, Lee Trundle and Nia Jones assess Swansea City's prospects of mounting a serious challenge to win the Championship, and consider manager Vitor Matos' role in transforming the club's fortunes.
The smiles have quickly turned to frowns among Cardiff City fans, though, as the players continue to struggle to emulate last season's success in a higher division. Should the Bluebirds already be bracing themselves for a battle for survival?
Wales' less than convincing performance in beating Albania has raised some concerns, making Tuesday's second leg World Cup play-off tie in Llanelli far from a foregone conclusion. And Lee shares an unexpected insight into his gardening attire.

How to build the perfect striker
2026/09/14
Carl Roberts, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle step inside the mind of a struggling striker on this week's episode. Yousef Salech has had plenty of opportunities in from of goal this season, but a combination of factors means it's been a frustrating start for the Cardiff City front man. What can he do to end the goal drought? What can his team-mates and coaching staff do to help him?
There's no such problem at Swansea City as front pair Adam Idah and Zan Vipotnik are finding the back in their continued strong start. Is the competition between the two one major factor in their success?
And we couldn't let a discussion about strikers pass without asking Nathan and Lee for their favourite number nines, and getting them to build their perfect goalscorer.
Is the pressure is mounting on Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson after a sobering defeat at West Ham, and how will Wales manager Craig Bellamy react to questions about his links with Burnley over the summer?
Any winners from the dull (non) derby draw?
2026/09/07
Lee Trundle and Nia Jones join Carl Roberts on the sofa this week to consider whether Swansea City or Wrexham would have been most satisfied with the goalless draw at the Swansea.com Stadium. It certainly wasn't a classic, and the lack of intensity went some way to justify pre-match comments that this shouldn't be classed as a derby. There was one hefty challenge, though. Was Ben Cabango lucky to escape a red card?
Cardiff City remain winless after a defeat in Portsmouth, and an off the field altercation between centre back Krystian Bielik and a home supporter has given manager Brian Barry-Murphy another headache. With a police investigation ongoing, Bielik could be looking at a lengthy ban.
And after some incredulous admissions from former referee Mike Dean, Lee's memory is tested when asked to remember when the former Premier League official left his mark in a Swansea game.
Bank Holiday Bonanza
2026/08/31
Carl Roberts, Nia Jones and Nathan Blake discuss Swansea's impressive win over Derby, ask is Phil Parkinson under pressure and what's a player's mindset when there's three goals in the opening seven minutes of a match.
Kamwa outburst riles Newport fans
2026/08/24
Simon Davies, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle react to Bobby Kamwa's exuberant celebration in front of the Newport fans after scoring for Bristol Rovers. After being targeted by the visiting County contingent on Saturday, Kamwa raced the length of the field to goad the fans who adored him last season for scoring crucial goals in the fight against relegation. Should fans learn to take it if they give it, or did Kamwa overstep the mark?
And after Erling Haaland's new haircut caused a stir, Simon reminds Nathan and Lee of some of their own dubious styles a long time ago.
Colwill's cracker deflates Wrexham
2026/08/18
Carl Roberts, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle react to Cardiff City's last second equaliser against Wrexham on the opening weekend of the Championship season. The Welsh derby certainly didn't disappoint as Rubin Colwill's free-kick sent the Bluebirds faithful into raptures, with manager Brian Barry-Murphy failing to contain is delight as he joined the wild celebrations with the players and fans in the stand. It also caused one member of the podcast to "lose my mind". Can you guess who?
Swansea City manager Vitor Matos was also full of emotion as he celebrated his side's win at Stoke City. But how longer will he be able to call upon star striker Zan Vipotnik? The panel discuss the "derisory" bid from Hull City, saying the Swans should be looking for a minimum fee of £25m.
And there's plenty of praise for Hayden Mullins after securing an opening win for Newport County in his first game in charge.
New Season, New Team!
2026/08/11
We are back for a 10th season, and we've assembled a new squad. Nathan Blake and Nia Jones, two former Wales internationals, will be joined by Swansea City cult hero Lee Trundle to discuss and dissect the major talking points in Welsh football each week. And to add a bit humour and tales from their varied past.
After some getting to know you questions - where Nathan reveals a surprising choice as his favourite former team-mate - the panel discuss the fallout from Fifa's controversial plans to sell the World Cup and how the Football Association of Wales played a prominent role as vociferous opponents.
We had some breaking news to discuss with Brennan Johnson's imminent move to Everton, Lee's childhood club.
A new Wales shirt brought lukewarm reaction, and there was a general agreement on which club would finish highest by the end of the season.
