Lincoln City's win against Burnley takes centre stage in episode 505 of The Stacey West Podcast. We look back at a huge afternoon at Sincil Bank as the Imps secured their first home victory of the Championship season. We discuss the performances, the key moments and what City can take from beating the Clarets. There's also Adam Reach's new deal to get stuck into, with the experienced midfielder staying at Lincoln City until the summer of 2028. Join us for the reaction and debate, and let us know your thoughts in the comments. Who was your man of the match, and how important is keeping Reach at the club?

It's been a while, but Team Bemily are back on podcast duty, as Ben and Emily discuss the successful appeal of Deji Elerewe's red card against Millwall, and look forward to the weekend's action against Burnley at Sincil Bank! We also take a couple of questions, and discuss the recent FAB minutes, which confirmed that a consultation is underway with regard to a potential ticketing loyalty scheme for away games.

The Stacey West Championship Show is back, and this week we're taking a closer look at two clubs experiencing very different fortunes in the Championship. First up, it's Blackburn Rovers, who have enjoyed an impressive rise up the table in recent weeks. We look at what's changed, what's driving their improved results, and whether the underlying statistics suggest their recent form is sustainable or if there are still reasons for concern. We then turn our attention to Preston North End and their difficult start under new manager Graham Alexander. 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.

With Gary out of action through illness, Ben and Chris are with you to look back at the Millwall game! We go over the key moments, lament the missed opportunities and ultimately feel quite positive about things that, in the moment, felt really frustrating. Attention then gets turned to the Independent Football Regulator's report, which made for some incredibly sobering reading on the state of the game. We've got a week to prepare for Burnley, so we'll see you on Wednesday! Up the Imps This Podcast has been created and uploaded by members of The Stacey West Podcast.

Ben and Charlie are with you to try and pick what we can out of the West Ham game. On a bad night on the pitch, there were some bits to be proud of! We also take a look at where we think changes are going to come in going forward, with the imminent suspension to Conor McGrandles, will we see a more pointed changing of the guard? We also take a brief look ahead to the weekend's fixture at The Den, get yourself to the YouTube channel to check out Kyle's preview!

The Stacey West Championship Show is back, and this week the focus is on Watford, QPR and the latest chapter of the South Coast derby between Southampton and Portsmouth. There is a closer look at Watford’s season so far, what the underlying numbers are telling us, and whether their performances match their league position. The show also digs into QPR, assessing their strengths, weaknesses, recent form, and what their realistic ambitions should be as the season begins to take shape. There is also a full discussion around Southampton v Portsmouth, looking at the derby itself, what it means for both sides, and whether the result changes the way we view either club’s season.

Gary and Emily take us past half a century with analysis from Sheffield United. Lincoln City's 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United gives Gary and Emily plenty to disagree about in episode 501 of the Stacey West Podcast. Emily wasn't impressed with what she saw at Bramall Lane, while Gary has arrived armed with enough stats to get another xG argument going. We discuss the missed chances, defensive mistakes, team selection and whether this could be the moment for some of our summer signings to get their opportunity. There's also the away day experience to pick over, from the flat atmosphere to crowded steps and chaotic food queues, although Gary's chicken pie and roast potatoes seem to have gone down rather better. Back at Sincil Bank, we discuss the temporary stand becoming a home supporters area and welcome the news of Tendayi Darikwa's new contract. We also reflect on our 500th episode interview with Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw, their partnership and the signed shirt Gary appears determined to keep. There's a quick word on West Ham, plus the usual diversions involving live music, a gold chain and a rather expensive piece of Lincoln City history.

We've reached 500 episodes of The Stacey West Podcast! To celebrate, we're joined by Lincoln City head coaches Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw for a special conversation about their partnership, their journey and leading the Imps in the Championship. Chris and Tom explain how they first came together, why sharing the head coach role felt natural and what happened behind the scenes when Michael Skubala left. We also hear why Lincoln kept drawing Chris back, while Tom revisits his memorable appearance in an Imps shirt at Accrington. The pair discuss the challenges of Championship football, the trust they place in our players and the areas they've been working on during the international break. They also reveal their personal highlights so far, including a training session that told them plenty about the character of this squad. There's time for former Imps favourites, lessons from the managers they played under, competitive pool matches and the serious business of Tom's fist pumps! Thank you to everyone who has listened, watched and supported us along the way. Enjoy episode 500, and subscribe for more Lincoln City interviews, discussion and analysis. Hosted on Acast.

Ben and Chris are here for your midweek pod, and with the international break in full swing, there's not a huge amount of news coming from the Bank.

We also take some questions from the floor, and it wouldn't be a football podcast without talking about the biggest story in the game right now, would it? Up the Imps.

The Stacey West Championship Show is back, and this week Charlie and Chris take stock of the season so far as the Championship reaches the international break. With the first eight games now played, the lads look at the teams who have surprised them most, both positively and negatively, including a closer look at Derby County’s difficult start to the campaign and why things have not quite clicked so far. There is also a full check-in on the three promoted sides and the three relegated sides, asking who has overperformed expectations, who has underperformed, and who is roughly where we thought they might be at this stage. Charlie and Chris also look across the wider league table, early trends, standout stories, and what the opening stretch might tell us about the rest of the Championship season.
