An improved performance from United, but a similar result, as Pompey exploit on mistake to snatch all three points. Are there positives to take from the game, or is the struggle to avoid the drop becoming too big of a task for the Blues?

In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on 1-0 defeat to Pompey - not many chances created, but not many conceded. We ask whether United's slight tweaks in tactics will be enough to help pull them out of the relegation zone.

That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's clash with fellow strugglers Cambridge United, including a chat with Jack from the excellent "Under The Abbey Stand" podcast ahead of the big game.

On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Adam Tiffen in Carlisle. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
