On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads take a look back at last weekend's shambolic 3-0 defeat at Northampton Town and consider how the Blues can sort out the problems at both end of the pitch as the dreadful summer recruitment efforts really start to come to a head.

There's also a preview of this weekend's FA Cup First Round clash with non-league side Horsham at Brunton Park. This includes:

• A chat with Horsham fan John Dalby, who tells us about their FA Cup adventures this season and the story behind "The Lardy Army"
• A look back at some of United's clashes with non-league sides down the years
• A look at the one player who has played for both clubs
• And the usual run-down of how the opposition has got on this season.

On top of all this, there's the usual news round-up and catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined online by Dan MacLennan 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.
