The transfer window has slammed shut and there's been a fair bit of change in United's squad, but will it be enough to help drag the team away from the relegation zone?

In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle (recorded before Georgie Kelly and Max Kilsby's transfers were announced), Lee is joined by Mike Booth and Dan MacLennan to discuss the departures of Owen Moxon and Joe Garner, before looking back on the comprehensive defeat to Bolton Wanderers last weekend.

That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the capital to face in-form Leyton Orient - we speak to Paul from the Orient Outlook Podcast ahead of this one, discussing how they've adapted to life in the third tier after promotion last season and their long-term hopes for the club.

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

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle and Mike Booth in Formby.
