This week we had the pleasure of having Marty Longstaff - AKA The Lake Poets - join us to discuss Saturday’s victory over Wimbledon, the reaction to comments made on the last Podcast with Stewart Donald, and his career as a singer-songwriter (before finishing off the Pod with a little treat for us all!) You can listen in, for free as usual, on Acast, iTunes, Spotify, and of course YouTube, Get stuck in!

What are we talking about?

Saturday's match; Was it quite as dull as people thought, and are we looking at 3 points on the board with a little too much negativity?
Tactics; Are set pieces ever going to be a strength of ours? Will Connor ever get his wish of playing Sweet Luke further forward?
Social media; The lads respond to Saturday's revelations about personal attacks and threats made against our owner and his family over the transfer window, and take a look at how social media as a whole may possibly be impacting the team's performance and the player's mentality.
Atmosphere at the SoL; Are we doing enough, and could we do more?
Marty talks about his life as a MLF and waxes lyrical on some fascinating aspects of songwriting and the creative process;
How he found himself providing the intro for the Netfflix series - Sunderland Till I Die, and his experience of the world's reaction to his music;

Finally, after Alex loses £50 live on air, we've made a slight adjustment to our outro this week, courtesy of The Lake Poets. Spoiler alert: It's absolutely beautiful! Listen In!
