Argh. Sunderland.
Somehow I managed to pick my chin up off the floor to talk about Sunderland's poor form and preview our next disappointment - a home game against Doncaster Rovers.
Top lad Adam from @DRFC_ITEN joined me to preview one of Sunderland's toughest tests of the campaign.
• Adam nailed the Parkinson appointment on his last appearance, so what does he make of Lee Johnson as a head coach?
• Doncaster's great run of form vs a surprise midweek defeat at Fleetwood Town
• How are they coping with the loss of Ben Whiteman?
• For Donny Rovers, is the aim now the title?
& much, much more.

A last-minute leveller for Gillingham put pay to our hope for three league wins in a row, but a 3-0 win over MK Dons in the quarter-finals in the Papa John's Trophy last nights sets us up for Saturday's Rendevous quite nicely.
To preview Saturday's game is Liam from @MK1Podcast, who made his second appearance on the pod!
• Does last night's Papa John's Trophy have any bearing on the weekend game?
• Will Grigg may be the worst signing we've ever made - but how do MK fans feel about re-signing him?
• Is Scott Fraser the best midfielder in League One?
• Which Sunderland player impressed Liam most in our 3-0 win last night?
& much, much more.

It was a full house this week, as Scott, Ian, Jack and Connor joined Graham to chat, what can only be described as, semi-serious verging on 'oh my God is it still lockdown, for falk sake' patter.
It's a good 'un.

• Why Shane Duffy is the worst centre half in the history of the Scottish Premiership.
• Scott has been online keyboard fighting with two Motherwell captains.
• Never kick the head off a snowman or you will get bad karma.
• Ian hates Rich Energy?
• Steve Evans is not cool, and defenders should not wear number 10 - ever, Bevis Mugabe is a record breaker and Ross Stewart's Daw is dead sound.

It's a Sunderland transfer special!
Sunderland manager Lee Johnson added Rangers' Jordan Jones and Southampton full-back Jake Vokins and looks likely to add Ross County striker Ross Stewart - but are they any good?
We spoke to The Athletic's Southampton correspondent Dan Sheldon, Iain from Highland Football Weekly and Wullie from Rangers' ThisIsIbrox podcast to get the lowdown on the trio.
• The strength's and weaknesses of the trio
• Is Ross Stewart better, or worse, than highly rated fellow Scots Lawrence Shankland and Kevin Nisbet?
• Should there be concern around Jordan Jones alleged attitude problems - or is that all a load of guff?
• A comprehensive summary on each player.
& much, much more.

Sunderland are utterly depressing - and sometimes I wonder why I do this. Alas, we are back with another preview show.
Shrewsbury Town's best podcast make their second appearance of the season, only this time it looks like myself and Ollie from @Salopcast may be discussing a game this isn't called off.
• Shrewsbury's Covid-19 outbreak was worse than most - how much has the health of manager Steve Cotterill put football into perspective?
• Donald Love! Why don't Shrewsbury play him, play him - no more?
• Unbeaten in eight for Shrews, no home win in three months for the lads - are Salop the favourites?
• Have Sunderland lost their fear factor?
