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.

• 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?

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?

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.
