Have really enjoyed the pod and massively appreciated the efforts of the boys since discovering it a couple of years back. But I do feel they need to be wary of one thing, particularly with Jake now leaving. Most episodes inevitably revolve around discussing the previous result (as you'd expect). But increasingly it sounds like a declining number of the BSLB actually go to or even watch the games. Now I totally get that under the current regime. It's understandable, probably even very sensible. There are loads of valid reasons not to go. Life and family can get in the way. Finances might now allow it. You may simply be too depressed after watching the slow-motion car-crash of mismanagement in recent years (the wasted potential, the kamikaze decisions, Harry Winks etc). But not watching the game does become problematic if you're hosting a topical weekly podcast about your team. If you don't watch the game or are only talking about it on the basis of watching the extended highlights (as one of the guys said in the last episode), you can't give a properly informed opinion on it. As a Foxile who lives on the other side of the world and can only watch the games on TV, a big part of the reason I listen to the BSLB is that I want to hear about what's really happening with my team from people who know what they're talking about and closer to the action. I suspect there are lots more like me. Hopefully, it's just a minor blip and the rejigged pod team soon bed down just like our new look midfield. Which I guess means that Goddars has to be Lundstrum, adding a bit of nous and much-needed steel.
