Send us a textThis week's pod welcomes back statman from his trip to love land with his good lady, there is a certain glow about him that can only be described as 'afterglow'.Chatting about a defeat away at your local rivals isn't always the best way to get an evening of fun underway, but we do our best.Definitely a game of two parts, part of us went to Deepdale, the other part watched on Sky, same result though, we lost and, despite having the lion's share of possession couldn't find a way through the Preston defence.A different story on Tuesday though, what a difference a win makes, much more buoyant about the team, well we are out of the bottom three.Team selection, dives or pens, Perkins, Power and soft goals all discussed, plus the Will Grigg affair!Brentford on Saturday and the crew give their thoughts on the trip, I must say we aren't too positive about our chances and there was I thinking we'd turned a corner!Contact PWU Podcast Tweet us @PWUPodcast or @Worthin

Nathan Byrne made his home debut coming on for the injured Alex Gilbey and playing an hour.Friday sees the Latics travel 15 miles up the M6 for a televised meeting with Preston and we have a chat with North End fan Nick about the fixture, Preston's form and, despite the fact that they have hit 14 goals so far this season, the fact that they just can't score!Si and Barry have a report about what went on at the latest Fans Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday at the DW, from programmes to open days to free away travel, but no mention of goal music or Chicken Balti pies.

Send us a textBarry, Mick, Rob and Adam (P) are in the studio this week and are joined on the phone by Fulham supporter Dan Crawford of HammyEnd.com fame.As you can imagine there is a lot to discuss, Si's Sheffield Wedensday 'Off The Terrace' sets the tone as he pulls no punches.Talk soon switches to the defeat at Norwich and in particular the first goal, what was going on there?It's not all doom and gloom though as the second half performance and the introduction of both Yanic Wildschut and Nathan Byrne proved that there is a strong attacking threat in the team.Next we are joined by Dan from Fulham for a low down on Saturday's opponents and he gives us some hope ahead of the fixture, despite the fact that we haven't beaten the Cottagers in our last 15 attempts!We sign off with a look ahead to the next ten games, there is a belief that we will come out of this coming sequence with a few points under our belts, well we hope!Timecodes:0:00 PG rated intros1:30 Sheff Wed autopsy incl
