Dan makes his first appearance on the pod of 2026 and what at time to do it - an excellent week for United as they pick up two wins, complete two doubles, six points added and six goals scored! (let's ignore the three conceded for now!). The win over FGR puts United firmly in pole position to secure that vital third place in the league... but could they go one or two better?!

We look back on the 3-1 win over Robbie Savage's Vegans before looking ahead to this weekend's fixture against struggling Yeovil Town at Brunton Park. Can the Blues make it three wins in a row?

After the cautious approach at Rochdale at the weekend, it was a bit more front-foot for United in midweek and it paid dividends as they ran out 3-2 winners over Scunthorpe, three points that could be vital in the battle for third place come the end of the season.

With that game out of the way, all focus now is on the trip south to face Forest Green Rovers - another fixture that could be pivotal in the attempts to avoid an extra game in the play-offs could the end of the campaign.

A tight-encounter at Spotland sees high-flying Rochdale come out the winners and keep their grip on top spot - for United, it looks like play-offs or bust this season with 16 games left to play.

We look back on the 1-0 defeat to Dale at the weekend, before previewing the huge midweek clash with Scunthorpe at Brunton Park, where third will face fourth in a battle that could go some way to earning a place directly into the play-off semi-finals come the end of the season.
