After consecutive defeats against fellow promotion contenders, what better way for United to get back on track ahead of the FA Cup break by recording back-to-back wins against Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United - can those results kick start the Blues' campaign? Is the FA Cup an unwanted distraction? And will the club ever announce a big new signing before we record a podcast? (welcome, Chris Conn-Clarke!)

We look back on the wins over the Monkey Hangers and the Iron before looking ahead to this weekend's FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie with Boston United.

The first big test of the season for the Blues... and it's fair to say, they failed it miserably against an impressive York side. With many of the York goals being the result of United's own failings, can Mark Hughes' side bounce back this weekend, when fellow promotion hopefuls Rochdale make the trip up to Cumbria?

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the 5-0 loss against the Minstermen before looking ahead to the visit of United's most common opponent in first-team fixtures - lots discussed including:

It's four wins in a row for United as they see off Aldershot Town and Altrincham to move into second place in the league - but now comes the real test, with five consecutive fixtures against some of the expected promotion and play-off contenders this season - starting off with a trip to fellow big spenders York City.

The lads look back on the 2-0 win over the Shots and 2-1 victory at Alty, before previewing the trip over to Yorkshire to face the Minstermen.

United's unbeaten start at home this season continues with a comfortable home win over Truro City - and shock horror, there's more genius from Regan Linney. Has there been a better or more impactful signing for the Blues in recent memory?

We look back on the 3-0 win over The Tinners before previewing the visit of free-scoring and conceding Aldershot Town to Brunton Park - and along the way, there's a bit of a discussion about the rumours linking the Blues with Peterborough midfielder Chris Conn-Clarke.

After the disappointing and drab performance at Sutton, United got back to winning ways in midweek with a thoroughly professional performance at Brackley, picking up all three points thanks to a goal from the man of the moment, Regan Linney. That's three wins out of four on our travels so far this season, and all from long trips down south - not a bad start all-round!

The lads look back on the 1-0 win in Northamptonshire before previewing our first ever game against Cornish opposition, as Truro City make the long journey up to Cumbria. Can the Blues make it two home wins in a row and keep up the good early momentum?.

The unbeaten start to the season is over for United as an underwhelming performance at Sutton sees them drop all three points - but can they bounce back straight away with a midweek trip to Northamptonshire to face Brackley?

The lads look back on the 2-1 loss in the capital, before previewing the trip to St James Park - as well as discuss the news of a new but familiar arrival at Brunton Park on-loan...

What was all the worry about? United's unbeaten start continues as they record back-to-back wins for the first time this season in a Bank Holiday double-header - though the six goals scored weren't exactly evenly spread across the two games.

The narrow victory over Wealdstone followed by the battering of Braintree Town at Brunton Park leaves United in third place in the table after five games - can they keep up the momentum this weekend with a first-ever win at early strugglers Sutton United?
