A mixed spell for Stretford Paddock as we look back on a defeat away at high flying Daten and a cup tie against Wythenshawe that was settled on penalties.

Chris is joined by Stu, Liam and Notch to reflect on the Daten performance and what it says about where Paddock are right now, before turning to the cup win, the mentality shown, and the importance of continuing to progress in knockout football.

An honest assessment of two very different tests and what they mean for the season ahead.

Coming from behind seems to be becoming a habit.

Two positive results against Winsford and Congleton, both after slow starts, showed plenty of character and gave Paddock some much-needed momentum.

This week Stu, Liam and Craig join Chris to look back on both games, talk about why we keep making life difficult for ourselves, and preview a big test next up against second-placed Daten.

Plenty to enjoy, plenty to question, and plenty to talk about.

After a tough run of form, performances against Billinge and Egerton finally gave Paddock something to build on, even if there’s still plenty to work on.

This week, Stu and Lewis join Chris to look back on both games, focusing on what’s improved and what still isn’t quite right.

We also briefly talk about winning a podcast award, before it inevitably goes to our heads.

Two games without a win and performances that haven’t exactly set the world alight.

This week the Paddock fans try to figure out what’s going wrong, what needs fixing and whether we’re in a minor slump or a major crisis.

Plenty of honesty, plenty of laughs and plenty of overthinking for our team that really just needs to start playing well again.

A disastrous and embarrassing showing against Egerton left Paddock players with plenty to answer for to the fans.

But the lads bounced back with a tight, disciplined win over Clay Brow, helped along by our trusty, well-timed set pieces.

This week the Paddock fans break down both games, the frustration, the humiliation, the reaction, and what it all means heading into the next run of fixtures.

Plenty of honesty, plenty of humour, and the usual chat about why we only seem to turn up after a disaster.

A injury time winner against Sandbach United had the Paddock fans flying high before a poor showing against Knutsford brought us straight back down to earth.

This week, Stu, Craig and Liam join Chris to look back on both games, the dramatic winner, the dip in performance, and what it all means heading into the next run of fixtures.

There’s also a slightly less serious debate: who would win in a Royal Rumble between the Paddock first team?

Plenty to unpack, plenty to discuss and as always, plenty of players who won’t be happy with our answers.

In the first episode of Behind The Badge we meet Cam Watters, midfielder, goal threat and occasional wind up merchant, to get to know the man behind the badge.

This isn’t a polished interview. It’s a proper chat: playing for Paddock, working for United, and a few detours into things Cam probably didn’t expect to be asked about. Plus, Cam takes on questions from our club members and his teammates, with answers that range from serious to … less so.

A new strand of the Paddock podcast, shining a light on the players and staff who make the club what it is. Same dodgy humour, same dodgy audio quality.

A 3–0 win over St Helens Town on Members Day capped off a wet and wild afternoon with two penalties (one saved), a red card, and even a bit of a scrap to keep the crowd entertained.

This week the Paddock fans look back on all the drama, the goals, the clean sheet, and the support from those who travelled and turned out in numbers despite the conditions.

Plenty to celebrate and plenty to talk about (now that we’ve dried off).
