Rhys sat down on Sunday night with Ed and Ian to read the runes after Newport County's humbling by Cheltenham Town, and to ask the big questions.
Can Dave Hughes keep his job? What will happen if he goes? Where does our defensive injury crisis leave us? Can we still be in contention for survival come January? Is there even money to strengthen if we are? Is our situation more akin to a bad episode of Ready, Steady Cook or to Icarus?
It's not an uplifting listen, but it is an important reality check - one which ends with a rare Ian Street poetry reading (this time it's Resignation by Lostling).

You can also donate as little as £2 via our ko-fi page towards our running costs - with a special gift coming soon for all monthly contributors. Thanks to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and to the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of great sport and burgers in Newport) for their support of the pod.
We'll be back soon. Until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all - as always - Keep it County!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
