🎙️ BEHIND ENEMY LINES: Scunthorpe United with the Iron Hour Podcast! 🕵️‍♂️🔨

It’s a massive Bank Holiday encounter at Brunton Park as the Blues host Scunthorpe United - and we’ve gone straight into the opposition camp to get the full story!

Lee sat down with Barra from the Iron Hour Podcast to unpack what's been happening at Glanford Park ahead of the match:

📉 The Reality Check: Navigating a sluggish start to the season, managing expectations after last year’s 5th-place play-off run, and the slide from the Championship to Step 2 and the start of the journey back.

🪄 Replacing the 'Cheat Code': The massive void left by Callum Roberts (27 goal contributions last season), spreading the goal load, the strange Connor Smith transfer saga, and losing skipper Callum Howe to injury.

🔄 Shared Connections: Hugh Parker’s loan arrival from Hull City (after Scunthorpe accidentally leaked their own signing!), Brad Nicholson’s long-throw weapon, and Harvey Bunker’s impressive form after his past stint at Glanford Park.

🧱 Sensible Foundations: Sustainable ownership following years of boardroom turmoil, balancing the budget, and competing in an open National League.

🚌 Bank Holiday Away Day: 500+ travelling Iron fans, live coverage on DAZN, and Barra putting his neck on the line with a score prediction for Monday afternoon.
