Bunker Buster Saves Blues Blushes [Yeovil Town (A) Review, Hornchurch (H) Preview] - Season 26/27, Episode 8

A 660-mile round trip down to Somerset, a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser, and our first point of the season on the board!

It might have been tense and frustrating afternoon at Huish Park, but the Blues showed plenty of character at Huish Park to salvage a 1-1 draw late on against Yeovil. Now, attention turns straight back to Brunton Park as we welcome high-flying Hornchurch for our first-ever meeting with the Urchins.

In this episode, we run through the latest transfer activity around the squad before getting stuck into the Yeovil debrief - breaking down Harvey Bunker’s flying start to life in blue, how Adam Desbois fared on his debut in goal, whether the Cameron Harper midfield experiment is paying off and if Jonah Lowes is ready to be thrown into the starting XI.

We then look ahead to Saturday’s clash against an in-form Hornchurch side, discuss what it’ll take to make Brunton Park a fortress again, and somehow end up falling down a rabbit hole about the Anglian Ice Age (no, seriously).

Lots discussed in this episode, including:

• 📰 News Desk: Squad movements as Luke Skinner arrives on loan, plus loan departures for Seb Mason and Amaru Smith
• 🧤Yeovil Town (A) Reviewed: Harvey Bunker’s late heroics, midfield balance dilemmas, Desbois’ debut & Jonah Lowes pushing for starts
