Newport pull off another great escape, but next season MUST be different. So close for Wrexham, but no-one will be more disappointed than the players. Respectable finish for the Swans, time now for Matos to work his pre-season magic and a surprise departure at the Bluebirds. And plenty more ... Always loud and clear on Welsh football from Rob Phillips and Nathan Blake, the man used to talking about it and the one who played it at the top level #football #Podcast #WelshFootball #Wrexham #SwanseaCity #CardiffCity #NewportCounty #Wales #MerthyrTown #CymruPremier #Soccer 00:00:00 Kick-off00:02:24 How relieved is Nathan Blake00:04:10 Recruitment is vital00:07:17 All hail Bobby Kamwa00:10:26 Huw Jenkins needs to get things right this summer00:13:24 Interesting summer for Newport loanees, including Ben Lloyd, Swansea City 00:14:38 Wrexham have had a terrific first season in the Championship00:18:05⁠ Blakey is backing ex-Swan Oli McBurnie's side to make it back to the Premier League00:18:56 Wrexham second worst defence at home 00:20:56 Parky will be backed in the window - two strikers?00:22:22 Swansea's Matos has done a 'marvellous' job00:24:10 Recruitment is key to challenge at the Championship - all three will expect top eight00:30:54 Cardiff City 5-4 defeat - but fans still celebrating00:35:56 All three Championship sides have good strikers00:37:48 Six Welsh derbies has got Blakey salivating 00:39:19 Penybont back in Europe00:41:25 Surprise news that Gavin Ward leaves Cardiff City00:42:55 Last pod of our first season - Are you going to miss us??!00:45:11 Final whistle
