Second best-erfield
Ben and Simon shoot the breeze about a week that saw York fall to two defeats, firstly in a bizarre game against Newcastle U21 in the Jersey Mike’s Trophy, then in a more important fixture at Chesterfield that started brightly but ended with a 2-0 loss and raised questions about our ability to compete with the big dogs of League Two. We discuss what went right and wrong, assess the season so far, and look ahead to this week’s fixtures - find out why Ben’s wife Helen absolutely hates Gillingham! This is a public episode.
