Mets and Caz are joined by Mike Willet to talk all things Gas.A limp 2-0 defeat at the Kassam was followed by a strong performance at London Road to earn Rovers a point away at Posh.The gang chat about what a difference Oztumer and Nicholson made coming back into the side and how with a bit more composure in front of goal we could have nicked it. At the other end Joe Day faced a barrage of shots, but dealt with them admirably and Alfie was on hand to clear the one he missed.They talk about the areas of the team that need strengthening while the window is still open and the one incoming of George Williams. His arrival had meant Ehmer can go back to his natural centre back position and this paid dividends at Posh with JCH completely shut out.They look forward to the Rochdale game that should be a classic with Dale scoring 15 and conceding 17 in their last six games.Support the show (https://patreon.com/gascast)

Fresh off the back of a main episode appearance, Jake Barber joins Duke at the Sporty for a chinwag about his time supporting the Gas, his vlogging days and the difficulties of being cast into the Rovers spotlight at such a young age. Jake began vlogging as a passion project when he was just fifteen. His videos became an internet smash and was a popular face on the terraces.  As with any internet success though, there are the downsides, and Jake talks about how he struggled to deal with the negative comments that he received both online and in person. We also chat about Jakes vlogs being picked up by the club and producing his vlogs for the club YouTube account. Jake was a delight to chat with and his openness and honesty should be held in high admiration.If you have been affected by anything that was discussed please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/ for a list of organisations that can help. Support the show (https://patreon.com/gascast)
