Under The Abbey Stand

It was a game too far for Harris’ United side, as they conceded the first goal once again to give themselves a tricky afternoon in tough conditions against Plymouth. Despite a late rally, they couldn’t complete another remarkable comeback, leaving them 6th in League One ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday. Both games are covered by Matt, Jord and Tom in this bumper review and preview show, alongside some reflections on John Vaughan from friend of the pod Doug Shulman.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

This late drama stuff is an awful lot of fun, isn’t it? It was Bradshaw rescuing a point against Wimbledon a few weeks ago, Lavery smashing home to secure all three at Oakwell, and Wycombe’s Connor Taylor the hero on Tuesday night. Tom and Swindle are on hand to review that game and look ahead to the next opponents facing up to Harris’ mightily impressive U’s on Saturday, Plymouth Argyle. They’re joined by the Argyle Life podcast to get an opposition preview.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

Shayne Lavery’s last-minute winner gave United all three points on Saturday, and that meant that at the 10 game mark, Neil Harris’ team occupy a play-off spot and are just one point off top. Jules, Jord and Tom are in bullish spirits as they look back over the game, and look ahead to the visit of Wycombe on Tuesday night.VOTE FOR UTAS IN THE FSA AWARDS - Best Club Podcast and Fan Media categories: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/fsa-awards-nominations-2026Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

We all got a nice Tuesday night without United this week, but don’t get used to it. After a trip to Oakwell this weekend, it’s two busy weeks of League One action, with Harris’ outfit trying to keep pace at the top end of the division. The first test is a trip to Yorkshire, and for the third week in a row it’s Matt and Swindle on hand to look ahead to the game, alongside an opposition view from Andy at the Red All Over podcast.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

You can’t ask for better Saturdays than that really. United added another three points to the tally with a 1-0 win against ten-man Blackpool, and secured that first elusive clean sheet of the season. Tom and Jord are on review duties, looking back over the game and daring to start asking whether the U’s might start looking up the table rather than down.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

It’s back to League One action for United, and back to Preview Show duties for UTAS. Ian Evatt’s Blackpool come to the Abbey looking to get their season back on track after a poor run, but Harris’ U’s will have plenty to say about that. Matt and Swindle are on the show looking ahead to the game, and they’re joined by Jack Fallon for an opposition preview of the game.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

Another game, another half-time deficit to overcome. The U’s eventually made the pressure tell and found a last-gasp equaliser thanks to Zak Bradshaw at the back post in a goal basically no one saw. Jordan, Caspell and Jules are the three tasked with another Monday morning pod to go through the major talking points and even attempt an impromptu Jersey Mike’s themed quiz.To get any pods from UTAS over the international break, you’ll need to be a Coconut Tier member.

The good news is we have a football match to watch this weekend, as the new extended international break claims most of the third tier’s schedule. The bad news is alongside injuries it means our call-ups have left the U’s with an extremely depleted squad for what might be one of our biggest games of the season yet. Matt and Swindle are on the pod, looking back at a win in the Jersey Mike’s in the week and trying to figure out what sort of team will be lining up against the Dons.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

In this week’s review show, Jord belts out a perfect intro, Tom gets to chat about Pelly actually being good, and Swindle runs his verdict over the best puns.

It’s been a midweek without a game or a transfer window to distract us. So have the UTAS panel got over the refereeing calamities from Burton and Huddersfield? Well, no. The show starts as it means to go on with the man in the middle from the Burton game very much still the target, But after they vent some more, Matt and Jules find some time to look ahead to the visit of Reading this weekend and are joined by another Matt from Elm Park Royals to get an opposition preview.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

United were minutes from holding out for a perfect week of two away wins. But just like last Saturday, the referee made himself the biggest talking point in the dying minutes of the game, awarding Burton an equaliser from what looked a certain handball. Tom, Jord and Matt are on the review pod to, unfortunately, once again talk about big decisions from the match officials, and look over all the talking points from Saturday’s 2-2 draw.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

Away days are back. And this one involved a mile-long queue, a fantastic goal, and a feeling that the U’s might just have come away with all three points on another day. United headed to Bromley for the second game of the campaign and left with a point after an entertaining 1-1 draw that left fans with positives from the game but seem urgent business to do in the transfer window too.
