It may only be early December, but the message is clear for Swansea City - this is now a relegation fight. And the next two games - at home to fellow strugglers Oxford United and Portsmouth - could define the whole season.

Wrexham, meanwhile, are looking upwards after extending their unbeaten run to eight games. Manager Phil Parkinson has now reached 200 league games with The Reds, with a hugely impressive 59.5% win rate. With so many clubs now opting for a head coach rather than a more traditional manager, are the likes of Parkinson becoming a rare breed? Iwan and Sam share their experiences of working under some of the best in the business.

Premier League scouts are flocking to Cardiff City to watch Dylan Lawlor, and Rhian Wilkinson can breathe a sigh of relief after claiming a first win for Wales in a tough, yet historically significant, 2025.

Special guest Dave Hughes joins Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes to share his thoughts on his brief spell as Newport County manager, which ended with the sack after just 22 games in charge. The 37-year-old recalls his early days at Aston Villa that saw him break into the first team as a 19-year-old, and takes pride in the development of some of the rising stars he helped develop at Cardiff City. And how he's eager to put down the paint brush and get back on the training ground as soon as possible.

Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes discuss Wales' World Cup play-off draw, that will potentially bring two home games in March, and the magnificent 7-1 win over North Macedonia that wrapped up second place in the group in style.

Life with Cardiff City has started well for Brian Barry-Murphy. The Irishman has a 65% win ratio from his first 20 games. The Bluebirds have spent the majority of the season at the top of League One. A standout win over Wrexham has secured a place in the last eight of the EFL Cup against Chelsea. And host of talented youngsters are starting show their true potential. No wonder he's in relaxed mood as he discusses his first four months in charge, and how he relishes the "refreshingly honest" demands given to him by the owner Vincent Tan.

Cardiff City certainly delivered a statement win over Wrexham in the EFL Cup, giving further evidence of the progress made under manager Brian Barry-Murphy this season. There were plenty of polished performances, but maybe none more so than Rubin Colwill. But will his display - witnessed in person by Craig Bellamy - be enough to force him into the Wales manager's plans for next month's World Cup qualifiers?

Rhian Wilkinson has also been left with plenty of food for thought after two friendly defeats to Australia and Poland extended Wales' poor run to seven consecutive defeats, and no wins in their last 11 games.

And Sam prepares for a return to Newport in the FA Cup with Gillingham.

Carl Roberts, Nia Jones and Rob Earnshaw chat to two members of the Wales squad before Jess Fishlock's farewell match against Australia.

Where would Wales be without Ben Davies? And how will they fill the void once he's gone? Since making his debut in 2012, the 32-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong in the Wales defence, and continues to lead from the front despite limited opportunities at Spurs. He become only the fourth Welshman to reach 100 caps when Wales lost a crucial World Cup qualifier a week ago, but he wants more. Much more.

In between a morning tactical session and gym work at Spurs' training ground, he joins the crew to reflect and his achievement, and, as you'd expect, to reminisce about the magical summer he shared alongside Sam in France during Euro 2016.

There's also a full review of the weekend club action as Cardiff City head back to the top of League One, while Newport County hit rock bottom.

Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes pay tribute to Jess Fishlock following her decision to retire from international football and reflect on two defeats for Craig Bellamy's Wales against England and Belgium.
