Feast of Football - My Barcelona sock collection

Carl Roberts, Lee Trundle and Nia Jones ponder the repercussions of Phil Parkinson's very public criticism of his own players following Wrexham's defeat to Sheffield United. It was a rare show of frustration from the manager at Bramall Lane, but will it have the desired effect as the squad prepare to face leaders Middlesbrough?

There was nothing but praise from Swansea City manager Vitor Matos - and opposing manager Tony Mowbray - after a convincing win over Blackburn Rovers. It's a result, according Lee, that sends a clear message to everyone that the Swans "are here to stay" in the title race.

Newport County continue to impress, even if they do have the worst penalty conversion rate in the Football League, while Nia believes Cardiff City are desperate for an orchestrator in the back four. And Carl reveals his unusual habit of collecting Barcelona socks.
