Behind Enemy Lines: Worthing (H) - Season 26/27, Episode 5

Welcome to our very first standalone edition of Behind Enemy Lines! From now on, our opposition preview chats are getting their own dedicated bonus episodes dropping on matchday mornings before every weekend and midweek fixture to get you prepped for kick-off. To open the National League campaign, Lee is joined by Worthing fan James from the Rebel Yell Podcast (@RebelYellPod) to get the lowdown on the Rebels as they prepare to play at Step 1 for the first time in their 140-year history. The fixture computer hasn't been gentle on Worthing - handing them a 700-mile round trip for their debut - but after clinching the National League South title last season, optimism is sky-high on the south coast.  In this episode, we discuss: 🏆 The Title Campaign: How Worthing scored 99 goals on their way to the title, the return of Adam Hinshelwood, and transitioning to a full-time squad. ⚽️ Tactics & Key Men: Playing out from the back, the Brighton academy connection, and players to watch – including Ballers League star Razak Coleman De-Graft. 🗞️ Transfer Shock: Breaking transfer news as Worthing’s 23-goal striker Brad Dolaghan was sold just minutes before we started recording! 🔵 Ex-Blues Watch: Looking back at David Ajiboye’s cult hero status down at Woodside Road. 🚌 The 700-Mile Away Day: 4:30 AM coaches, open terraces, and Worthing FC putting money behind the bar for travelling fans in the Brunton Park Fan Zone! 🔮 Opening Day Prediction: James puts his neck on the line with an opening day score prediction. Thanks again to James for joining us and keep an eye out for future Behind Enemy Lines episodes across the season.
