In this episode of The Wanderer Grounds, Coast reporter Matt Stickland is joined by Josh Healey of Halifax soccer blog Wanderers Notebook to diagnose HFX Wanderers FC’s struggles after the club’s 0-3 home defeat to York United FC. (Coast reporter Martin was listed as DNP: Nephews for Saturday’s match.) The two discuss what’s working—and not working—for the Wanderers after five draws and a loss to start the club’s 2023 Canadian Premier League season.

Later, Halifax defender Cristian Campagna joins to talk pizza, which of his teammates is the worst singer and brushing off a disappointing home result.
