This week's edition includes post-match interviews with Telford player-coach Tom Watkins and Milton Keynes player-coach Nick Poole.
Telford Tigers player-coach Tom Watkins believes confidence could be the key to solving his side's scoring problems after they ended the weekend with just three goals from two games.
A 7-2 loss at Basingstoke Bison on Saturday night was followed by a 3-1 defeat at home to Milton Keynes Lightning 24 hours later.
Telford's record places them at the bottom of the English Premier League's scoring chart with just 11 goals from eight games - nine less that the next lowest-scoring side.
But Watkins is sure his side were close to pulling off a second successive home victory on Sunday after Josh Bruce gave them a first period lead.
He said: "We played well tonight in places and it was just a couple of lapses in the third period that lost us the two points. The game was there for the taking.
"We conceded the second goal and I'm not sure we had the belief to come back from that.
Confidence
"It is a real shame. We are struggling for goals, but the only way to get goals is to work as a team and in the last ten minutes I thought we went a bit flat."
Milton Keynes coach Nick Poole, meanwhile, was happy to come with two points after seeing his side suffer an early scare.
He said: "I'm pleased with the win, but it took us about 35 minutes to get into the game, which was disappointing.
"All credit to Telford, they work hard and it is easy to why they have they upset some teams this year. I'm just happy to get out of there with the points."
Telford's goals on Saturday night, meanwhile, came from Andy McKinney and Jiri Hanzal.
Work on curing that lack of confidence in front of goal will start in training this week - and Watkins will start looking at his own performances first of all. He added: "It's the team, myself included. I have got to start creating more. Good offense starts from the back, but we need to be mindful that good defence usually wins game. We are getting there.
"Tonight against MIlton Keynes was pretty tight. We know we can do better and that is the disappointment."
Telford will be looking to get back to scoring – and winning – ways next weekend when they take on Sheffield Steeldogs and Slough Jets.
