Corr is in his 30s, was recovering from 13 months out and has a history of leg injuries. Any sane assessment of the situation must have considered his availability a bonus rather than an expectation. Uche was our only fit striker capable of playing the Derry way and the reserve we brought in is...

Certainly having Corr fit all season would've helped our play off ambitions - as would signing an experienced striker in January, when it was obvious Corr and Mcgurk would be little or no use for the run in. I can see that it has made Derry's job harder but what I can't excuse is his response...

I've also been ranting to all that will listen about how much we're under achieving and how dull the football is. Which means that we'll bend Stevenage over and give them a damn good roasting, with some slick, high-paced, courageous play. Derry will make a jibe in his interview about the fans...

Derry has already made it clear that we can't compete with a big club like Carlisle, so we'll likely play for a 0-0. Which would be a good ploy if we had a solid defence. That said, rumour has it Brad Halliday is back. He might decide that he's had enough of aimless long punts towards a...

If the last year or so has taught us anything it's that you play Berry behind the striker. He's our best player and you don't move him to accommodate anyone else. I'd be tempted to see how Maris does playing centrally but deeper - he doesn't mind putting a foot in, likes to drive forward with...

Yup. You started thinking about the next match and resting key players and we almost embarrassed you. We would've done in fact, if we had any quality.

I respectfully disagree with the Doncaster fan above. We were fucking gash and deserved to lose by more.

Game off - waterlogged pitch.

As we're talking Hartlepool and there might be some Pools fans reading this, did you lot catch the interview with Carroll when he joined us? He mentioned that he was shocked by how much more intense our training sessions are. That surprised me as it seems like the sort of thing a new signing...

Carroll has been ok. I haven't seen anything so far to suggest he's any better than Greg Taylor or that he was worth paying a fee for. Other Us may disagree with me but my impression is that he lacks bravery; doesn't appear to make many challenges or win aerial battles and also a bit hesitant...

Dammit. Sounds like we were doing quite well and then caught out by a counter attack. Annoying.

So we go with: Norris Halliday, Roberts, Legge, Carroll Dunne, Newton Mingoia, Berry, Dunk Ikpeazu Looks strong and attacking. Great news that dunk and halliday are back. Just hope they're fully fit and we attack with some pace and width.

Mansfield deserved to win. We were on top in the first 20, took the lead and looked good. Then Evans and Raynor got up to their usual antics and unsettled us, the game and the ref. They took control, increased the physicality and we didn't have an answer to it. In panic we spent the rest of...

Although I don't want to see us sell Berry, I'm really intrigued as to the sum we'd sell for. We haven't had such a saleable asset for years and we're not desperate for cash, which is a rare situation in our history. I'd be annoyed if we sold him for less than £1m but I wonder if our Board...

We're coming into a tough run of games now; Blackpool (h), Mansfield (h), Luton (a). Get through that lot unbeaten and I'll be delighted. As for this one... who knows. I sort of expect a win given our current form, but a draw may not be a terrible result come the end of the season.

Berry is one of the best attacking midfielders in League 2. His last 3 seasons with us have led to 14, 16 and 15 (so far this year) goals. He'll do a job on the flank or as a holding player but is far less effective. His strengths are his athleticism and technique - he excels when harrying...

Draw please.

I've heard that we're close to signing Hampton and Richmond striker Nicke Kabamba.

Your bench will be full of ex-Cambridge players - assistant manager plus coaches Danny Webb and Omar Riza are ex-Us. We'll have 1400 there so it'll be 6000+ won't it?

I think we'll draw or lose this one. As long as we follow it up by beating Notts County (which we should) we'll still be in the play off race and confidence should be high ahead of Blackpool and luton.
