    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Monk soon hopefully, bloke's a moron. Not that our squad is any good at all but when you continously don't play your best players and play others out of position then it's only going to end one way. Defeat at Mansfield in two weeks will set the wheels in motion.

    League 1 General Chat Thread

    3 is far too low a number to get games called off now there are 7 subs on the bench, should be 5 call ups at least to get a postponement, and only counting players in the first team (so no 16 year old from your youth team getting called up to play for Malta U17s). Get on with the damn games on...

    17th-18th August Fixtures

    That was embarrassing. I was told at lunchtime we were going 4 at the back to counter what Crawley would do, which is 1) bonkers when we played so well on Tuesday and 2) crazy when we have been shit for the last few years against 3 at the back, which Crawley play, when we play 4-2-3-1, which we...

    I'm in, currently Blair Walsh Project but also probably time to change to something a bit more topical than something that was in 2016.

    10th August Fixtures

    On Monk yes, I said as much in the Carabao Cup thread, we were outstanding, best I've seen us for years. Obviously we need to keep it going rather than revert to what we looked like on Saturday and for all but 2 games of his reign last season, but at least it showed something was getting...

    Carabao Cup 2024/25

    Having slagged him off a bit on Sunday then full credit to Monk, we were outstanding last night especially in the second half and could have had 4 or 5. We have to transfer that into Saturday and given how Crawley seem to play hopefully that will give us a chance as I suspect we'll be less...

    10th August Fixtures

    7 out of 11 from last season's team that nearly got us relegated started and we looked absolutely garbage. What a surprise. Our pre-season was a shambles, we have the same recruitment issues going into the season we had last year, we have half a dozen players who wouldn't have looked out of...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    A fee and a 3 year contract, bloody hell. Hopefully we're signing Assombalonga too and playing with 1 up front so he's third choice.....but a fee and a contract that long is, worrying.

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Maybe I'm grossly underestimating the market given where we're shopping, but I think anything over 250k is grossly overpaying, so the numbers being banded about, even if a third of it is dependent on him getting to the moon, seem bonkers to me. He's fine, he's a decent finisher and he's...

    Fixtures Released

    Birmingham away on an international weekend and Charlton away on Boxing Day are a bit annoying, but they've been pretty kind to us with Tuesday nights, at least until Sky get their mitts all over it anyway. Having said that Stockport is a good one for a 5.30 on the opening day.

    There's someone out there who can make a Championship player out of Lankester, but it wasn't any of our 3 managers he had whilst here. Was supposed to be the replacement for Hoolahan but never really took the place by the scruff of the neck (neither has anybody else to be fair). Was probably...

    Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

    Our capacity is a bit of a mystery and seems to constantly get reduced, so hard to tell. Ipswich bought 2500 in 2021 when they had South Stand and South Habbin, so that's about 1100 in the terrace. But knock off 100 for the seats going in, so probably 1000, depending on what segregation they...

    Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

    Away fans at Cambridge to be moved into half of the Habbin terrace (at the side of the pitch) next season, with 100 seats bolted on so home fans have full use of the stand behind the goal. Good news, you won't be 10 miles from the pitch anymore. Bad news, pretty sure that will mean a reduced...

    Next season's squad

    Goalkeepers: Jack Stevens - As described to us when we signed him, started well but fell to pieces the first minute things started going wrong. Under contract, but try and get rid. Will Mannion - Generally solid and unspectacular, but has a howler in him and a habit of watching balls go past him...

    Final day fixtures

    No chance our lot will get the job done, weak as piss the majority of them, so we'll be in the hands of others. I have a decent amount of belief in Fleetwood for a team already down, and it seems like the Cambridge fan managing Stevenage is going full strength and will hopefully have them up for...
