Feisty first half, U’s living a little dangerously at times but creating some good chances too. No idea how this is still 0-0.
I fear the Scum may nick a goal second half…
Sorry, but Cambridge United have the 'Worst team in division 3/league 1 ever' award sewn up:
1984/5 - Played 46, W 4, D 9, L 33; F 37 A 95 ;Pts 21
We were basically bankrupt, and had an idiot (John Ryan) as manager for the first half of the season and a nearly dead person (Ken Shellito) for...
Stevenage away - a bogey team for us on a good run of form and us being poor at taking anything way from the Abbey - was always going to be tough, but with a squad that looked out on its feet for the last ten minutes against Oxford and with no recognised strikers fit apart from a 17 year old, it...
Oxford scored their winner in the 5th minute of stoppage time for the second year in a row - we should have been out of sight in the first half, but with no strikers on the pitch scoring was always going to be difficult for us.
Harsh not to get a point out of that, but at least that's five...
Sho
Should be a decent atmosphere then - we are close to selling out the Main Stand and have started selling some seats in what is usually the away end which will be split home and away for this one apparently.
We are much improved over the last three games, with eight goals compared to about...
One sloppy goal given away early, and a random ricochet from a clearance at a corner for the second.
That said, Barnsley are very dominant of possession and look pretty slick, so even more annoying that we gave them a goal start.
We’ve had two very good chances but haven’t put them away - hard...
Point at Derby, we didn’t really look like scoring but restricted County to a couple of good headed chances, both of which they missed.
Really solid backs to the wall defending…
Re ‘B’ teams, I see that the lates proposal is official ‘B’ teams from all Euro participant clubs (so top seven) in the League Cup.
What does that do to the TV value of League Cup rights when it is officially Liverpool/Man City/Arsenal ‘B’ v Cambridge? Not to mention what crowd will turn up at...
I’m quite happy Cambridge have no players in that list - we have no stand-out performers but few, if any, weak links and strong teamwork.
That way one injury doesn’t disable the season…
Three of the four home areas sold out at the Abbey - five hundred terrace tickets left in the final area.
Will be close to a sell-out again!
No idea how this one goes - both teams improved significantly on last season, both still capable of having a poor game; could be any result!
I’ll be...
