Pleased with that - fairly even game but on balance I felt we were the better side. Up to sixth…

The bottom five according to the prediction competition are (starting from the bottom and working up): - Cheltenham - Carlisle - Cambridge - Northampton - Stevenage Neither Exeter or Port Vale were heavily tipped for the drop, although both were picked to go down by a few (including me!)

We have been utterly dreadful - no idea how this performance has appeared given how the first four games went… Orient good value for the three points.

I'm glad it's worked out with you for El Mizouni - he seemed like a good honest guy when he was with us on loan. Idris is bound to have a worldy on Saturday since he's playing against us!

Sure, don't panic yet - you need those injured players back. It's very early days yet. Last season Burton were way behind well into the winter but finished very comfortably.

The Abbey is a pretty standard pitch - it feels small because the stands are quite tight to the playing surface. Decades ago the Aston Villa manager had a massive whinge about our 'small pitch' - it was politely pointed out that it was exactly the same size as the pitch at Villa Park! Van Gaal...

And so, so funny…

Stevenage are a horrible team but very, very effective indeed - they work unbelievably hard, there's always someone right on top of whoever from the oppo has the ball. We gifted them the first goal with a defensive mix-up, worked our balls off to level it up and promptly switched off from the...

We generally have faith in our management to spot players with potential who will improve with the right coaching and support - Mullin, Iredale, Ironside, Smith, Jones were all players we were told weren't good enough for League Two, but all did pretty well. Stevens may let us down, our...

Huge six-point promotion thriller at the Abbey!!

Deservedly 2-0 up at Fleetwood - hopefully we can hang on to this lead and bag a second win...

Fleetwood away - if we play like last Saturday we will be in with a chance…

2-0 up v Oxford and well deserved. Oxford are passing the ball around quite nicely but the real U’s have been far more incisive and created more and clearer chances. It’s been quite fun watching the relegation-favourites playing some pretty decent football. Still 45 to go (well 50-something...

I've looked at all Cambridge's hires compared to this time last season and pretty much every one is an upgrade. We are still one striker and possibly a back-up right back/midfielder short of the final squad yet (no replacement for Smith so far is the only real worry) but it has generally been...

Of the last 60 teams promoted into League One, 10 have been relegated in their first season, one has gone bust, and four have been promoted straight into the Championship. Forty-five out of sixty (75%) have remained in League One after their first season. Of the last 45 teams relegated into...

Cambridge play Spurs U23 tomorrow as well

Fejiri Okenabirhie has also signed an extension at Cambridge; just Paul Digby and Ryan Bennett to settle, plus the new hires (minimum a keeper, a centre mid and two strikers, plus replacements for Digby and Bennett if they don't sign). I'm not expecting Bennett to stay but hopeful for Digby...

When we dropped out of the FL in 2005 our entire youth cohort (one of the best in the bottom two divisions) became free agents and were pillaged, mostly by Southend - it took us many, many years to recover. In the last few years, now our youth scheme is ion good nick again, we've also lost...

Harrison Dunk has signed - now the sixth longest serving professional in English football…
