    Tuesday 21 Feb/ Sat 25 Feb

    Same team as Tuesday for Cambridge - which is a bit of a worry given two long trips in a week, but we have virtually nothing on the bench other than in the back five…

    The Relegation Thread

    Cambridge were the better side at Fleetwood, but not taking our chances cost us dearly - we can hardly buy a goal at the moment, we desperately need one of our strikers to hit a run of form to give us any chance of dragging ourselves out of this mess. We need a couple of big breaks to have a...

    Tuesday 21 Feb/ Sat 25 Feb

    Important game tonight - the main thing is not to drop deeper into trouble, so avoiding defeat is essential; but if the U’s can sneak three points at Fleetwood we are right back in the pack - here’s hoping…

    Saturday 18 Feb

    Good first half from Cambridge, pretty dominant and 1-0 up, should probably have been more. Hopefully, for once, we will keep going second half…

    Saturday 4th February

    First 20 minutes Ipswich stroked it around really nicely, then we had fifteen minutes where we have been all over them - scored two only for the ref to call the second back to give us a penalty which we then missed… A couple of nasty off-the-ball moments from Ipswich who are getting quite...

    If Port Vale could beat Peterborough, Morecambe, Cheltenham and Accrington we would be very much obliged...

    Thursday 29th & Friday 30th December 2022

    Anything out of this game for Cambridge is a big bonus... we have seven first-sixteen players out with long term injuries, including both first-choice centre backs, the first choice keeper, both left backs, first choice midfield and likely first choice center forward. Other than that we are in...

    United v Plymouth is a surprisingly decent game - Plymouth hit the post but haven’t produced much else, I’d have created a few decent chances but haven’t managed to out one away. 0-0 probably fair…

    w/e Saturday 12th November 2022

    A surprising amount of off the ball niggling from Wanderers - including their forward picking a scrap with Lloyd Jones which is kind of unwise - is this usual?

    Tuesday 16th August 2022

    Portsmouth away is a really tough one for the U's - our first five games are four against expected top 8 teams, plus champions-elect (trademark Devon_Lad) Exeter, so if we come away with any results from the Pompey and Charlton games I'll be pleased. Pigott will score against us - ex-U's ALWAYS...

    As a neutral that Santos second yellow sending off looked harsh - I've seen a card given for that, sure, but I've also seen a lot of yellows not given, especially when the player is already on a yellow. I'd have been a bit pissed off if that had been one of our lads being sent off... We had an...

    Ipswich v MK Dons should be a good game too - Ipswich to push on I suspect. And Plymouth v Peterborough will give Posh credentials more of a test - Plymouth are generally strong at Home Park. I'm looking forward to our game against champions-elect Exeter as well... :)

    Carabao Cup 22/23

    We (Cambridge) beat Cheltenham 5-0 away last season. So what? Cheltenham still had some cracking results against the bigger teams, stayed up comfortably and finishing only two points and one place below us. They had an off day against us, and we had a good day against them, that's all. Exeter...

    1st fixtures: 30th July

    U's starting with a deserved 1-0 win over MK Dons. We started with an eleven that didn't include any of our six new signings; I think that helped with our cohesion and organisation. We had some really good passages of play, especially in the first half, but what really pleased me was how solid...

    Top 6 Bottom 4

    Tough call this year, but I would go for: 1. Wednesday 2. Peterborough 3. Wycombe 4. Ipswich 5. Portsmouth 6. Barnsley 21. Burton 22. Morecambe 23. FGR 24. Fleetwood Bristol Rovers, Exeter and Port Vale I think will stay up, but all will likely be bottom half. Shrewsbury will, I think, be...

    Promotion odds

    Looking at the odds on relegation and promotion together there are some quite interesting anomalies: So the obvious stuff, Ipswich are favourites for promotion and longest odds for relegation; Morecambe are the equal least likely to get promoted and most likely to get relegated (not sure I...

    A big League One welcome to Peterborough United!!

    Since Peterborough have so many friends in League One - Wycombe fans who endured endless bitter rants about snatching 'their' promotion, Cambridge fans who have put up with years of Borough being touted as a 'natural Championship club' trademark Radio Cambs, Darragh whatsisface, Ferguson Jr, etc...
