There’s all sorts of speculation from our end on what happened but the general consensus is that he felt he was not being fully supported, and wanted more control over transfer policy. It certainly wouldn’t have made sense to me to change at a point where he was doing so well other than if...

not surprised, here's hoping that there's no Becchettis in the consortium.

well OK, you weren't great that day but there's a big difference between a decent side having a bad day at the office, and one that looks like a shitshow week in, week out. I didn't see our game v Posh, but it sounds like maybe they could be that side this season, certainly I've read a bunch...

Luke Williams now added to the list of available candidates for Cambridge to choose from...think he's one of those tippy-tappy managers though, it's great if you can afford the players to pull that style off, but if not...

Looking at form over the last 10, Mansfield's run has obviously been concerning. Looks like Burton and Shrews still have a chance, Posh is well in front in terms of the contenders most likely to get right into the shit. Exeter a bit of a question mark, given that their only recent win was v...

The first rule of football manager HR policies.

Yeah, I think Warne is a good shout, good experience, proven success and a fairly pragmatic style. As you say though, much depends on the resources he’d have to play with - most lower league clubs would struggle to back him to anywhere near what he’d have been used to with Derby, especially...

That is shambolic. Terrible timing from the Cambridge board, too little too late. If you’re going to shitcan the manager, do it before January, give the new guy whatever room you can to ship out the deadwood and get some survival signings in. Now things just look too far gone. I suppose...

I don’t see what more they can do in all honesty if they find the guy and ban them. You can’t account for individuals behaving like arses, all any club can do is show zero tolerance and make it clear that that’s their policy.

I certainly wouldn’t say Udoh is poor, he is physical and skilful and definitely a pain in the arse for defenders, looking to turn off them and run past them. And yes, he was absolutely doing the best he could with the (limited) service available to him. But Kone is a cut above, that was more...

Mike Dodds, but yeah, he’s got a job on his hands. If most of our new signings are not making a contribution, one good reason is that most are not even getting in the squad?! Seems crazy to me, yes obviously it’s a squad game and we will clearly need strength in depth, but we already had that...

If you can chuck men behind the ball, you may well be good for a point - or even more, if you've got any pace in the counter. Our home form started to tail off when teams figured out that we're not that great against a low block, but we're not that great at hoofball either now since we've no...

Only half of the teams have a midweek game this time round, catching up games in hand. Probably a good time for Brovers to play us, at a point where our home form has turned mediocre, Kone is crocked, and their form is on an upturn. We’ll certainly have to be far more on our game on Tuesday...

We weren't great today, missing Kone badly up front, and Crawley defended and scrapped well. Largely forgettable fare, but what's more confusing is that barely any of the January signings we've made are featuring in the matchday squad (let alone starting). I'm hoping this is not...

I seriously doubt that would happen with your resources. I don't know the contractual situation of your current squad, but I'm sure that there are plenty of players that you'd be shipping out, and getting in reinforcements in the close season. We only got relegated by a whisker in our one...

Absolutely not complaining about this, and it's great that the fixture isn't being rescheduled, but I'm quite surprised that our 15th March home game v Wxm hasn't been picked for Sky, considering some of the games they choose...

I haven't seen Bolton post-Evatt's departure but traditionally they have been one of the more ball-to-feet sides in the division, and Ainsworth's spoiling tactics can work quite well against that kind of side.

Couple of relegation dogfight belters in there, Cambridge v Exeter and Gas v Burton being potential brown trousers classics. We have the mighty Crawley away, them having come off the back of a respectable win v Stevenage. We’re still yet to truly settle as a team post-the loss of Bloomfield...

Wellll…you’ll have to get at least 2 goals for that to happen, given Joe Low should be good for one against you.

Just over half the teams in the league are in action this Tuesday: Don’t fancy Cambridge’s chances much but maybe they see it as a free hit. Sticking with the relegation dogfight, will be interesting to see if Shrews can keep up recent form against an inconsistent Reading side.
