Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
Agree with all this. Big few days ahead, I really hope we see a full back, and another striker come in. A lot of us have droned on about getting Morley or a Morley clone in, today was further evidence this needs to happen, it’s the most important piece of business we will do this season (along with keeping Kone).
With a break from the league, 2 more weeks to get new signings up to speed, more signings to come in, Key players returning from injury, a new manager in the door and very winnable games coming in Feb there’s a lot to be positive about. COYB!
Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
A frustrating afternoon and in the end, that's probably a good point. We really should've been 2 or 3-0 up by the time of the red card - particular missed chances from Humphreys in the first half and Skura in the second - but the red certainly changed the game. Brilliant penalty save from Franco, but the goal was always coming. Annoying last minute winner for Wrexham (again) but the gap extends further over Huddersfield and is still 4 over Wrexham, with a superior GD and them needing to come to AP. It's very much in our hands.
A week off from the league is probably good timing. Get the likes of Kone, Low, Harvie and Grimmer fit, before having an aggressive run at the next 3 games. 9 points on the table there if we turn up.
A word on Sam Grace - 8 points from his 4 games is a superb return in the circumstances. It may seem frustrating for the draws to be against Northampton and Cambridge, but I think we'd all have taken 8 points from those 4 games had the results been the other way with draws Vs Mansfield and Barnsley.
All eyes on Dan Rice over the next few days which could be season defining. One or two more ins, keeping hold of Kone (and Low) and a new Head Coach announcement all hopefully to come before the Preston game.

Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
First time I've told anyone to shut up actually ! Probably the first time ive ever raised my voice on here as it happens. Just sick of it, Was hoping we'd all agreed to disagree and move on, well a lot of us had anyway ! Then someone pipes up again to stir it up. Personally I'm in neither camp as I can see things good and bad from both sides, unlike others ! People are threatening to leave here as its become so bad. @glasshalffull put it perfectly this morning, I'm guessing a lot must have skipped past it. Shame.
Re: Man of the Match - Cambridge (A)
He also pulled off a fantastic one handed save but I can’t remember if it was before or after the penalty save. Probably before.
I’m so pleased to see all the plaudits for Declan Skura. I don’t agree that “…it’s clear that he’s a square peg in a round hole” and if I was still sitting in front of you and your dad (@Slaphead) I’d have withheld the sweets. Does Roy still sit the other side of your dad? Apparently one of my toffees removed a crown or something and cost him £200. He wasn’t best pleased.
I voted for Ravizolli. Saved what could well prove to have been a very valuable point.

Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
Lubala is wasted out wide. It is baffling we refuse to give Berry a chance and have an actual specialist wide player there.
Sads injury has cost us a lot.

Re: Man of the Match - Cambridge (A)
Voted Rav for the penalty save and the one handed save near the end - got us a point.
Scowen was his usual classy self, probably would have got my vote otherwise.

Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
I don't doubt that . Nor do I doubt that Rice would also have been involed in the signings earlier in the season . The main point I was making though is that it is a tad early to suggest any of the new signings are likely to be duds !

Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I got the goat Wendoverman. because all this Shev does is criticise the two Sam's who are doing a brilliant job and actually getting more points than the previous manager. Also constantly criticises Dan Rice's decision's. If you listen to pre match drills they come across as knowing exactly what they are doing. And no I don't think they should stay in the job for the rest of the season. But his constant digs at all three of them are out of order. If he thinks that Bloomfield is so wonderful perhaps he should go and support Luton.

Re: Match Day Thread: Cambridge
Can you stop telling everyone to shut up when there’s a mention of Rice? He is the gaffer after all.

Oh @Kim_il_Swan I tip my hat to you for your humour and excellent sense of double negatives!
