Guessing the lineup today. I would actually personally rather start Kone both remaining games for his development, but I suspect Vokes will start the last game to be applauded off the pitch when subbed.
Tonight will be the farewell home game for Cambridge’s Harrison Dunk, after an impressive 13 years at the club.
Cambridge have a double chance to stick the old-boy curse on us, with Sullay Kaikai (or Kai Kai, KaiKai, Kai-Kai etc for the hard of spelling) and Lyle Taylor in their ranks.
With the latter having something of a reputation for petulance, and having endeared himself little to our fanbase during his short spell with us, I could see Taylor giving it some with his celebrations if he does score tonight.
Always liked Kaikai when we had him, wish he’d played more to be honest. He had a really good G/A to minutes ratio and did some pretty good things for us - his assist for Bayo’s last goal for us at Wimbledon was a peach!
Now that the non league season has finished I wonder whether 1 of the development boys will be on the bench tonight.
Jack Young has Picked up a couple of MOTM awards playing for Wealdstone and Taylor Clark has played plenty of games for Farnborough recently. Scura picked up an injury on Saturday and I’m not sure what has happened to Jasper? Ward and Woodhouse have played a lot for Banbury who got relegated from NLN.
So maybe Grimmer has a knock? Also, interesting that Leahy is captain even with Scowen on the pitch. It definitely does not feel as though we have made a final determination there.
Rumour has it that having "CU" written on the shirt was a marketing gimmick to gain prominence in Portugal as it means * ahem * something in Portuguese.
Comments
Cambridge fans will be more interested in Cheltenham vs Peterborough as Peterborough winning or drawing keeps Cambridge in League One for next season.Kone.
As a mate said to me at the weekend “CU next Tuesday” which I felt was uncalled for🙄
Apparently, Peterborough are likely to field a largely Academy side against Cheltenham, now that they are assured of a playoff place.
Lots of moaning on the CU fans forum about this.
Can’t blame them really. Cheltenham didn’t score for the first dozen or so games, so if you’re still not clear of them it’s your own fault.
There but for the grace of god comes to mind.
One of the worst badges. You don't need the full club name *and* the initials.
Except when you have to differentiate yourself from the other CU.
But....but.....they could still get automatic promotion!

Ravs
Grimmer
Forino
Taff
Lonwijk
Potts
Scowen
Butcher
Sadlier

Kone
I think Luke Leahy will play again today. With Lonwijk being ill on Saturday, he may just start in the bench tonight.
These youngsters seem to bounce back from illness remarkably quickly (assuming and hoping something minor).
I did not actually realize Lonny was ill!

Crikey, I didn’t realise lilo Taylor was still there. Potential for some niggly stuff by the sound of it.
Wrong spelling but appropriate if he still floats around a bit.
Maybe he'll be on the beach today - or at least in the pool by the beach!
I think Blooms mentioned it in his after game summary.

I’m feeling a weird end-of-season 4-4 draw.
(will probably finish 0-0).
If we do win, someone will have to figure out if anyone has ever won four away league games in 10 days before!

I really liked what little we were allowed to see of Kaikai too. Was always baffled that he wasn't being played more.
Tonight's team!
Ravizzoli, Scowen, Forino, Butcher, Vokes, Leahy (c), McCleary, Potts, Lonwijk, Sadlier, McCarthy.
Subs: Shepperd, Tafazolli, Wheeler, Low, Taylor, Kone, Kodua.

It's an end of term game. They've probably brought in their favourite toys for half time.
Vokes brought this in because he's the clever one in the team.
Rumour has it that having "CU" written on the shirt was a marketing gimmick to gain prominence in Portugal as it means * ahem * something in Portuguese.
I assume that's a game that can occupy him and at least three defenders?
I think Cambridge are working on a new badge, too.
