I have to agree, Anderson is a pretty solid player as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't have the pace of Edwards on the other side, but I don't get why he gets the hate. Maybe as you said, he's the next target after Tom Hopper left? Who wasn't a bad footballer btw. |

...and of course Noah Chilvers on the losing side, though he was subbed a minute before St Johnstone scored the winning goal. |

Whilst applauding that Matt Macey is no. 2 in the league for clean sheets, it would be churlish not to mention that former U's 'keeper Owen Goodman is no. 1. |

Frankie Kent is injured. Ruptured his quad playing against Copenhagen in December, and is likely to be out for some time. |

Over 1,000 tickets already sold, and there's still two days to go, and presumably pay on the day for anyone who decides last minute to travel. That must be our largest away following this season, or am I forgetting anything? Much as I hate giving that scummy bunch any of my hard-earned, I'll be there. [Post edited 26 Feb 18:54]

Well he hung on longer than I expected, but Nigel Adkins has finally been let go by Tranmere following their home defeat against Accy Stanley last night. They are now just two points clear of the drop, and with the worst GD in the league. |

Despite my euphoria I think it was an OG, but it wouldn't have happened without Tyreece being there to force the issue. Maybe he will come good, I certainly hope so. Nevertheless, an excellent point against a Notts County side who for some bizarre reason continued to try and play it out from the back and continually put themselves under pressure. |

Excellent research RS! Much as I often sip at Durham's kool-aid fountain, I think I agree that as things stand it probably is a season too soon for the Cowley's U's. However, six points from the next two and it's definitely still on, even four points keeps the dream alive. Three (or less) and I think we just have to consolidate, finish as strong as we can and prepare for next season.
Sadly, I also agree about Tyreece. I think he has potential, but not good enough for the team as they are currently performing. I wouldn't send him back, maybe a few months on the training pitch and a few cameo appearances from the bench can bring him up to the standard we need in the final run-in? |

Since our draw at Barrow back in early November we've played 17 league games, with seven victories, eight draws and just two defeats. That's an average points per game of just under 1.71 points. If we maintain this form over the remaining 16 games, we'll finish on about 68-69 points, and almost certainly not quite enough for the play-offs.
This time last season (i.e. Match #30 or thereabouts) the fourth team in the play-offs (Harrogate Town) were on 47 points. This season, it's Crewe Alexandra on 49 points, so two points better. At the end of last season, Crawley took the last play-off place on 70 points, so reasonable to assume this season the target is probably going to be 72-73 points.
So, we'd be 3-4 points short, unless of course we can turn at least two more draws into victories - certainly not impossible (but for a goalkeeping worldy yesterday we could have won that one for sure). We do, however, have some tricky games to come, but it's definitely doable. For context, the last sixteen games of last season included games against six of the top seven sides, albeit we only averaged a point per game in the run in.
Incidentally, we're only four points short of equally our entire points total for 2023/24. |

I don't know what VPN provider you use, but perhaps try a double VPN next time (some of them call it "obfusticate servers" or something like that). |

Not sure where they're getting their data from - in all competitions (including the AutoWindscreen) we've played Carlisle 57 times, won 23, drawn 15 and lost 19. I think they might be counting since we returned to the football league, but even then the record should read won 13, drawn 11 and lost 11. We are long overdue a win though, haven't done so since that 3-0 just before lockdown in 2021 that sneaked us into the play-offs. |

Great stuff Durham. For obvious geographical reasons I’ve only been to Brunton Park once, but it was for that epic last game survival in 2013 - what a day that was! Sobering to think that of the two sides relegated, Scunthorpe have dropped beyond even the National league and Bury ceased to exist for a while. |

Hadn’t realised he was involved in that incident. I read that all three apologised, and were sacked by Leicester City. Doesn’t condone anything, but it would appear he has at least learned from and put that sort of behaviour behind him. |
