So we go into the new year bottom of the league, 9 straight defeats, 1 win 1 draw and 12 defeats in last 14 league games, last league win 20th Sept. And no more Callum Harriott along with his 7 goals and priceless assists! ........That's the bad news out the way, now for the positives.....a new manager and a budget that may stretch to one or two new players. Sorry but I really can't find many positives. I sincerely hope we go out and find TWO experienced defenders and another pacey winger. Or it's league two for the U's I fear? |  |

We've dodged the bullet three years in a row. If Keen can ensure we dodge it again he should be given the freedom of the borough.
Rebuilding confidence throughout the team and refurbishing a back four currently appearing in panto as an open barn door are bare essentials. He also needs to find a formation that makes the most of the attacking potential we have.
I'm not as pessimistic as I was when Humes was in charge but I'm far from confident we will stay up. |  |

We've been dodging the bullet for pretty much most seasons since we returned from the conference to be honest - safe by Easter was usually an aspiration, rarely the reality. There's enough about us to do so again, but don't forget we're also still in the FA Cup, and with a winnable 3rd round home fixture against Charlton to come - good job Callum is cup-tied though... |  |

If KK cannot find the right players to bolster the back line it will be inevitable . Perhaps a drop down is required to get academy players more composed in their roles, rather than play with the pressure of relegation bestowed upon them .
When was the last season we were not the bookies favourites to go down and still time to prove them wrong again . |  |

I was a regular subscriber to When Saturday Comes for several decades, really only until relatively recently when I finally accepted that the excellent fanzine-style articles were gone for good, but one of the issues I always looked out for was the pre-season one that included the season preview from a writer from each club (Maison Urwin was usually ours, and he did a fine job in my opinion).
Every season, without fail, we were tipped to be relegated, and lazy journalists/ bookies who couldn't be arsed to do their homework usually followed suit. Importantly, in all that time they've only be right once - our second season in the Championship, which really was a no-brainer. I remain confident that with a new man in charge, and good use of January's transfer window, we'll still be okay. | |

The same publication Wessex did a article of appropriate sponsors applicable to clubs . The U's recommended sponsor was viagra - footnote being it needs something to keep it up ! | |
