Reply | Imperious Super U's to achieve 11th unbeaten game on Sunday at the JCS

He stupidly moved the "paint" in front of the ball which was about a yard further forward of where the ref had originally painted the mark. Blatant cheating and rightfully given a second yellow card for unsporting behaviour. His actions were even more idiotic given he'd been booked eleven minutes earlier and he was literally yards from both the referee and linesman. And to gain what? A yard on a 30-40 yard free kick. Ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as McCann trying to justify the player's actions and blame the referee. If footballers acted with a bit more honesty and integrity a referee's job would certainly be made a lot easier. |

Taken from Matt Hudson on Twitter.
"Col U crowds for the first half of our league matches (12/23) averaging 4,486 this season, up 893 or 25% on the first 12 in 23/24.
22 league games under DC - average 4,629."
And it's not like we've suddenly had an influx of local games either or a Wrexham type attendance to boost the numbers.
Great to see the attendance numbers moving in the right direction and I think there are a number of factors contributing to this.

I managed to come up with a first name and surname from the letters but it wasn't a player I'd ever heard of. Good old Wikipedia told me I was right though and also led me to what he was first to do. |

So pleased that we took advantage of the fact our game was postponed on Saturday by playing a very strong team. A good, professional performance resulted in a comfortable home win and another clean sheet. Great for Lyle to get minutes and goals and Bishop to get a start. Whisper it quietly but we're starting to look like a team... |

We were talking at half time on Tuesday and wondering when we were last four goals ahead at half time, anyone know?
Also with Tovide on a hat-trick, which he ultimately didn't get, who was the last player to score a hat-trick in the league for the U's? My guess was our old favourite Jevani Brown.
Tuesday was our third clean sheet in a row in the league. The last time we achieved that was under Ben Garner at the end of the 2022/23 season. Oddly it involved the same three results (0-1, 0-0 and 4-0) but in a different order (4-0, 0-1 and 0-0). I'm struggling to find a time when we managed four clean sheets in a row but surely it must've happened at some point. It's also six clean sheets for the season now, one better than last season already. |

The best I've ever seen Tovide play. Payne, Edwards and McDonnell were the other stand out players for me. Also was probably Flanagan's best performance of the season as well. Great for Taylor and Bishop to get some minutes too and hopefully the whole team came through unscathed. I did think if you could pick how a team would setup against us at home you'd pick the back five that Swindon seemed to go with. It just seemed to invite Edwards and Gordon to play higher up the pitch and gave Payne plenty of space to play in. I see so much of Matt Jay in Payne that it's odd that he's figured in nearly every match this season and Jay has barely kicked a ball under four different managers. |

Looks like all three could be missing plus Edwards possibly. Hopefully some of them are fit enough to figure otherwise we'll be a bit light on Tuesday. |

Man City fans booed their team off last night.
They've won about 20 trophies in the last 10 years.
Some fans have very short memories. They must've all forgotten when they were in the third tier back in 1998/99 although most of them probably didn't support CIty then. |

Oldham, Southend the list goes on. There are other clubs, bigger than us, that have spent time outside the league in recent seasons. Oxford, Luton, Chesterfield, Stockport and Wrexham, Tranmere, Leyton Orient are some of them. |

After the last couple of matches I've paid extra attention to the views of the opposing fans. The consensus, both times, was that we were the better team and should've won comfortably. Interestingly both sets of fans seemed unhappy with their manager and recent performances by the team, This didn't really surprise me with Bradford as they are easily the biggest club in this division and should be right up there really. Grimsby fans being unhappy with Artell, some even saying he should be sacked, I found very surprising. As a club who has recently spent time out of the football league and had a bit of a relegation battle last season you would think they'd be pretty happy with where they find themselves right now. Is this just the general attitude of football fans these days? In that they have unrealistic expectations? Or has it always been like this and they just have more of a platform to voice it now? |
