Ok before we get into the meat of the argument where is Bradley Ihionvien. I have been asking the question for days without response. Is he injured, dropped, transferring to a Championship team or what. Enlightenment please.
So, another week another two injuries. Has the squad been cursed, are they running over black cats, walking under ladders, is it the training regime or lack of. What is going on.
Samson Tovide out for 12 weeks
Manny Egbo out for 8 weeks
Kells out for 8 weeks
Lawrence likely out for the season
Mingi out for 5 weeks
Bandeira fit or not fit?
It is a sorry state of affairs.
Over the past three seasons we have signed 69 players of which 25 have been loanees. We have used 29 players this season so far. We have finished in the bottom 10 of League Two for the past three seasons. It is lamentable.
I said before Christmas that ME had until New Year’s Day to sort it or he should go. The equation is easy. Two more defeats (Wimbledon and Gillingham) and he has to go. Two victories and he clings on. Fine margins. Hopper marginally offside at MK Dons or we would have had a point.
We have conceded late goals in 13 games this season. All costly. We have dropped 19 points from winning positions. Grim times.
Before I become too melancholy, let us get to the positives:
Arthur Read simply outstanding.
Chay Cooper excellent
Zach Mitchell a very fine young footballer
Owen Goodman impressive keeper
Matt Jay has to start tonight
Jaydon Fevrier scares defenders and has a finish in him
Ellis Iandolo has revitalised the left back position
It is about time that Ryan Lowe was given a first team place. Superb young midfield player
Joe Taylor, best striker we have had at the club since Jamie Cureton.
Hopefully that balances out some of the negativity!
So, our last game of this miserable footballing year is at the Cherry Red Records Stadium where we face Wimbledon managed by Johnnie Jackson. Hitherto they have been on fire but after losing to Sutton this must inspire the U’s this evening.
In the January transfer window, we need a Right Back, a Centre Half, a midfielder and a striker.
ME must give Taylor some support up front that is a priority. Big John Akinde perhaps (if Bradley cannot be located).
Ok injuries have not helped us at all but our squad has been very large again this season.
So, who plays tonight:
Goodman
Dallison Mitchell Hall Iandolo
Fevrier Read McGeehan Jay
Cooper
Taylor
Subs:
Akinde Hornby Kazeem Chilvers Greenidge Bandeira (if fit) Lowe (please)
Weather tonight against the Wombles is 8 degrees Celsius, partly cloudy and windy.
Exiles don’t forget the match is on iFollow.
Safe travelling to the faithful.
Prediction 2-0 to the Super U’s
About time we kept a clean sheet and converted some chances.
A Happy New Year to all boarders.
Enjoy the game.
Up the U’s

These individual errors must be eliminated.
Normally they are passes backwards which gift possession.
Goodman made a decent save. | |

Not the start you needed for 2024.
Let's hope the U's can cheer you both up this evening.
2-1 up now!!! but will still be long evening. But that's what being U's supporter gets you |  | | |

Zach Mitchell played some cultured midfield play then.
Such an impressive young footballer.
He could play anywhere on the pitch.
Come on a third is there for the taking. | |

Goodman has been awesome! Hall looks vulnerable.
Expending huge energy. Timely substitutions likely to be crucial.
Chilvers takes yellow for the team. Sensible! | | | |

No immediate changes needed at HT.
However I would like to see Bradley given 30 minutes.
Probably change with Greenidge. | |

Grateful NYD is a Monday, so I can watch versus Gillingham on I-Follow, as I will still be in Covid (voluntary) quarantine. Enjoying tonight’s game, but this could go any way. Fitness, substitutions and timing are going to be crucial. Credit Etherington, has set us up to attack. Impressed with Greenidge and Fevrier plus Iandolo and Jay wide combinations. | | | |
