...and of course McGeehan had already made it clear that his time at the U's was a stepping stone. He was excellent at the U's, but clearly destined for a higher league. No surprise, even if I'm disappointed.
You make an excellent point. In terms of place of birth, never mind where they've largely followed their career:
Alex Woodyard - Gravesend Lyle Taylor - Greenwich Jack Payne - Tower Hamlets Rob Hunt - Dagenham John-Kymani Gordon - Croydon Ben Goodliffe - Watford Harry Anderson - Chertsey Matt Macey - Bath (the only outlier)
Been largely ever-present (40+ appearances) in every team he's played for since 2013, under a multitude of different managers, yes including the Cowleys. Prior to spending a year of his two year contract at York, that includes five consecutive seasons at League 1 level (Peterborough, six months on loan at Tranmere and AFC Wimbledon), and at 31 he's hardly in the twilight of his career?
Exactly, we've had many spectacular and stylish players over the last four years, and look how that's worked out. Good time to give a bunch of gnarly hard-working experienced professionals a go I reckon.
Kelleher would be an excellent call as captain, and according to a chap on X with a pretty good record of being itk, it was Smith who failed the medical.
No, I'm pretty certain that iFollow will still be a thing next season, presumably just via Sky as the service provider. I had an e-mail earlier this month from EFL Digital confirming that subscriptions will still be available for matchday commentary, exclusive club videos etc., (and I assume live streams for midweek games not covered by Sky themselves, and all games for overseas U's).
They advised that everyone is going to have to resubscribe because the service provider is changing. That will also mean a new password too - apparently, try and log-in with your current username and password, then follow the instructions from there.
I think Chay had to make a choice between mostly bench-warming for the U's or a reasonable chance of starting at an upwardly mobile Braintree, who have done a lot of business in the transfer window already. Can blame him for his decision.
In other news, rumoured we might be in for Tom's younger brother George Lapslie. Played plenty of games for Gillingham last season, and it would be a good connection with a U's legend.
Good opener for the season, should be a decent turnout for that one. Having waited literally years for Chesterfield to be back in the same league as the U’s, me and my mate Craig aren’t happy that both fixtures are Tuesday nights.
Well I don't know what football gods Gareth Southgate sacrificed a goat to, but it clearly has worked. Comfortably the worst of the (alleged) top seeds in the group stage, scraped through with one win and two draws in three dreadful performances, and scoring just two goals in the process, and still we win the group!
WTF?
In doing so, we also avoid at least three of Spain, Portugal, Germany and France in the knockout stages. However, if this isn't sorted out fast, we can forget worrying about who of those four might make it to the final, we'll be home long before that's a concern.
Bibs - pah. In my school days it was shirts v skins, but then again our PE teachers back then were clearly psychopathic latent homosexuals, or so it seemed
Since you ask, for Danny Cowley, Marc Tierney, Bobby Hunt, Tony English, Alan Buck and KK Opara in order.
Nicky Cowley - believe he's currently Assistant Head Coach Paul Tierney - full back like his brother, didn't overlap and only with us for a month on loan. Billy Hunt - defender, only played one game for the U's (against Southend), five years before Bobby joined the U's. Tommy English - forward, joined the U's a few months after brother Tony, and spent four seasons appearing regular with his brother. David Buck - wing half, and not just brother but twin of goalkeeper Alan Buck. David only played once for the U's and not alongside Alan. Tragically died early at the relatively tender age of 50. Lloyd Opara - forward, like his brother, but didn't overlap with KK who had already been booted by Whitton after what is described as "an act of misconduct".
As far as England are concerned, absolutely. But, there have been some scintillating matches, and Belgium v Romania that's just finished has been one of them.
