Cambridge have only won one game in the last eleven by Tuesday night at 9-45 pm that will be two wins in twelve,just can not see were a win will come from for us, in fact we're goals are coming from!

Whilst I also can't see where the next win is coming from, I have a strange feeling we may get something from this one (regardless of who is in charge).

the players are deflated now, so imagine what they will be like when a gap to 22nd opens up, we need the win, simple as that, someone said last week draws are no good we need wins and i disagreed, were now getting towards that time, it would be a decent point at cambridge, but only if we take a minimum 4 points from burton and wimbledon

Cant call this one, but can say we improved defensively last game. So hoping we can sneak a win. I'd say 6 points from the next 3 games is vital.

We were dire on Saturday. I saw more fight at the end of last season and that is my worry. Not enough desire out there apart from Jenno who despite the@#$%&around him had a very good game.
Power needs dropping. He was very poor on Sat. No one put a foot in. If we do not pressure the ball we will be in for a hiding guaranteed. Adams is delusional if he thinks we were anything but utter@#$%&on Sat. Going forward we looked amateur and could not even string 2 passes together.
Prediction 3-0 to the U's - why am I going?

Tranmere manager takes punt on selections for Cambridge game, but ends up in deep water looking out of his depth.
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the Cam,
Get 3 points and celebrate, then scarper while you can.
Perhaps some Cambridge fans are uni students who might shout cerebral taunts at Tranmere.
You are going home in a blooming medical emergency combustion vehicle.
Meanwhile Cambridge sail off home up the river with 3 points in their team yacht.
All joking aside though, every game gets more important and the team need to pull their fingers out, grow same balls and stop arsing and @#$%& about.
Hopefully Gardner and Donnelly start and get played in their proper positions, but to be honest nick a 1-0 and high tail it away, because right now I'd relish an unlikely 3-0 win, but just get the job done, don't screw it up picking up stupid cards and just go there and play like every game will determine their very futures at the club, because bar one or two players like Fon Williams and Holmes, I don't think there's many of contracted players who are showing right now they would deserve to be picked in August 2015.
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

Cambridge are in a bit of a slump too and are decimated by injuries. Our centre midfield is our Achilles heal and needs dealing with by whoever is in charge.... before it is too late

Hartlepool are rock bottom, but are playing better than us ATM.
In this division, league position doesn't seem to count.
We just need to start show in some guile and up our game. Something we haven't seemed to manage for quite a while.
I think well be beaten again because M.A will persist with the same old midfield pairing and play others out of position, same sh*t, different day!
His after match comments will be the same old same old too.
If we do lose, M.P needs to do some serious thinking.

Unbelieveable! Power starting yet again! Adams just does not get it! Midfield has been our problem all season. We saw when koumas played the difference a player makes, who can hold onto the ball and not send dead end balls into the corners like Power and subsequently give possession away. We need guile in midfield instead we have two work horses and one player who spends most of his time pointing where he thinks other people should be. When we signed ian Hume I fully expected him play as an attacking midfielder but I don't think Adams has any idea whatvto do with him. Same old result tonight, they will snatch a win. Adams out.

Let's not go over the top. Cambridge were poor. Very poor. But we did well to hang on with ten men and the performance as a whole was miles better than anything since Christmas I'd say at the very least.
The passion and belief looked there, the urgency going forward was much improved and the defence apart from the space that opened up for the excellent long range equaliser looked more gelled too even when they had to change it after Thompson's blow to the head early on.
The whistle had barely finished being blown when Max sprinted three quarters of the length of the pitch on his own towards the SWA, fist pumping as he went!
Finally a word to the 164 of us who were there! The loudest and most supportive away crowd of the season by far!

I'm yet to wake up to a win as we got caught in the fatal lorry crash on the M6 late last night and I arrived back home from the game at 7am before leaving for work at 8.10am with no sleep in between.
I've had no sleep for nearly 36 hours!

Cracking result and with some people berating Power recently and he scores 2 in 3 and JMW sets up 2 in 3, so that should keep people off their backs for a while.
Hopefully this sparks a turnaround in form.
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.
