MATCHWATCH : Cambridge United (a)

[Hound]

If Binden's fit it's madness not to play him.

Madness is going a bit far

[Royal_jimmy]

We need to break the away hoodoo sooner or later. Won't be upset with a draw, anything less will not go down well. A win would be great. Bolton up next in the league after this is tough so we could do with a result.

[NathStPaul]

What a post.

[Stranded]

Get the feel of the need for a win but it’s still quite a big ask for a team which is still very much in early stages of development. It’s going to take a few months to settle down I think

As said above we have loads of options but for me I can’t see what the genuine first 11/18 is yet

Assuming Wing, Ejaria, Mukairo, Smith will be out until after the break. A lot of experience there

Anything could happen really, expecting us to be very inconsistent for a while

Agree it will take a few months for us to be consistent and am anticipating a strong 2024 from this squad - however, the strength of that will be dependant on us picking up enough points to feel comfortable or even been on the fringes of a play off chase (not expecting that mind). If we go through the next few months with the away form troubles continuing, that will start to put more pressure on home games and knock confidence, even in young players.

So yes, a win tonight is a tough ask, as any away win is but we absolutely have to win 1 of the next 3 (Cambridge, Blackpool, Northampton) else it will only get tougher.

Binden - 2 league and 1 cup appearance - 0 goals conceded.

Dean - 1 league appearance - 2 goals conceded.

It's a bit of a no brainer for me.

I'd quite like a back 3 of Bindon, Dean and Abbey tbh. Pace and experience.

Although Dean's experience is with a woeful Birmingham.


I'd rather McIntyre or Mbengue if we're going to shake it up that much. Not sure how the rest of the team would fit together either.

I don’t disagree with bringing back Binden for Dean but wouldn’t be upset if Dean stayed in either.

Tbf didn’t watch Exeter so no idea how Dean performed in it

Watched the game with Donfers who thought he was quite good on the whole, I think.

Mostly ok. But looked commically lost a couple of times, including the build up to their winner, and slow.

Just saw the team coach near ground

Just saw the team coach near ground

Why wasn't Selles travelling with the team?

[The Green Programme]

Kelvin and Ballard up front?

Abbey and Bindon centre backs?

Exciting - attacking line up, I hope

The coach was empty.

Team travelled up early this morning and stayed in a hotel this afternoon. Driver probably was bored and took the kit to Abbey stadium

[Royal_jimmy]

How many years have you been looking forward to this game Ian? Let's hope you enjoy it!

[tidus_mi2]

Is the warm weather going to be a hindrance to our high energy, high press style?

Hope not. Like Spanish players they should get a boner in this weather

[Royals and Racers]

Strange team- WIFI on the bench

[Sutekh]

Elliott starts, Mola on bench

[Mid Sussex Royal]

I thought Bindon only had concussion?

As usual none of injuries back yet. If Wifi is carrying a slight knock I'd have considered Ballard on the bench.

And why aren't we playing in hoops?

[Snowflake Royal]

Not expecting many goals for us then. And probably at least 1 for them. Boo.

Lot on Vickers shoulders, expect Azeez is upfront too.
