Clyde1998 I'm a bit concerned about this one given a sizable number of first team players made much bigger appearances on Saturday than we would've liked - particularly the two who came off the bench at half-time.

120 - Garcia
76 - Akande
75 - Craig; Savage
60 - Campbell; Wing
47 - Dorsett
45 - Camara; Elliott

I would expect the team to be (if everyone's fit):

Pereira
Craig - Bindon - Mbengue - Dorsett
Elliott - Wing - Savage
Campbell - Smith - Knibbs

Basically, as we started against Barnsley with Mbengue back in for Holzman. I'd imagine Holzman would start if Mbengue doesn't make it; probably Camara if Knibbs doesn't.

Welcome back Morro, good luck in the rest of the season.

Lavery is a hefty chap isn't he.

All Cambridge at the moment. Not sure we’ve even been in their half. We need to get a bit of tempo going

Midfield just not getting hold of the ball. Elliott and savage too far apart

Ref is very pedantic on where throws and freekicks are taken

Yeah, passing has been loose from Savage and Craig as well.

Tempo a little low, forward movement maybe a bit lacking.

Clumsy from Camara but I didn’t think that was a yellow. Harsh.

Pitch looks a bit ropey

Nowhere near the ball.
Studs straight onto planted leg.

Mitigating in his favour was he was still in control of his body.

Fernandes red against West Ham was for a less bad foul.

Dorsett should be on concussion watch after the pace of that cross from Campbell!

Elliott fires straight at the keeper a daisy cutter from just outside the box. Then wing thread a sublime ball inside the full back and to smith who takes an extra touch which forces him wide which makes a shot from a tight angle on target

Campbell comes short from a corner nice turn fires a ball across the box and dorsett heads off the post and out.

Stepping up the pressure now

Good shot from Campbell, keeper could just see it all the way, still at stretch though. If you were a Cambridge fan, you'd be starting to think 'it's coming'

Questioned the signing of Campbell and didn’t really see the point of him in the first few games. But he’s getting better and better and better, best player on the pitch this first 20 mins. We should do whatever we can to keep hold of him in Jan. if the efl allow, and or we have the budget to

Cambridge are giving us way too much space.
