Cambridge (H) Match Thread

Quoted from Mayaman

I'd expect a dead ball delivery to reach the danger area at least. they have hours a day to practice it.   it's about creating muscle memory.

Bennett can't kick a ball that far

And there you go, that's Pollock's Achilles heel, great in the box, can read the game but has no pace!...teams have sussed that out and as soon as he's up against a player with only half a yard of pace he's done every time they've sussed our left side is p!ss weak too...
Hurst has got a massive job on his hands, if I were to be brutal, I'd say there's 3-5 players on that pitch I'd play next weekend.
Hendrie, Waterfall, Tilley, Rose and Preston...that's it for me

Hanson is a waste of a wage. Might be harsh but he’s a crock. No use to us at all and in truth you wouldn’t even feature him in any plans.

Green huffs and puffs but we’ve signed him 4 years too late. Bennet and Rose are awful. I’m sure someone will point our various reasons why they’re not but from what we’ve seen they just lack whatever it is we need.

Morais naturally has ability and is trying but to no avail, not necessarily his fault though.

The goals conceded were awful and have been pretty much all season.

We can all support the team and know that Hurst was never working a miracle today but ignoring the fact we’re excrement or simply being positive for positive sake is futile.

I'm glad I'm not Hurst. So Cambridge are 2 nil up after 2 counter attacks after our "attackers" copulated up, probably best way to describe how the game has gone.

They're letting us play the ball around. Just sitting back and relaxing, because they can. Toothless up front as always, hardly a shock with Green and Bennett leading the attack.

Nothing else to talk about really is there. A none event for Town once again.

Quoted from forza ivano

Apparently theres a thing  called a 'new manager bounce'  
Obviously one of those Trumpian truths

Imagine how bad it would be if the boys weren't fired up to impress the new manager!!

Quoted from promotion plaice

I'm at the stage where if we stay up it would be a bonus.

Holloway and Fenty are to blame if/when we are relegated.

Not true, Fenty said so...it’ll be Hurst and the new owners’ fault...

I’ll be disappointed if we haven’t got at least 4 new players in by next weekend.

I will shudder when I think about this current team in years to come.

Quoted from Mariner93er

I think Waterfall has been poor this season. We like to focus on our failures up the pitch, but defensively we've been woeful at times. Even Pollock (who seems to often escape criticism) hasn't had a good season and I'd be surprised if anyone stumps up money for him. The writing really does feel like it's on the wall here.

Might as well chuck the towel in now eh? We are in trouble yes, but we aren't 10 points adrift. The new consortium and Hurst will know that money needs to be invested ASAP in the playing squad. Big overreaction by many on here. I see a lack of quality not effort.

Quoted from AndyGTFC

Been alright between boxes but again don't look like scoring and can't stop conceding.

Reinforcements needed ASAP.

Before that we probably need to shed some of the dead weight. Even between boxes it's the same tippy-tap nonsense that ends up back at our own keeper or as a misplaced pass to the opposition. Nobody wants the ball and nobody takes control and tries to create anything. As much as Edwards would 9/10 times lose the ball at least he was somebody who would run with the ball and try to beat players. Nobody in the side today seems to want to do that. Corners crap as usual, free kicks crap as usual. Hurst needs to get everyone in to learn how to kick a ball for starters then build from there as we fail at basics.

Granted the first goal came from a deflection (created by a crap free kick technically) and the second was a good pass and goal with Pollock beaten for pace we couldn't do much about those. We should be doing more about scoring goals though and we aren't.

Slightly strange game, Cambridge have had 3 shots and scored 2 (should have been 3)

We’ve retained possession fairly well but we never look like we’re going to score. Until we can get a decent striker in we really need to work on our set pieces as its the only way we’re going to score and our delivery has been atrocious.

Second half we get to see who wants to be here, I’m hoping to see the players get out there and show some determination and fight to get back into this game.
