There's a Moose loose about these U's Take Twos. Cambridge United Away. 20/02/2024

[officer_dibble]

Add ogbeta to the having a stinker list. Evatts rotation policy done for us there.

[Mar]

Feels like we've got into the habit of being happy to grind out draws. Was sh*t or bust earlier in the season, here it just seems that we're just trying to grind out results while we've been missing players.


Poor delivery all round from that left hand side today. We've had so much more of the ball on the left and yet the best chance we've had came from JDC's venture forward.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

A performance wavering between Not Good Enough and simply Poor.

[The_Gun]

Not good enough from Ogbeta, and not good enough from Bolton in general.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Still angry we're even playing this game tonight. Hubristic decision.

[Mar]

Think we've been as good as Cambridge. Dodgy deflecting doing us in.

Gotta be better if we're going to get promoted.

[BorsdaneWhite]

Wing-backs should be eating this flat back four alive. The delivery, however, has been awful.

[officer_dibble]

Yep. shite. This is the run that we will point to when we don’t go up. Another year playing teams like this we can’t beat. They are not any better than us but we’ve not been good enough.

[Spartan2]

fecking hell, Ogbeta and Maghoma are crap.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Maybe Jardel!

oh you mean physically? Don’t think he’s been that suspect, just got a knock tonight.

Cramp twice and now a hammy? I suspect he didn’t have a rigorous medical!

No medical's picking up cramp.

That last day of the window, we really needed a centre-back. He's a good one, just short on match legs. Far from the biggest problem at the moment... but he's been brought back in because Iredale's ear's hanging off and the skipper's still not back.

Of course, if we'd have played this match in April, like we should have...

[officer_dibble]

Well we should have played it the other week! But yeah Evatt looks pig headed. As all managers do when they start making bad decisions. 45 minutes to save the game, points not good enough. What have we got?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Ogbeta's fitting right in in that he'll have a couple of touches that look good then he'll lose possession. There was one point in the first half where Kyle Dempsey, stood two yards from him, belted the ball out of play. CMG looks equally likely to find a man or fall on the ball. Bod has made three passes, one of which was kick-off.

Some haven't looked too bad. Geth's been his usual 7 out of 10. Trouble is that's about three above the team average.

Aye, but that original date was out of our hands. The rescheduling we had to agree to. It's change the changeables. No point him pissing on about 1%s then making a huge gaff like choosing to play a game during an injury crisis.

[The_Gun]

I'm going to stick my neck out and say we'll win this one.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

God I hope you're right mate - I'd much rather be happy than right about how pants we've been thus far

Just went back to check HT stats on WhoScored and they've taken away JDB's centre!! He made two passes that half. Cripes. Imagine that was Vic...

Pull the fecking trigger!!!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Good start Ogbeta and CMG. COYWM

[The_Gun]

Great start.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Oh *our* deflection doesn’t go in

[HMX]

Much much better
