    Are we playing into a headwind? Feels so much easier for them to come forward.

    Or are we just very poor? Our passing isctturly awfull.

    Looking at the flag behind the big screen it looks like the wind is blowing towards the Cupboard End i.e. favouring Cambridge this half.
    Are we that desperate for an excuse  :)

    I'm just giving a weather report 😉

    We're in this cos our spine's okay, but we've got nothing out wide today

    Rylah looks like a kid in a man's game so far. Is he really a better option than playing TC, or moving Chem to wing, Fraser as the 10 and Louie in midfield?

    First 30 appalling. I have not seen one decent midfield tackle from us. No intensity at all.

    No. Bless him he's made a couple of key defensive blocks but on Wednesday he didn't look ready and it's far worse today.

    But against this team we should be winning even against the wind

    Not the goal fest I predicted then ?

    No worries, only 3 weeks before the new signings start pouring in the door.

    Crowd going mad because May is offside and the free-kick is taken from Charlton's half. FYI - "The sanction for an offside offence is an indirect free kick for the opponent at the place where the offence occurred, even if it is in the player's own half of the field of play."
    That doesn’t make sense.




    A quick Google - would seem that if you come from an offside position to receive it in your own half then free kick from where you play the ball from. Learn something new every day!

    All part of the cunning plan, give them a sense of superiority early on, then kill them off second half...🤷‍♂️

     No idea why their keeper is slowing down the game every time he gets the ball. They look like the only team in it at the moment

    Yep, didn’t know that either. Next I’d be told that foul throws have been outlawed.

    That is a f***ing stupid law: you can't be offside if you're in your own half so why should it matter if you come back to an onside position i.e. your own half to receive the ball?

    Madness.

    I'd rather they just scrapped the offside law completely.

    So counter productive picking such a young player as Rylah in a side like this that is low on confidence and is disjointed by injuries. He was only ever going to get dragged down to the general low level of the rest of the team and the long term damage a game like this can do to a youngster’s confidence and development can be disastrous.

    I know we’re short on options. I know someone like Tyreece is badly out of form, but if you want to change something why not a complete formation shift to a 532 or 442 so Kanu could partner May. This starting XI never looked right and they’re playing an imbalanced bunch of strangers.
