George, Connor still out with concussion

Conor tweeted today that he was back in training soon. "fresh start, fresh mentality" whatever that means.

Defending from the front quite well early one. No one shying away from their defensive duties

 

[Nick]

How long does a bump to your head keep you out for?

 

[CovisGod]

Any commentary folks or is that wishing

Probably himself and the previous manager.

Whatever he means I don't think I like it

Did he have any Sisters?

I know who you mean… Irish sisters…. The Nolans?

Do you know what, I think he did...

Sounds like we're playing alright. Passing it round nicely.

Nicely done.
We scored yet?

 

[sw88]

Goal disallowed for offside from a corner for us

 

[skybluetony176]

Are CWR covering the game on the radio does anyone know?

 

[stevefloyd]

Who scored it? or rather who didnt score it?

 

[Nick]

Tudgay got the last touch

 

[zuni]

tugday I think

 

[sw88]

Two awful kick outs by Burge and the second one almost proved costly. Shot at goal by them ad he probably should have caught it but opted to parry it out for a corner instead.

 

[sw88]

Does it matter if it was disallowed?

Oh, and I couldn't see

 

[Nick]

Standard.

 

[sw88]

Goal disallowed for them after Ricketts oddly left a pass knowing there was a man behind him and the flag was very late. Got lucky

 

[lifeskyblue]

Are Maddison and lameries linking well? Does the defence look sound?

Pretty much an unlimited amount of time. Not much treatment and you have to wait until you've had no symptoms for a couple of weeks. Sidney Crosby, who plays ice hockey in the NHL, was out from Jan - Nov 2011, came back and played 8 games when his symptoms came back and was out again until March 2012. Not really something to mess around with, not worth the risk.

Are we playing 4231 again?

If his kicking isn't improving why doesn't he just roll it out or play it short and let one of the defence with better distribution kick it upfield?

If a professional footballer can't kick a ball straight then something is wrong.

Charles Cook had a decent kick on him when I saw him.

Because if goalkeepers had brains they'd be dangerous?

 

[cloughie]

piss poor that CWR don't broadcast commentary as Geff Foster is there and reporting after match interviews tomorrow morning.

Sounds that way, Tuday at striker. Swanson, Lameiras and Maddison playing behind him in the attacking roles. Vincelot and Fleck in centre midfield

 

[kg82]

1-0 to Cambridge. Legge

 

[sw88]

1-0 down

Corner came in conceded by Martin, think it was Martin who for a second time let their man go unmarked to convert with a header

Because he's a goalkeeper he should be able to distribute the ball in every way possible.

Would you employ a striker if he couldn't shot or a defender if he couldn't tackle?

Come on Burge sort it out or you'll be in the reserves before you know it.

Link up play is good. Just no end product

Their number 9, Jordan Slew looks useful

 

[sw88]

Maddison on his butt again

 

[mark82]

I know it's pre season but our form is dreadful, and against lower league teams.

Every game guaranteed he kicks it straight out of play or tries to take a striker on.

Mowbray out!

Just pointing out that you've named what is stereotypically their main jobs. Which you didn't actually do with Burge! Which is surely to keep the ball out the net!
