Former U's 13:45 - Feb 26 with 24734 views | RSCOSWORTH | We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them. Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0. https://youtube.com/shorts/xl29_SKGGEA?si=rUZN5ZOwqYouYha_ Jay also got the equaliser away at Weston-super-Mare last night. Hopefully he's starting to enjoy his football again. [Post edited 26 Feb 13:55]

Former U's on 07:10 - Aug 5 by wessex_exile | Following a disastrous debut for Plymouth Argyle at home to Barnsley, in which Brendan Wiredu scored an own goal, was partly at fault for Barnsley’s second, got booked for a scuffle and was subbed at half time, he has had to shut down his social media accounts following a torrent of abuse from the local six-fingered freaks. So much so, the club has had to issue a statement telling the yokels to pack it in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c78zev3qzp7o [Post edited 5 Aug 7:10]

I see Brendan Wiredu scored for Plymouth Argyle as they came from 2-0 down to beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 in the Carabao Cup first round! I wonder if he gave the Plymouth fans the old 'Duguid salute' that they deserved after he scored! [Post edited 14 Aug 20:38]

5 Goals per season, I expect that return from a centre half . A striker needs to be around the 20 goals per season. Col U do have a knack of finding non scoring strikers! |  | |  |

Former U's on 16:57 - Aug 27 with 604 views | RSCOSWORTH | After forcing a move to Gateshead last season Frank Nouble would come back to haunt one of his many former clubs as Gateshead fought back from 3-0 down at half time to win 4-3 at Yeovil with a 99th minute winner. Nouble scored Gateshead's second goal and provided an assist for the winner. |  |

And scored on his debut last night. Not sure what's gone on at Peterborough. Ferguson has been very vocal that Ihionvien wasn't working out and wanted him gone and then started him up front by himself in the first four league games, and brought him on in the fifth. He's now been shipped out to Shrewsbury with Ferguson implying his Peterborough career is over once again. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Ferguson's time at Peterborough ends before Brad's! |  |
