Grim news indeed. That said, we do have cover in midfield, even if they aren't exactly the same type of player. |

Just watched the post match interview with DC. He referred to Samson as "incredible". He must have been watching a different game to the one I saw from the East Stand! It was like watching a wrestling match whenever Tovide was involved. I know defenders do that to him, and there was a lot of shirt pulling and grappling, but he struggled to find a way through that, other than doing the same himself. By contrast, Lisbie looked fast, dynamic and skilful, and he clearly rattled their defenders, who were content to just put the ball in touch. And yet no mention of him by DC. |

Always good to have some positives! There was also the beginnings of an understanding between Powell and Edwards. Edwards has been struggling without the supply from Iandolo, but he did better last night in combination with Powell. Certainly better than the supply from KVY or Hunt. |

We gave away numerous corners and free kicks in dangerous areas. They threatened to score with headers from set pieces, so the second goal came as no surprise. What was surprising and disappointing was the free kicks that came from mistakes from senior players, especially the one from Payne. Not clearing the ball is such a basic error. He will of course know that. We struggled defensively throughout the first half. KVY looked especially poor, and I thought Powell was unlucky not to start. He made a difference as soon as he came on. Lisbie looks infinitely more dangerous than Tovide. Cambridge got away with a lot of shirt pulling throughout the game, but we can't blame the referee. Hopefully we can bounce back on Saturday. |

It was missed by the live coverage. An amazing (but deserved) slice of luck. |

Yes they were very poor, but I thought our shape was better today so we looked solid defensively. Payne is always excellent and Read had a terrific game. Powell looks like he might be a real find, even if for only a season. And good to see Thorn being used as a finisher where his pace is a nightmare for the opposition. And two clinical finishes. A very satisfactory performance.

I forgot to mention that, on the live stream, our supporters could be heard above Oxford's throughout the match. Great stuff.

Good summary of the match. I think we probably deserved to take it to a shoot out, but as you say we got stuck in the final action in and around the box. I know some disagree, but I think Tovide lacks maturity and discipline. I was hoping for a lot more when he came on, but he looked the least effective of the substitutes. |

Tovide clearly hasn't matured over the summer. Did nothing but create bad feeling on the pitch. |

Only £20! You can't be that confident! Do they have any history of walking away? |

Not convinced about the way Thorn is being used. But another draw? That's a habit from the first part of last season, and needs to be broken fast. It was backs to the wall stuff. We just about survived, but we look very shaky at the back at times. We are missing Iandolo big time. Edwards looks lost at times without the supply from him. |

Hope he starts on Saturday. It's obvious he's got talent, but due to his injuries he's yet to prove that he can be a consistent goal scorer over a whole season. He needs to be disciplined and avoid the histrionics that clearly irritate a lot of referees. |

5th in the National League, over 20 points behind the top two, not especially impressive in the play off final. Surely this is a team we should be looking to comprehensively turn over? |

It hints at a division between DC/NC and the owner. I don't think he should have done that. Everything else he said is spot on, so why spoil it with some carping about the owner? |

As DC has said repeatedly, the Club has to be "lean and mean" so it looks like Taylor is a victim of that. And obviously his age and long term injury don't help. |
