You are being incredibly generous. From where I was sat in the East Stand, he looked very ordinary. One or two decent passes but was nowhere to be seen when the ball was in the box. Never looked like scoring. Lisbie continues to pose a huge threat. I would give Mbick a start. Araujo looks excellent. Powell only started to pass the ball forward in the second half. Iandolo is badly missed. |

Yes. They chased everything, and Williams thoroughly deserved his first goal. In midfield, a good performance from Harvey, and a very solid debut from Araujo. The best we've seen so far this season.

And perhaps use what we've already got more effectively. Start with Lisbie, not Tovide, whose antics get more embarrassing by the week. We are conceding a lot of goals down our left flank - I'm worried that Powell isn't up to the mark defensively. I think we'll see Araujo starting soon if he's fit. |

Frustrating. Why do we keep sitting back after going ahead? We looked excellent during the first 10-15 minutes, then started to lose the ball in midfield and getting deeper and deeper... |

Araujo looks an interesting signing, as we need more cover at the back. The article mentions an injury last season, so hope we haven't signed another player who's crocked. |

I don't think he's helped by DC describing him after an earlier game as "incredible" when objectively his performance was ordinary and forgettable. I think the regular injuries have also hampered his progress, as they do with many promising players. |

I had that thought today, but his injury and age is a problem, although that hasn't stopped us signing other older, injured players! Our defence is a problem at the moment, and we can't finish. Is it me, or does Edwards look short of pace compared to last season? The bright spot is the midfield, which looks good, especially Read, who has found some excellent form. [Post edited 23 Aug 19:14]

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? |
