Bluebirds to be overwhelmed at the JCS by rejuvenated U's
at 04:22 24 Aug 2025

Just for balance, and much as I would love him to still be here, as far as I can tell Lyle is still injured and yet to make his Chelmsford debut.

I have no words - dominated the game, but never took any of the chances available. It's clear where the problem is, let's hope we spend the Oscar money to sign that hidden gem up front who can fix it.

On to Barnet, with at least 700+ tickets sold already - travelling more in hope than expectation right now...

Sorry to say we lost to the better side, but only because of a lack of concentration at the end of the first half. Still gives us a marker for where we have to be if we want to challenge for promotion. On to the game against Bromley, need better things.

Kicking myself (a bit) after predicting Tovide to score first in the match thread, and on the OMB PL, but sticking with Payne in our own PL. Heyho, I'll cope

On the subject of building on it, we’ve now got three very winnable games on the trot coming up, home to t’other CUFC and Bromley, and the trip to currently struggling Barnet. If we genuinely want to challenge for promotion that has to be 9pts, but I’d take 7.

Btw, with less than a fortnight to go I’m surprised the Barnet tickets aren’t on sale yet, reckon it’ll be a popular trip for the Faithful.

Totally, and I think I might be developing a bit of bromance for Oscar Thorn, he really is becoming an absolute star down the right when he comes on. The only concern is the injury to Perry, hope it’s not serious.

You’re welcome. Solid performance but Shrewsbury were poor. Still, you can only beat who’s in front of you.

At a pub in Shrewsbury now. I’m not greedy, I’ll take 2-0 to the U’s, Tovide to get the first!

We couldn't hear the Oxford supporters even at the ground! It was my first visit to the Kassam, and I'd read elsewhere that missing the 4th stand made it difficult to generate any atmosphere, but I didn't find that at all, in fact the acoustics for the away section were pretty good.

Well he put himself about a bit and clearly unsettled Oxford when he came on, so not sure what else is expected of him. I didn’t see what sparked the incident at the end, but I’ve read he might have been late into a tackle, but the aggression came from the Oxford player’s reaction so maybe we should give him a break?

Despite the defeat we played well, particularly second half when Samson and Lisbie came on, followed by Edwards and the excellent Thorn. Very good runouts too for Powell and Harvey. We deserved a goal (or two) on the night, but no disgrace against a Championship side, and the support was impressive too.

Hahaha - normally I'd go for Cancer Research, but in the present climate it's Medical Aid for Palestinians. One I'm certain you won't mind supporting if I win. When you cough up, I'll match it, promise. If you do win, apart from lots of tears, I'll donate anyway.

Tough game. We looked good for 20-25 minutes, then backs to the wall for much of the remainder, but defended well. I was pleased with Perry's performance, and a point was overall deserved. Great to see Samson and Jack P get on the pitch.

Oxford next, but we're currently unbeaten in three including last season, with three draws. Got to start converted some of these into 3pts, but for now, Up the hard to beat U's!

I see from the club X-feed that at the request of the EFL we're playing in our all black third kit today. Presumably it was the blue shorts. No matter.
