Thread | Accrington Stanley, oo are dey? 'xactly!
by wessex_exile at 13:14 3 Jan 2026
As the round of matches over the festive period draws to a close, we have the visit of Accrington Stanley on that most rare of events in our football history, a Sunday afternoon kick-off. If you filter out play-off and cup games, in the league this accounts for just 25 games since we were formed, seven won, six drawn and 12 lost. As you would imagine, Sunday games are generally focussed around Christmas and the New Year, or more recently, Sky-mandated final games of the season. It’s been a pretty positive holiday schedule for the U’s too, eight points from four games, and with other results often going our way, we’re now just two places and three points outside the play-offs.
Before we consider Accrington Stanley, a word or two first about the MK Dons match. It wasn’t as free-flowing as I had hoped, I’d even go so far as to say sluggish at times. I didn’t know about the frozen irrigation pipes preventing the ground staff from watering the pitch. I could, however, see dust/sand kicking up off the pitch, particularly for spot kicks, but didn’t have the knowledge to put two and two together. Others on social media have also commented about the definite ‘bobble’ the pitch seemed to have – so who knows, maybe there really was something in what Danny said post-match?
Nevertheless, although the energy and drive seemed diminished, and despite losing Bishop early on to injury, we still had much more about us than MK Dons, who I thought were very poor in the first half, but without carving out many clear-cut chances of our own. MK Dons found a bit more rhythm second half, and for a spell I genuinely though they might nick it. However, the defence held out no problem (apart from Rob Hunt’s suicidal back pass, but Macey pulled off a good double-save to keep them out). The substitutions on the hour mark made the difference, although I thought Samson had quite a good game, with the pace of Lisbie and Mbick finally started to turn the tide. Deep in added-time I had almost given up hope we’d find the winner, until Lisbie was hauled to the ground and Payne blasted home the winner – oh my days, the celebrations!
Since returning to the football league in 2006, Accrington Stanley have proved themselves to be no pushovers, grinding out generally lower mid-table finishes season after season. It was Andy Holt’s takeover in 2015 that changed that, taking them from plucky League 2 battlers to League 1 promotion in 2018, and where they stayed for several more seasons until relegation back to League 2 in 2023. They’re not doing too bad this season either, again in their customary mid-table slot, but with three wins on the bounce they are now only three points behind the U’s and really shouldn’t be underestimated on Sunday.
But don’t just take my word for it, our record against the ‘Owd Reds says it all – in nine league matches since Accy's return to the football league, the U’s have just a solitary victory, two draws and the rest defeats – talk about a bogey team. That victory btw was under caretaker manager Scott Marshall during the infamous Wagmi-gate debacle, when Matty Etherington had to stand down for a game whilst our lawyers checked the fictitious contract hold that Crawley claimed they had over him. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe we should have stuck with Scott Marshall?
As for tomorrows line-up, unfortunately we continue to be plagued by injuries, with Bishop limping off early against MK Dons with a calf strain, Kuffour Jr reportedly out with an ankle ligament injury, Oni a hamstring injury in training, even Harvey apparently has a minor injury, and Anderson seen at the New Years Day match wearing a knee brace. With all that in mind, I can’t decide whether Danny might stick with the general theme from the last game with Tovide on the right, Lisbie on the bench and possibly Mbick and Goodwin leading the line, or reverting to our more regular line-up with Tovide and Mbick up front and Lisbie starting? I’m going for the latter and fingers-crossed everyone comes through the game unscathed.
I may be getting old, but although there was a stunning sunset on New Years Day, it was bitterly cold. Tomorrow will be more of the same, a bright sunny day but barely above freezing, and in a gentle breeze from the west, it’ll feel well below freezing. Wrap up warm if you’re heading to the JobServe, and I do hope they’ve sorted out the frozen irrigation pipes.
It’ll be a tough game tomorrow, but the U’s to win 2-0 with Read opening the scoring.

Thread | MK Warne Down By Weary U's
by RSCOSWORTH at 17:12 31 Dec 2025
Happy New Year U’s fans!
After two hard fought 1-1 draws away from home across the festive period we kick off the New Year with a home match against Milton Keynes. Tickets look to be selling well, although not in the West Stand it seems, so should be a decent crowd providing MK bring more than their normal coach load. I know it doesn’t count for anything but the calendar year League Two table has us in fifth with 72 points from 46 matches played so 2025 hasn’t been a bad year to be a U’s fan.
We had kept the same starting lineup for a few matches but Danny made changes for the Gillingham game with Hunt and Payne coming in for KVY and Tovide also Anderson looked to have picked up an injury on Monday night so I’m going to assume he’s unavailable which will be a big miss for us. I’m expecting the U’s to line up as follows:
Macey
Vincent Young Tucker Araujo Iandolo
Bishop Read
Lisbie Edwards
Tovide
Mbick
Subs
Smith Hunt Goodwin Tovide Terry Gape Gordon
I think Mbick has looked tired recently so wouldn't be surprised to see Tovide start. I’m not sure whether Akande is ready to play but he can’t be far off and I’m also unsure as to the fitness of Williams, Anderson and Oni so have left them out of the matchday 18.
MK had a difficult time in League Two last season, sacking two managers, but ended the season with the experienced Paul Warne in charge who, in my opinion, was a very good appointment. They’re probably not doing as well as they would’ve liked this season, given that they have one of the bigger budgets in the division, but are still in fourth position with the most number of goals scored and highest goal difference. I fully expect them to finish in the top seven but more than likely in the top three. They’re in decent form too with three wins and two draws in their last six league matches. They also have a 3rd Round FA Cup tie against Oxford to look forward to after knocking us out in the 1st Round back in November. In my head we don’t have a great record against MK and, according to the BBC, it’s just nine wins against 15 in our 28 meetings across all competitions. We did manage the rare feat of beating them three times last season and let’s hope they don’t do the reverse on us this season.
Aaron Collins, who had a loan spell at the U’s, is likely to start up front for MK but their top scorer, and captain, is Alex Gilbey who came through our academy making over 100 appearances for us before leaving for Wigan. His Wigan stay was short lived but he followed it up with successful periods at MK, Charlton and Stevenage (loan) before returning to MK in 2023. His goal return in his second spell is nearly one in every three matches which is pretty good going for a striker let alone a midfielder. I always rated Gilbey when he was here, his family used to live in my road and I once ate a steak cooked by his dad on his BBQ during a Royal street party, and I figured he would go on to bigger and better things but he’s not quite reached the heights I expected him too. He’s had a decent career though and arguably a better career than say Wordsworth or Moncur and even at 31 he’s probably still too good for League Two. Let’s hope we can keep him quiet tomorrow. Other players that have played for both the U’s and MK include Clive Platt, Izale McLeod (barely) and Clinton Morrison. Please feel free to add any others.
The weather at the Jobserve is set to be dry and sunny with a moderate breeze and a high of just six degrees after overnight frosts. Wrap up warm U’s fans, it’s going to be a really chilly one! I know we need to start winning games again but I just can’t see us beating MK so I’m going to have to go for another 1-1 draw with Lisbie grabbing the U’s goal.

Thread | Gills to be left gasping as 2025 closes
by wessex_exile at 14:31 28 Dec 2025
First and foremost, I hope you are all having a pleasant Christmas break relaxing with family and friends, and wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. This will be our final match of 2025, with a trip to Priestfield to face old adversary Gillingham, our second game against them this month and our third this season. This will be our 112th game in all competitions against the Gills, a relationship that started with a Ted Davis U’s side winning 2-0 at Layer Road on 27th August 1938. At the final whistle tomorrow we will also be at the halfway point of the season, so considering at the end of September we were 20th, plenty of optimism for the second half of the season.
As for the U’s and the travelling faithful of nearly 800 at Crawley, I had family over on Boxing Day, so I couldn’t really give the game my full attention. Crawley’s early goal on the balance of play at the time didn’t appear undeserved. It was well struck, might have got the faintest of deflections off Tucker, but Macey will still be disappointed that he let it slip under him so easily. However, the equaliser was equally deserved, an excellent run to the line and cutback from Samson, Read should have buried his chance but the keeper’s parry fell nicely to Lisbie who drilled in off the inside of the post. Thereafter, it seemed quite an even (though dare I say dull) game. We created chances in the second half, but in truth Crawley probably should have won it at the death, only foiled by the feet and then hands of Macey in a last-ditch double-save, with Loft then blazing the final rebound wide of the far post. On balance, a solid point, another game unbeaten away, but the gap to the play-offs is growing again.
Since our return to the football league, Priestfield has often been quite a happy hunting ground, with only five out of our 21 most recent visits ending in defeat for the U’s, the last one under Kevin Keen exactly ten years ago today (28th December). Gillingham are in a somewhat indifferent run of form at present, yes only three games lost in the last ten, but only one victory and the other six drawn – and that victory was at imploding Bristol Rovers back in early November. Their long-suffering home supporters haven’t seen a Priestfield win since beating Notts County 1-0 on 13th September - I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of those kinds of stats. That early run of form took the Gills to the top of the table, but they’ve floundered since then and currently sit one point and two places behind the U’s.
Incidentally, probably one of our most noteworthy, and certainly memorable games at the Priestfield Stadium wasn’t even against Gillingham – it was the 4-4 draw against exiled Brighton and Hove Albion on Boxing Day 1997. Goals from Isaiah Rankin (two) and Tony Adcock saw the U’s storm into a 3-0 lead at half-time. A second half 20 minute hat-trick from Paul Emblen wiped out that advantage, Scott Stamps rekindled hope that we might leave with the three points on 75 minutes, only for an 86th minute penalty from Jeff Minton to dash that hope entirely.
I’m not aware of any (new) injury worries following on from the Crawley game, so I’d expect the line-up at Gillingham to be broadly along the same lines. However, following two 30+ minute appearances from the bench, I have a feeling Jack Payne might be ready for his place back in the starting XI, with Bishop making way.
The weather in Kent tomorrow evening will be overcast with a gentle breeze blowing in from the Thames Estuary, making the chilly 6 degrees temperature feel like 4 degrees. Fortunately for the travelling faithful on the big open terrace, no rain is expected. Our initial allocation of tickets has sold out, with a new block now made available, so I would expect another sizeable following for the U’s.

Thread | Creepy Crawley Crushed By Cowley's Crew
by RSCOSWORTH at 15:09 23 Dec 2025
Merry Christmas U’s fans!
Boxing Day in proper football leagues means football matches and the U’s face one of their shortest trips of the season as they venture across the Thames to face creepy Crawley. Crawley’s “stadium” is one of the few grounds I’ve gone away with the U’s (the 3-1 League Cup win back in 2019) and it felt like a ground that should be in the National League South but Crawley have been established in the football league since 2011 with two promotions to League One during that time which is impressive given the relative size of the club. We don’t have a huge history against Crawley Town, with just 24 meetings to date of which Crawley have won 11. In fact since that memorable League Cup win we hadn’t managed to beat Crawley until the, not as memorable but probably more important, 3-2 away win towards the end of the 2023/24 season that went a long way to helping us stay in this division.
Unless we have any new injury or illness worries I can’t see Danny making any changes to the starting XI that dismantled Newport County so comfortably on Saturday so I’m expecting the U’s to line up as follows:
Macey
Vincent Young Tucker Araujo Iandolo
Bishop Read
Lisbie Anderson
Mbick
Tovide
Subs
Smith Hunt Goodwin Payne Edwards Terry Williams (Gordon if not fit)
Payne and Edwards did their case for a starting spot no harm with their performances on Saturday and Akande must be close to making the matchday 18 too.
Crawley somehow made it into League One the season before last but their stay was short-lived and they haven’t hit the ground running on their return to League Two with Scott Lindsay back at the helm after a disappointing spell at MK. They currently sit a point above the bottom two and haven’t won since they beat Fleetwood on November 8th. They have had a tough run of games though with trips to Swindon, Bromley and somewhat unbelievably also led 3-2 at Salford before conceding two late goals to lose 4-3. They were also by far the better team against Swindon but didn’t take their chances and lost to a second half penalty, the kind of stuff that happens when you’re at the wrong end of the table.
Not sure there’s anyone in the current Crawley squad that has ever featured for the U’s and I can’t think of too many players that have played for both clubs. Luke Gambin is the only one that comes to mind. A player we signed from Luton in 2019 who had spent the previous season on loan at Crawley with his only goal for the U's being the third goal in the 3-1 victory against Crawley. I’m sure there must be others though.
The weather at the Broadfield Stadium is set to be dry and sunny with a moderate breeze and a high of just six degrees after overnight frosts. Wrap up warm U’s fans, it’s going to be a chilly one! I feel this may prove to be a trickier challenge than their league position suggests but these are the games we need to be winning if we want to climb up the table so I’m going for a hard fought 2-1 victory with goals from Mbick and Read.

Week 21 results
CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1 OXFORD UNITED 0
A Charlie Kelman goal gave Charlton a much-needed victory to end their six-match winless run in the Championship. 4 got this spot-on, and a further 18 had the outcome, with 13 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
DERBY COUNTY 1 PORTSMOUTH 1
Portsmouth were denied only their second away win of the Championship season as a Hayden Matthews own goal gave Derby an equaliser. Well done to unitedwhites for being the only one to have this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome. 21 predicted a win for Derby with 12 going for a 2-1.
PORT VALE 0 PETERBOROUGH 1
Peterborough made it three wins on the bounce in League One after a hard-fought victory at bottom side Port Vale. Only mfb_cufc and BFG got this spot-on, and another 9 had the outcome.
ROTHERHAM UNITED 1 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 3
Huddersfield produced a fine first-half display to earn this win, and ease the pressure on rookie manager Lee Grant. Nobody had this spot-on, but 11 did get the outcome.
WYCOMBE WANDERERS 2 BOLTON WANDERERS 1
Wycombe ended a run of five games without a win in all competitions as they came from behind to defeat Bolton. Only 2 durham_exile and burnsieespana got this spot-on, and only mfb_cufc and basher2010 had the outcome.
SHREWSBURY TOWN 0 CHESTERFIELD 1
Chesterfield moved into the League Two play-off places following this battling win. A sublime 5 had this spot-on, and a further 8 got the outcome.
After the last three weeks had produced a number of hard to predict results when looking for 3 pointers, this week was more like it, and we got 14 in total. They were shared out with only mfb_cufc getting two, the 1-0 wins for Charlton and Peterborough, and the Wycombe outcome, to make him the weeks top scorer for the second week running, with a useful 7 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were ghughes11, who got the Charlton 1-0, and basher2010, who had the Chesterfield 1-0. They each also got three outcomes, to give them both a decent 6 points.
U'sual Champions League With just one 10 game week to go before we know who this seasons qualifiers are, the member in that important eleventh qualifying spot is mfb_cufc with his 93 points.
In the Premier With only 6 points separating the the top six, and just 10 points separating 2nd to 10th, this has to be the most competitive Premier we have had. At the top four outcomes enabled concordman to increase his lead by a point. With the top five scoring 3 or 4 there was no change, but the decent week for ghughes11 moved him closer to them. The only changes came in the bottom half, with the top scoring performance from mfb_cufc moving him up a place, and a solid week for unitedwhites, that included getting that good Derby 1-1, also moved him up place. But he remains in the bottom three that is now 7 points from safety.
In Division One After going three weeks without a 3 pointer, noah4x4 was back on track this week by getting the Charlton 1-0 spot-on. That enabled him to mantain his 29 point lead over Tropical_Us, who had the Chesterfield 1-0 spot-on to remain in the other automatic spot. Going 2-1 all games kept durham_exile in third, and getting the Chesterfield win spot-on kept Blue4U2 in fourth. Three outcomes for gerry_us, and he remains fifth. The only change in this league has the decent week for basher2010 moving him up a couple of places, and back into the play-offs again.

And so, Danny and Nicky enter their second century of games managing the U’s, at home to struggling Newport – let’s hope it starts a bit better than the first century finished. There won’t be many games we score three and lose, trouble is there’ll be even fewer where we concede four and win. That being said, I couldn’t fault the first hour of the Salford game, with the U’s in control of a game against good opposition, and on a typically heavy pitch. Then we kind of fell apart, certainly defensively, helped in no small part by a masterclass from ex-U’s Luke Garbutt (how is he only in League 2?). Credit must also go to 250+ of the faithful, a long trip starting at stupid o’clock – they deserved more than that for their support.
Now to the Exiles on Saturday. Newport were one of the earlier managerial merry-go-round entrants this season, sacking David Hughes back in mid-November with his side rooted at the bottom of the table with just three wins from 16 games. His replacement was somewhat of a surprise, former Leicester City (and Austria) defender Christian Fuchs. A very good footballer in his day, but other than assistant coaching at MLS side Charlotte FC, virtually no managerial experience to speak of. Results seem to bear out that concern as well, with still only three wins this season, but from 20 games now. Mind you, they do have a reputation for grinding out results away from home where needed (2-2 at Crewe on their last trip a good example), so I hope our defence has taken on board the learning from Moor Lane.
There are three League 2 games tonight, none of which involve teams that can overtake us in 12th place, although Grimsby (one of the 1230 kick-offs tomorrow) can leapfrog us temporarily if they win at the League 2 surprise package Bromley. A welcome return to a 3pm kick-off for us, and though we can’t quite reach the play-offs from this game, wouldn’t it be lovely sitting down for Christmas dinner knowing the U’s were within a point or two of doing so ahead of our Boxing Day visit to the Creepy Crawlies.
As to the line-up for Saturday, a tough one to call given Jack Payne was back in the matchday squad last Saturday, and assuming Lisbie has recovered from his shoulder injury. I also haven’t heard any news on Macey’s facial injury, but I would have thought that was something more superficial. I’m going to take a punt on Lisbie starting, Payne on the bench but coming on for the last 20-30 minutes, and why else recall him from loan, Frankie Terry on the bench. Hunt to keep his starting XI slot, KVY on the bench as well.
They’re all must-win games, not sure why people even say that, but after a hard-fought draw against a very physical Gillingham, and the disappointment of letting a two goal lead slip, this really is a must-win game if we want to cement our place as genuine play-off/ promotion challengers. Someone is going to have to suffer the backlash from Salford, and I reckon it’ll be the Exiles – 5-0 to the U’s, with a long overdue opener from Samson.
The weather forecast for tomorrow looks very fair, sunny intervals with a slim chance of a few scattered showers during the afternoon, and the temperature at about 8-9 degrees, though in a gentle breeze from the south east, it’ll feel a few degrees cooler.
And as this is the last game before festivities begin, Merry Christmas everyone!
Up the U’s! |

Thread | January 2025 Transfer Window
by Daniel at 09:03 16 Dec 2025
As per the previous two windows, Danny has said players will have to leave before players come in.
https://www.gazette-news.co.uk
So who would we like to see leave?
According to Coludata, all but six players are out of contract next summer - Akande, Lisbie, Perry, Terry, Tucker, Williams.
I really hope we have options on the likes of Macey, Bishop and Payne - we need them and I don't want us to cash in now.
Right now I'd offload JK Gordon and take any money for Edwards and Tovide. |

Thread | Happy League 2025/26 Week 21 (of 38) - Deadline Saturday 20th December 15.00
by mfb_cufc at 22:30 13 Dec 2025
Week 20 results
LIVERPOOL 2 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION 0
Mohamed Salah marked his eagerly awaited Liverpool return with an assist as his side beat Brighton thanks to a Hugo Ekitike double. A magnificent 7 got this spot-on, and a further 12 had the outcome.
BURNLEY 2 FULHAM 3
Harry Wilson set up two Fulham goals before scoring their third as they inflicted a seventh straight Premier League defeat on Burnley. Nodody had this spot-on, but 11 did get the outcome.
NORWICH CITY 2 SOUTHAMPTON 1
Jovon Makama's controversial winner stopped in-form Southampton in their tracks and gave Norwich a vital leg-up in their Championship relegation fight. 3 got this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome.
LEICESTER CITY 3 IPSWICH TOWN 1
Abdul Fatawu scored a sensational goal from inside his own half as Leicester downed high-flying Ipswich to register only their second Championship home win since 29th August. Again nobody had this spot-on, but 7 (all going 2-1) got the outcome.
BARNSLEY 3 LEYTON ORIENT 2
Barnsley came from behind to win. Another game with no 3 pointer, though 21 did have the outcome, with 12 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
CARDIFF CITY 4 DONCASTER ROVERS 3
Joel Bagan scored a dramatic winning goal in the 99th minute as Cardiff edged out Doncaster in a chaotic and captivating seven-goal thriller to stay four points clear at the top of League One. Everyone predicted a win for Cardiff, but not surprising nobody got it spot-on.
STOCKPORT COUNTY 1 STEVENAGE 3
Chem Campbell scored a superb curling goal as Stevenage climbed to fifth in League One with this win. Yet another game with no 3 pointer, and only Jorash63 and Sector4 had the outcome.
SALFORD CITY 4 COLCHESTER UNITED 3
Ex-U's loanee Luke Garbutt's 92nd minute strike secured Salford a thrilling win having been 3-1 behind. Not surprising nobody had this spot-on, though 5 did get the outcome.
ACCRINGTON STANLEY 0 BROMLEY 1
Deji Elerewe headed home an 89th-minute winner to keep Bromley's promotion charge on track with this narrow win. Only mfb_cufc and Tropical_Us got this spot-on, and another 9 had the outcome.
TRANMERE ROVERS 1 CREWE ALEXANDRA 4
Max Sanders scored a first-half brace as Crewe ended their four-game winless run with a dominant League Two victory. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 5 did get the outcome.
This weeks guest Jorash63 said he had some headscratchers there with the 10 fixtures he picked. Well, for the third week running there were certainly headsratchers with the results when it came to finding those important 3 pointers. It lead to seven games failing to have a 3 pointer. Thanks mainly to the Liverpool 2-0 the other three produced 12 in total, and with a decent total of 97 outcomes it was a respectable week overall. Only one member did well to have two 3 pointers, that was blueeagle, who had the wins for Liverpool and Norwich, and three outcomes, to give him an excellent 9 points. That was enough to give him a share of being the weeks top scorer with mfb_cufc, who was best of those to get one 3 pointer, as he had six outcomes to go with the Bromley 1-0.
U'sual Champions League Just two weeks and 16 games to go before we find out who the qualifiers are for this seasons competition. Current holder Sector4 qualifies automatically, and then the 11 highest scorers over the two divisions will join him. The member currently in the important eleventh place is bwildered with his 86 points. But with seven members within 6 points of that total, there is still a lot to play for.
In the Premier For the third week running it is outcomes that dominate proceedings, and five were enough for concordman to maintain his run at the top, but a good six outcomes for Jorash63 reduced that lead by a point again. A decent week for Sector4, that included having the Liverpool 2-0 spot-on, moved him up a place to fourth. Last seasons runner-up blueeagle continues to improve, and his top scoring performance moved him up a couple of places to fourth. His highest position since Week 6 when he was third. With only 9 points separating the top seven this is the closest Premier League in years. At the bottom RSCOSWORTH finally moved up a place, after being in the 11th place for the last eleven weeks.
In Division One Only outcomes for the third week in a row for noah4x4, but nothing to worry about, as his healthy lead remains virtually intact. A decent week for Tropical_Us with the Bromley 1-0 spot-on, keeps him in the other automatic spot. Going 2-1 all games continues to be profitable for durham_exile, and he moves up another place to third. This means Blue4U2 drops a place to fourth. Having the Liverpool win spot-on keeps gerry_us in fifth, and the final play-off place is taken once again by wessex_exile, after he also had the Liverpool 2-0 spot-on to move up a couple of places. A decent week for oxfcolu, who was another to have the Liverpool win spot-on, moved him up three places to a season high seventh. Only losing out on the top six due to the most 3 pointer rule. Two dropped places for basher2010 and NME_cufc, but they remain within 2 points of the play-offs.

Thread | Jammy Draw For Ammies In Danny's 100th Game
by RSCOSWORTH at 12:50 12 Dec 2025
It's two 12:30 kick offs in as many Saturdays for the U’s as they make the trip up to Salford on the back of a battling goalless draw against Gillingham and an unfortunate midweek defeat by West Ham U21’s in the Vertu Trophy. Danny Cowley was announced as the League Two Manager of the Month this morning and I’m hoping the dreaded Manager of the Month curse doesn’t raise it’s ugly head tomorrow. Although I think I remember someone completely disproving the theory that there is any kind of curse.
With no one from Tuesday night really pushing their case for starting spot I’m expecting the U’s to line up as follows:
Macey
Vincent Young Tucker Araujo Iandolo
Bishop Read
Lisbie Anderson
Mbick
Tovide
Subs
Smith Hunt Goodwin Gape Edwards Williams Kuffour Jr. (Terry if Araujo injured)
This means there’s no place in the squad for Oni, Gordon or Powell. With Payne, Baldwin, Perry, Akande and Flanagan all still unavailable due to injury.
Araujo looked in a fair bit of discomfort towards the end of the Gillingham game, I was surprised he managed to carry on at the time, but he did seem to be moving better by full time. I did think it may be cramp but the fact that he didn’t figure against West Ham U21’s, possibly cup-tied, and that we’ve recalled Terry from Braintree makes me worried that it’s a more serious issue. If Araujo is unavailable the obvious replacement, with Flanagan and Baldwin both being out, is Kuffour Jr., who has looked decent in the Vertu Trophy games. Another option would be to bring Hunt into the back four but that might lead to other positional changes.
Despite sitting three places and two points above us in the table Salford’s recent league form has been patchy to say the least with two wins, two defeats and two draws in their last six matches. They’ve also had two high scoring cup games recently, a 4-0 victory over Leyton Orient last Friday and a 7-2 defeat by Rotherham a few days previous, both at home. Our record against Salford is a positive one with six wins and three draws from 12 previous meetings however they were the only team in League Two last season that we didn’t take at least a point off. There are a few former U’s in the Salford squad with Ossama Ashley, Luke Garbutt and Dan Chesters all currently in their squad although I’m only expecting Garbutt, who is their captain, to figure tomorrow. On the subject of Garbutt I remember when he first signed on loan for us thinking how good he looked and that he was playing at a level far beneath his ability. It seems that injuries prevented him having the career many expected him to have (he was capped by England at U16 to U21 level) and he only made five appearances for Everton in between loan spells at Cheltenham, us, Fulham, Wigan, Oxford and Ipswich before joining Blackpool, where he spent three seasons, and he’s now in his third season at Salford.
Tomorrow will be the Danny and Nicky’s 100th game in charge of the U’s. No mean feat in the world of modern football and although it’s not always been smooth sailing I, for one, am so glad we’ve stuck with them. They really have transformed the club both on and off the pitch, which was never going to be easy given we were in a pretty dark place back in January 2024. I feel like we now have a team and a club that we believe in and can get behind and that’s all you really want as a supporter. Since Williams left in 2008 we’ve had 14 permanent managers and only three of them (Ward, McGreal and Cowley) managed the 100 game milestone. I expect Cowley to surpass Ward but he’ll have to go some to overtake McGreal who took charge for over 200 games!
The weather at the Peninsula Stadium tomorrow is, surprisingly, set to be dry and sunny with light winds and a high of 10 degrees. Pretty decent footballing conditions, especially for December. As it’s Danny's 100th game in charge I feel a 1-1 draw would be somewhat fitting and I’m backing Mbick to get our goal.
Up the U’s! |

Thread | The Hammers to get hammered by The U’s!
by ghughes11 at 19:42 8 Dec 2025
My dislike for West Ham comes from when I was a lad at school supporting Col U when some of the other (shall we call them ‘cooler’) boys in school decided to change the team they support from Arsenal and Man Utd to their local team! Now bearing in mind that they all lived, and I assume were born in Colchester, I thought that we might have had one or two extra Col U fans to populate Layer Road – nope, I was wrong they plumbed for that other “local” team approx. 60 miles away in East London! Then as I got older there were neighbours and work colleagues that supported West Ham for no other reason than being the local “big Team in Essex!?!?” 
Anyway, moving on and it sounds like lots of other Colchester/Clacton/Witham/Braintree based West Ham fans will be descending on the Jobserve Community Stadium to join Robbie and maybe Danny in the away end (approx. 1,500 at last guess) having not read the script about the boycott surrounding this tournament. 
Ah yes, this tournament. At the time of writing the EFL Trophy is currently known as the Vertue Trophy. I say at the time writing because sponsorship of the Associate Members' Cup (renamed the Football League Trophy in 1992) has had 10 different sponsors in 40 odd years with 4 in the last 10 years (Checkatrade.com, Leasing.com, Papa John’s and now Vertu Motors). However, many Col U fans will remember fondly that this trophy was once known as the Auto Windscreens Shield (1994-2000), and in April 1997 a young Karl Duguid missed the 4th Col U penalty, leaving it to soon-to-be Col U player Warren Aspinall to score his. After Peter Cawley saw his penalty and Col U’s 5th saved, Carlisle captain Steve Hayward scored his to win the penalty shootout for Carlisle. 
Onto Tuesday’s match with “them” down the road and Danny Cowley has admitted that he was disappointed with the EFL for approving the change of date of this match from December 2nd to December 9th having planned for some of The U’s youngsters to feature in the match, before heading out on loan.
Cowley said: “Everything had been planned for us to play West Ham, on December 2.
“But unfortunately, we got on the wrong side of a big club, which sometimes you do.
“West Ham put another fixture on that day and have played strong teams, in this competition to that point.
“I think they have a first team game on December 4 [at Manchester United], so they weren’t keen to play it on that date.
“It’s not ideal for us, because we’d prepared to play it that week and we’ve got some young ones who we really want to go out on loan, but we don’t want them to go out, until they’ve played in this game, because it’s a great game for them and an important part of their development.
“It’s going to move their fixture closer to the run of games that we already have over the Christmas period and after the 9th, we’re away for an early kick-off, against Salford.
“We’re pretty disappointed with the league, because we thought it was an EFL competition and we’re an EFL team.
“I’m a bit perplexed and disappointed that they haven’t supported us in that.
“We’re now going to have to play a West Ham team who already in this competition have played first-team players in Tomas Soucek and have incredible kids, players that won the FA Youth Cup three years ago.
“They’ve got boys like George Earthy who was in the Championship Team of the Year and [Freddie] Potts has already played in this competition as well.
“It’s life changing money for us as a football club – it can really make a difference and we’d just like to have a fair crack at it but it doesn’t look like we’ve been given it, so I think we just have to accept it.”
So, Danny C is getting his excuses in all ready it seems. However, West Ham Utd U21 have lost to Reading 3-1 back in Sept with Soucek playing the full 90 minutes, so we should show no fear! 
As for our starting line-up, I would go:
GK: Smith
RB: Hunt
CB: Kuffour Jr
CB: Araujo (swap for Tucker at half time)
LB: Powell
RM: Gordon
CM: Gape (swap for Oni at half time
CM: Bishop (swap for Read at half time)
LM: Edwards
CF: Willaims
CF: Goodwin
Subs: Chamberlain, Tucker, Oni, Read, Kaion Lisbie, Kyreece Lisbie, Tovide
I’m sure there will some rules and regulations that means this team cannot start, but I cannot be bothered to work it out 
Weather: Light rain, 13oc, Precipitation: 20%, Humidity: 87%, Wind: 26 km/h
Score prediction: 3-2 Col U!

Thread | World Cup 2026
by wessex_exile at 12:37 8 Dec 2025
I'm sure everyone noticed the draw for the 2026 World Cup group stage was made last week, with England drawn in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama. Obviously Croatia should be our strongest opposition (on paper), but it's going to be very hot, perhaps better suited for teams like Ghana and Panama?
Meanwhile, the World Cup Willies had their customary draw, and are in Group C alongside Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, Spain and Brazil (again). Well, Brazil at least, but 2022 semi-finalists Morocco are no slouches, so their advancement may well come down to how they perform against Haiti (another team infinitely better suited to the conditions). I suppose in their favour, given the new format of 48 teams at the group stage with 32 to qualify for the knock-out stage, 3rd place should be enough - all they have to do is beat Haiti and not get completely battered in the other two games.
There are still six places to fill from the play-offs, with Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all in with a shout of joining England and Scotland.
Other takeaways from Friday's draw - if anyone was wondering what level of influence Trump is going to have over the World Cup next year - there was your answer. Or indeed, the level of corruption in FIFA for that matter, with their hastily arranged 'inaugural' FIFA Peace Award going to none other than Trump himself. Trump is still smarting from being overlooked for the actual Nobel Peace Prize, and I would wager a pound to a penny actually demanded FIFA create a Peace Award for him to soothe his fragile ego.
In other news, now the draw has been made, the predetermined "Pride Match" in support of LGBTQ rights on June 26 in Seattle will be between...Egypt and Iran.

Thread | Happy League 2025/26 Week 20 (of 38) - Deadline Saturday 13th December 12.30
by mfb_cufc at 22:07 6 Dec 2025
Week 19 results
EVERTON 3 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0
Thierno Barry ended his long wait for a first Everton goal as the Toffees moved up to fifth in the Premier League. Nobody got this spot-on, but 15 did have the outcome.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2 BRENTFORD 0
Tottenham eased the pressure on manager Thomas Frank with a convincing win against his former club. Only thrillseeker and bwildered had it spot-on, and a further 12 got the outcome, with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was equally the weeks most predicted score.
LEEDS UNITED 3 LIVERPOOL 3
Ao Tanaka scored a 96th minute equaliser for Leeds, as they came from behind to draw after a dramatic second half produced all six goals. Another game with no 3 pointer, though 5 did have the outcome.
IPSWICH TOWN 3 COVENTRY CITY 0
Ipswich inflicted just a second league defeat of the season on the runaway Championship leaders with a superb performance. Yet another game with no 3 pointer, but 5 did get the outcome.
SHEFFIELD UNITED 4 STOKE CITY 0
United continued their excellent resurgence in the Championship by thumping out-of-form Stoke. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, though 13 did have the outcome.
SOUTHAMPTON 3 BIRMINGHAM CITY 1
A win for Southampton in Tonda Eckert's first Championship game as permanent Saints boss. Well done to BFG for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 15 got the outcome, with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks other most predicted score.
Another incredible week, that was almost a replica of last week, with virtually no chance of getting a 3 pointer. Last week there was only 2 spot-ons, and 71 outcomes. This week 3 spot-ons, and 65 outcomes. The recipients of those 3 pointers are mentioned above, and two of them thrillseeker and bwildered were among this weeks top scorers, with a solid 5 points. Along with Tropical_Us, who had a goood five outcomes, only failing to get the Ipswich win to give him a full house, and durham_exile and burnsieespana, whose 2-1 all games also got them five outcomes.
As we are at the half-way stage of the season, I thought it it is time to see how it has gone so far. The 134 games have produced 75 (55.97%) homes, 34 (25.37%) aways, and 25 (18.66%) draws. These are amazing figures, as home wins always run at about 40% every season. This means we have had about 20 more than usual at this stage. The 1-0 is the top result with 16. Nio surprise there, but what is surprising the 3-0 and the 3-1 are joint second with 12. Both those results usually average about 10 over a whole season. Next it is the 2-0 and the 2-1 with 11 each. Best result for an away win is the 1-2 also with 11. The 0-1 has been disappointing with only 6. And the biggest disappointment has been the 1-1 with just 10, well down on previous seasons. It will be interesting to see if these anomalies continue for the rest of the season.
In the Premier Another week where virtually everyone only got outcomes, there is little change again. At the top concordman took his run there to seven weeks, but Jorash63 did cut his lead by a point. The top scoring performance from thrillseeker moved him up a place to third. The only other change had blueeagle moving up a place and back into the top half again. The top scoring performance for bwildered helped to move him further away from the bottom three.
In Division One Three outcomes for noah4x4 took his lead to a nice round 30 points. The bookies have already paid out on him being Division One champ. The top scoring performance from Tropical_Us moved him up two places and into the other automatic spot, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from Blue4U2, who had a 7 point cushion in that 2nd spot three weeks ago. But only 5 points since then, has seen that advantage erode away. The top scoring performance from durham_exile has moved him up two places to fourth, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from gerry_us. Two outcomes for basher2010 was enough for him to take the final play-off place. The only other changes had NME_cufc and BFG both moving up a place.
THE TABLES (134 out of 280 played)
