Coneely back - I agree. But not at the expense of Husin.

That means Pearson comes back for:
Rodgers - unthinkable
Beckles - you must be joking
Hughes - not in the dependable and cool form he's in
The Don - please, not him, he's cooking on gas again

Who's it going to be?

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Donacien out and Matty at LB.

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Matty's passing was not great last night (I thought).
What really stood out was how much Husin was in the game. Always the right place at the right time. The play seemed to pass Matty by quite a lot.

I think Husin's shooting prowess is dreadful though.... almost embarrassing against Grimsby.

On another note, Chappers has clearly been reading this forum and showed that he could be a decent outfield player when he cleverly turned one of their forwards in our penalty area.
It was actually the only heart stopping moment throughout.

Really enjoyed the injury time singing from the Clayton End. A very rare time when they knew the game was safe and vocal harmonies could be allowed free rein.
I must admit that one of the downsides of McCartan's goal rampage is that the awful "Shay MCartan Baby" song gets so many airings.

Finally, a couple of questions:
1. Anyone ask Matty Crooks when he's coming back?
2. Why were Coley and Derry shouting at each other?

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Beckles out and drop Matty back, to me Omar takes far too many risks and makes too many mistakes

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Just thought Matty was very effective last night,surging run down the left channel for the first goal, burst through the middle and made the defender hesitant for Shays goal and was a whisker away from a tap in for a deserved third goal following another lung bursting run.
He just ticks all the boxes for me and can attack as well as defend.
Husain did well covering his forward runs,been impressed with him as well.

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Might sound like I am dreaming but....
Matty Pearson is beginning to remind of.......
...one Duncan Edwards:jimbo:

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

To answer your second question Lord D, the altercation between Coley & their manager was over what appeared to be an elbow in the face of one of our players by one of theirs - as far as i could hear Coley queried why nothing was done about it & their 'discussion', liberally sprinkled with the 'f' word, was over whether or not it was deliberate. Nothing but handbags in the end though

Slightly longer highlights. How good is it to see our players driving forward and terrorising a defence like that?!

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

I thought it was just me, I wonder if young Omar is getting ideas above his station at the minute??

Even though out of position Mr Rodgers is in outstanding form at the moment, so for me either keep him at right full back and bring Matty back to left back OR drop the aforementioned Mr Beckles where he belongs on the bench and go;

MATTY HARVEY HUGHESIE DON

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

I could have sworn I read on here about Beckles going to the championship or the premier league, some real dreamers about

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

the dreamers are those that that forget that Young Omar won MOTM every week for four months, that he's the key man in a defence that's conceded 3 goals in 6 games since his return from suspension.
I think he's become more consistent of late, but since Hughes has finally got his act together and the impressive Rodgers has come in he's just not as outstanding and doesn't have to take on everything on his own shoulders.
It's also his first season in the league.

Got to be The Don v Matty for that left back spot.

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

Biggest defensive improvement is Rodak.
Defense now know that the keepers not going to drop a clanger.
Even on Tuesday the ball never seemed completely under Chapman's control.
Hughes has been immense recently.

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

The tone was set in that first game of the season when we were given the runaround and alas poor Chappers had a stinker. It may have made the defence nervous for the first half of the season as our two dodgy keepers were rotated, until Rodak came in and confidence was allowed to return.

Since things are steadier now, it's not too bad with Chappers back in. The defence protect him better (especially crosses in) and there's comfort in knowing if he does concede there's a good chance of scoring down the other end. Possibly relaxes him, and the rest of the team?

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

[QUOTE=Lord Didsbury. The defence protect him better (especially crosses in)

should be the other way round with his size. doesn,t use his biggest asset as he should for me.

Re: From Parker's Piece Cambridge to Wham Accrington
 

If that's the case lord it's not even up for discussion is it?

Personally I think JC will go with exactly the same team that started on tuesday
