I decided I couldn't wait until Wimbledon away for a live football fix, so headed off to the Abbey Stadium to watch Cambridge United v Oxford United this afternoon. Oxford gave an impressive lesson in possession football, with 70% possession and stringing together moves with 20+ passes. Lots of precise passing along the backline, into midfield, and then back again. At time I was having flashbacks to watching the County live stream through the lockdown!
Cambridge on the other hand simply scored two goals (including a lovely passing move of the own down the left wing for their second).
Fairly impressive crowd of 7.4K too, not far off a sell out for the Abbey.

Bradford lost at the imaginary goth money pervs who are everyone’s relegation tips Notts and Wrexham shipped 5 each Mansfield threw away a 2 goal lead Doncaster lost at home to Harrogate who were missing their only good player
Really surprised that Sutton are going up but that’s why we play a whole one game to decide everything!

Just like when we kept getting reds this time last season, it was a symptom of playing badly. Still means they had a terrible game.

Its pure quality & slaughters his players.

Quote of the week, and possibly the season; As I was walking away from the game at the Abbey in Cambridge today, there were a couple of dejected Oxford United fans walking behind me, checking the day's results on their phones. Said one of them, "Could be worse, we could be Port Vale fans"

Format of this football league show on ITV is very strange. Main feature is Plymouth v Huddersfield, then moves on to another game but then goes back to interviews from those featured in the first game.

Filling time to get the rest of the stuff into the building and turned round. Guessing they’ve cut budget and number of staff. They should just start it at 9.30 and turn it into an hour.

Would have loved to have seen that game especially with its result. Love to see the possesion only boys get get a bloody nose.

tbf Notts had their keeper sent off very earlier Watch notts managers post match interview. Its pure quality & slaughters his players. Which is double quality because a lot of it is his fault. I said in a thread earlier in the week that Notts would get themselves undone a lot in L2 because they play such a high defensive line and you can get away with that in NL. He called the players naive and overwhelmed but I suspect that goes for him as well.

Glad they’ve cut out the incisive Clinton Morrison/Sam Parkin analysis but literally just showing the goals from L2 and sending offs without other chances/misses is a bit lame. Not showing us hitting the bar etc or Hinchliffes save from our game for instance, but instead non descript interviews with Warnock and a couple of other players. Bit shit.

And the sky highlights talk about Sarcevic setting up the chance for them which Hinchliffe saved !
