United came close to scoring in the ninth minute, Ben Worman’s corner sinking awkwardly for the home defense, in no man’s land. Williams and Ironside slashed at the ball desperate for any connection that would put the ball over the line, but to no avail. Worman, replacing Simper as United’s only change, again found himself...

U’s 1 (Yes, really!) – Grimsby 2: Shhhhhhh
Ugggghhhhh, here we go again. Another match report writing all about a lacklustre U's defeat. When is this gonna end? What's got to change? I wish I knew.

Where do you start to dissect what happened on Saturday then? The defeat wrapped up a horrendous October for United, which saw us pick up three points... Continue Reading →
Wycombe 2-3 U’s: Dark Arts
That's how you bloody do it, isn't it? Out-Wycombe-ing Wycombe on their home turf with a lesson in game management that will be studied for years to come. The Amber shorts probably helped too... But to focus purely on the timewasting and shithousery would take away from what was actually a really good team performance,... Continue Reading →
