Cambridge United: Ripped Apart…. (Oct — Nov 2014)

Hello Friends and welcome back to the latest report from my Cambridge United story. As the title easily suggests things have not been going well at all so the style of this report is somewhat different than my usual offering.

Premier League

As you can see our form has been nothing short of atrocious with only one win over the last nine games and that coming from a late penalty kick at home to Middlesboro’. Our defence is indeed no match for EPL strikers with the two central defenders being pulled out of position time and time again leaving massive holes for through balls and easy shots for opposition front men. As for our attack well it’s nowhere to be seen as the screen shot so harshly reveals.

EPL Table

No surprise then to see that we are bottom and well on our well to setting a record of the most goals conceded in a Premier League season which apparently is 100 set by Swindon Town.

League Cup

Having beaten Birmingham in the previous round 5-0 hopes were high at producing another upset at home to Spurs in the 4th Round. The Londoners were three before the half time whistle and although we were competitive it was the back four who sadly let us down again in this 4-0 defeat.

Euro Cup

Ironically in this competition we are doing remarkably well. After an expected defeat against Inter Milan, Polonia Warsa were no match for us as we scored 10 goals in back to back games with the home fans being treated to a 7-0 thrashing of the Polish side at The Abbey Stadium.

So we actually top the group with just two games remaining and could actually go through to the next round!

Other News:

Our stadium expansion has been completed and so we can now hold over 12,000 fans;  hopefully they will start showing up as we are propping up the Premier League attendance table as well.

Fixtures

Our Euro Cup destiny will be decided in very short order whilst in the EPL it’s very difficult to see any change in our form as we are just totally outclassed by everyone we have faced.

So that’s it. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!!
