Under The Abbey Stand

File that one under ‘classic Cambridge United’. Backed by a sell-out 1800 capacity away end, Harris’ U’s managed to disappoint the amber nation on Saturday afternoon in North London by succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of play-off chasing Barnet. On this week’s review show, Tom and Jord have drawn the short straw to go over the game and the key talking points.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

The fixtures just get bigger and bigger, so big you’ll need a thesaurus by the time Notts County and Bromley roll around. Next up: Salford City, having lost five on the bounce after a big-spending January, they’re now looking to make it five wins on the spin as they’ve got themselves right back in the automatic promotion hunt. Tom and Jules look ahead to that game, as well as looking back at a 0-0 stalemate on Tuesday night at Walsall.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

The reviews are in: it’s five stars for United in a thoroughly dominant performance, on a day where the top three won but the other two in the hunt lost, allowing a tiny bit of breathing room – for now at least. Jord, Matt and Swindle are on the panel, chatting about all the goals and looking ahead to a tough trip to Walsall on Tuesday. Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

Fresh off their big efforts in the half marathon, there’s nothing Matt and Tom will want to be doing more than discussing a tough afternoon in the North West. United themselves huffed and puffed in search of an equaliser and then a winner, but could only find the latter on an afternoon where no one in the top 5 lost.

United were 2 minutes away from a massive three points on Saturday, but a late penalty denied them a win that would have kept them two points from top and put a five point gap between themselves and Milton Keynes. It can be a cruel game, but there’s still plenty of positives to take. Tom, Jules and Swindle are on the review show to look through them and chat about the half marathon prep, which is now less then a walk away.If you want to donate to the UTAS boys running the Cambridge Half Marathon a month or so from now, the link is here!

Three more points added onto the tally, and on an afternoon where only one other team in the top 7 won, it was an excellent day’s work for United.
