I thought Saturday's game was dismal. Tamworth were utterly dreadful, so whether they are top or bottom you should hope to beat a team playing that poorly.

Not at the Abbey then Mr Lowlife?

Don`t tell me you`re converting to City?

Actually I thought City played very well and made them look average. We stopped them playing and should have won the game ourselves.

You're not a City fan so you wouldn't see it the way we do would you?

Kindly keep your sourpuss opinion to yourself and stick to the Abbey.

As I am not a die-hard City fan, I would like to think I can take a more dispassionate view of the game.

Perhaps City did stop Tamworth playing, but the visitors looked to me like they didn't have an idea in their heads. Too much pressure perhaps?

Question - shouldn't Fox be in the team or at least on the bench? Skelly didn't have the happiest of games.

I encouraged a friend of mine to attend Saturday, he isn't a City fan and he was very much entertained by the game. It was no classic but City's performance against a side that has swept just about all before it this season WAS admirable. Our good performance prevented Tamworth from playing, just as we did against Stafford.

I think you've watched too many games up the Abbey and no longer recognise a good performance when you see it.

PS the team is fine as it is, Fox does not need to be in the team at this time.

Don't get me wrong, getting a point from the leaders is admirable, they must be doing something right to be where they are. Standing up to them physically is plus point in itself.

Disagree about Fox though, the guy is quality, the one who stands out as being League standard. Matches are often won by quality - the one cross or shot that is outstanding - and Fox is more likely to deliver that than anyone else.

Still, I suspect his omission is not entirely down to playing performance.

... fair point about the Abbey, a good performance is hard to spot up there at present. Its been a great tonic to watch City sweep all before them in the Dr Martens League through a succession of pulsating displays of attacking genius.

A positive word - much as I like Challinor, Sturgess has been excellent.

....is the lowest form of wit....living up to your name Lowlife?

Whatever you say. I was only responding to a dig at United after all! I wonder if repeating lame cliches like "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" is actually lower.

How are we all going to get on when we start sharing a ground, eh??

United will have gone bust before that happens.

Your lot won't survive the summer, then I expect you'll be on here more than you are now, seeing as you'll have to start supporting US as your no1 team.

Its possible certainly, but I don't think that will happen. The Abbey wage bill will be slashed this summer at last - the departure of Perez alone will knock a big chunk off.

I'm on here a bit, because I love football and I love Cambridge football. It disappoints me hugely to see City so low in the table, because I think the squad is better than that.

Its unlikely I'd be at City any more than I am now, if the U's go bust, as I am at almost every home game - even Tuesday and Saturday last week.

Out of interest, would you welcome the influx of U's supporters if CUFC went under, or would you view them as unwelcome interlopers?

If they were prepared to support the club wholeheartedly I would welcome them with open arms, but if they attended and kept coming out with "not as good as watching United is it?" etc etc then they could p*ss off.

I suspect many of them/us might mutter that at first, but soon get attached (like me).

I wonder what percentage of the City crowd even now are not 'genuine' City fans, but floating football fans/United fans when U's are away. I certainly see a good number of United fans up there on a regular basis, perhaps more than you realise since you don't (presumably) go to the Abbey.

We'd be foolish to turn down any new fans for whatever reason they started supporting City (I myself am a new fan this season). How else are we going to grow and improve as a club? If they genuinely want to support City, then that is a good enough reason to welcome them.

I was encouraged by the performance on Saturday too.

After the abysmal performance against Salisbury I vowed I wouldn't go again this season, but faced with going shopping with the missus on Saturday afternoon I soon found myself at Milton Road instead.

Out of the two teams vying for the premier divison title ie Kettering and Tamworth, City have taken eight points and neither have beaten us. It's just a shame we can't raise our game against the run-of the-mill sides too.

I think Fox has been left out because, whilst he looks good going forward and is probably the best crosser at the club, he has always always pretty suspect defensively. His charging forward and inability to get back in time always left spaces at the back - at this stage of the season, we need to keep a tight ship and grind out points. Fox would fit in better if we played a three at the back system - but in a back four, we are better off with Skelly.
