We travel to Northwich for an FA Cup match. We faced them to open our season, also on the road, and lost 1-0. We have decided to stay with a 4-5-1 for the time as it has been working well recently. Rendell is back but not at full strength and Holroyd has been plahyig well so we will keep Holroyd in to start and have Rendell to come in off the bench. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - Gleeson ML - McMahon MC - Farrell MC - Convery MC - Beesley MR - Challinor ST - Holroyd Subs: Quinton, Carden, Hatswell, McAuley, Bennett, Parkinson, Rendell 1st half - Challinor was injured and eventually replaced by Bennett at right midfield in the 17th minute - Bennett had two chances within a couple minutes of each other late in the half, the first he was robbed on a great save by the keeper and the second he was flagged offside - The game goes to the half scoreless 2nd half - In the 49th minute Holroyd first from just inside the box on the right wing side and just misses the left corner to keep the game scoreless - Rendell in for Holroyd at striker in the 64th minute - Quinton in for Convery at center midfield in the 64th minute - In the 73rd minute McMahon with a freekick from about 35 yards out goes just high and the game remains scoreless - Farrell gets shown a yellow car in the 74th minute after what was deemed a hard foul - In th 76th minute midfielder Matty Crowell received a corner from the right wing and directed it into the left side of the goal to give Northwich a 1-0 lead - We had a couple decent chances but nothing that coudl even the score as wel fall 1-0 to Northwich on the road for the second time this season, this time eliminating us from the FA Cup - Matty Crowell was named man of the match |

We host first place Rushden. I feel that we should be able to beat them in front of our fans as we have been plahying quite well at home as of late. The biggest question is to stay with 4-5-1 or shift back to 4-4-2. I have decided that having both Holroyd and Rendell on the field together gives us a great offensive threat and that cannot be passed up. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - Gleeson ML - McMahon MC - Farrell MC - Convery MR - Parkinson ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Carden, Beesley, Hatswell, McAuley, Bennett - McMahon will be making his 150th career league appearance - Rendell needs 2 more goals to reach 25 with Cambridge 1st half - In he 3rd minute Rendell almost made that strategy pay off as he received a throuh ball and fired one off the keeper and out for a corner - On the ensuing corner Rendell headed the corner from Convery into the net to give us a 1-0 lead - In the 12th minute McMahon took the ball down the left wing and sent a cross into the box where Rendell directed it just wide right, he seems to be back at top form - The half ends with us up 1-0 2nd half - In the 55th minute the ball found Holroyds foot inth box and he fired i off the keeper and it was cleared to keep the score 1-0 - Rob Elvins took across and one touched it into the goal to tie the game 1-1 in the 60th minute - Bennett in for Parkinson at right midfield in the 60th minute - In the 67th minute Bennett hit Holroyd with a cross but Holroyd heads it just wide right to keep the game tied at 1-1 - Beesley in for Farrell at center midfield in the 68th minute - Carden in for Convery in at center midfield in the 68th minute - Bolland is given a yellow card in the 79th minute for a trip - In th 82nd minute Bennett intercepts a pass, dribls pst a defender down the right wing, sends a fine pass all the way to Tonkin at left wing, Tonkin with a one touch pass to Holroyd who scores... GOOAALLLLLLL... but wait, a flag was up, offside, goal disallowed - In the 84th minute Holroyd cuts into the top of the box from left wing and instead of passing to Rendell near the center as everyone expected he passes to Bennett sneaking in on the right wing foran onside play, Bennett one touches it into the goal.... GOOOALLLLLL... this one stands and we take a 2-1 lead - The best chance in the remainder of the game was from Beesley in extra time as he directed a shot just wide left as the game endswith us victorious 2-1 - Bennett impressed enough coming off the bench and getting the game winner that he earned man of the match honors We have now had 2 wins and 2 draws in our last 4 league games. In out last 10 league games we have 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. We need to turn mor of those draws into wins. We have gone 7 straight home games without a loss as well. |

G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - Gleeson ML - McMahon MC - Farrell MC - Convery MR - Parkinson ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Carden, Beesley, Hatswell, Quinton, Bennett 1st half - In the 2nd minute Holroyd passed to Gleeson in the middle at about 20 yards out and he put the ball just over the goal to keep the game 0-0 - In the 16th minute Rendell took a pass inside the box and redirected it on goal, it hit the let post and bounced perfectly to Holroyd who sent it into the gaping net for the goal to give us a 1-0 lead - In the 21st minute Convery was injured and unable to contiue, he was replaced by Beesley at center midfield - In the 41st minute a free kick was laid off to Rendell who sent a through ball to Holroyd in the box, Holroyd sent the ball into the lower lft corner of the goal....

Yep!!!!!!  Had to try hard to keep the celebration from being a vocal "YES!!!" due to the very late time I was playing (couldn't get to sleep and I figured that was a good way to pass the time). Last edited by EagleFan : 12-27-2009 at 01:56 PM. |

The Blue Square Premier League names it's Team of the Week. Danny Potter and Scott Rendell each find their names on the list. *** - I have been named the Blue Square Premier Manager of the Month for November.

We travel to play at Torquay. Though they were co-favorites before the season they have played poorly and are in 18th place. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - Gleeson ML - Parkinson MC - Quinton MC - Beesley MR - Bennett ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Carden, Convery, Hatswell, Farrell, McAuley 1st half - In the 14th minute striker Elliot Benyon scores from the center of the box as our defense was a man short with Gleeson on the sideline with an injury and we fall behind early 1-0 - McAuley in for an injured Gleeson at right defender in the 14th minute - In the 26th minute Potter makes a fine save to keep our deficit at just 1-0 - In the 30th minute Bolland is shown a yellow card for holding Benyon - In the 33rd minute Benett goes just wide right from about 20 yards out - In the 36th minute Holroyd sends Rendell into the box where he gets off a quick shot but goes wide right - We are unable to get the equalizer and trail 1-0 at the half 2nd half - After I handout a halftime verbal thrashing (very different from my normal approach) we head back out with no lineup changes but some slight tactic changes (shortening the gap between midfield and defense for one as we have given them too much room to operate) - In the 54th minute a misplay by a defender put the ball on Holroyd's foot with a great chance but he shanked it wide - In the 55th minute a fine long pass to Rendell gave him a ahcne just inside the box but a fine save by the keeper kept us down 1-0 - Also in the 55th minute Holroyd had a fine chance but put it right at the keeper and the rebound was cleared - Convery on for Beesley at center midfield in the 56th minute - In the 59th minute Benyon took a barely onside pass inside the box and one touched it past Potter into the lower left corner of the goal for the 2-0 lead - In the 69th minute Coulson is shown a yellow for a hard tackle - Carden in for Convey who was injured at center midfield in the 75th minute - In the 82nd minute Parkinson crossed from teh left wing to Bennett on the right with a one touch shot but he put it over the goal - We are unable to get on the sheet and our streak ends in a 2-0 loss to Torquay - Benyon was the man of the match, no surprise |

The Blue Square Premier League named it's team of the week. Danny Potter has been named to the team. December 9, 2008 We travel to Burton to play them for the first time this season as our congested schedule continues in December. They are currently in 4th in the league. We need to bounce back quickly from that last game. Burton striker Shaun Harrad is the man to watch as he leads the league with 18 goals. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - Farrell ML - Parkinson MC - Quinton MC - Beesley MR - Bennett ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Carden, Convery, Hatswell, Crow, McAuley - Bennett is abut to make his 325th league appearance 1st half - In the 12th minute Coulson takes Harrad dwn int eh box and a penalty is called - Surprisingly defender Aaron Webster takes the kick and deposits it in the left side of the goal to give Burton a 1-0 lead, we are looking quite tired early in the match - From about the 30th to the 34th minute we had a sustained attack but could not generate any good chances in that time period, just a lot of possession and we trail 1-0 at the half 2nd half - In the 47th minute a Burton counter attack sent Harrad down the right wing well beyond the defense (offside?) as he cut towards the goal he fed striker Martin Butler for the easy tap in to take a 2-0 lead - In the 51st minute Parkinson gets called for a trip on Harrad in the box for another penalty, a very questionable call; Webster again takes the kick and it looks like a repeat of the first as he rips it into the left side of th goal for the 3-0 lead, we are in a world of trouble in this one - Crow on for Coulson and moves to striker and McAuley on for Farrell at right defender as we go with a 3-4-3 in the 54th minute - In the 56th minute Potter with a fine save against Harad to keep it 3-0 - In the 57th minute on a counter attack Holroyd got the ball with space to shoot from 20 yards out and put it into the top left corner of he goal to make it 3-1 - In the 59th minute Harrad sends Butler in alone on Potter and he puts it into the right side of the goal to make the score 4-1 just as we started to feel better after making it 3-1 - In the 64th minute Bolland gets shown a yellow for tripping Harrad, that will give him a suspension this season - In the 76th minute Harrad gets the pass in the boxand rips his 19th goal of the season and it is now 5-1, we are looking to crawl away and hide at this point - We give up yet another before the final whistle and walk away with our heads hung low after a 6-1 defeat, our low point of the season as of late - Aaron Webtster won man of the match for Burton |

We play at Ebbsfleet in an FA Trophy match. We have split the league series with them this season, each winning at home. Though there is a lot of pressure from our board to do well I don't realistically see it with all the injuries that we have and our recent schedule from hell. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - McAuley ML - Parkinson MC - McMahon MC - Farrell MR - Convery ST - Beesley ST - Rendell Subs: Gleeson, Hatswell, Bennett, Challinor, Holroyd (both Chalinor and Holroyd have not recovered fully from their injuries and will most likely not see any time) 1st half - In the 2nd minute Parkinson crossed to Rendell; his header went off the crossbar, as Beesley tried to go for the rebound he was mugged and a penalty was called - Rendell took the penalty and blasted into the left side of teh goal for the 1-0 lead!!!!!!!!! - The joy did not last too long as in the 9th minute midfielder Stacy Long redirected a long outlet pass into the net behind Potter to tie the game 1-1 - Bennett in for an injured McMahon at center midfield in the 26th minute - The half ends with no further incident and tied at 1-1 2nd half - In the 48th minute a missed interception by Coulson let to midfielder Robbie Lawton having room to shoot from about 25 yards out and he fired a shot into the upper left corner for the 2-1 leaqd for Ebbsfleet - In the 60th minute Lawton finds an offside midfielder Ricky Shakes right in front who fires it home for the goal and no offside call, we now trail 3-1 - Gleeson on for an exhausted Convery at right midfield in the 76th minute - Hatswell on for an ineffective Coulson at center defender in the 76th minute - In added time Beesley had a free kick from about 25 yards out but on the right wing, he put it just high - We go on to lose 3-1 and are out of this competitiion - Robbie Lawton is named man of the match McMahon will be out between 5 and 6 weeks.

Conference League Cup quarter final at Wrexham. We played them to a 1-1 draw in a league game at home early in the season. Now we have a very tired team playing on the road in a televised game and we really want to put on a good show for our fans and supporters. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Coulson DC - Bolland DR - McAuley ML - Parkinson MC - Challinor MC - Farrell MR - Convery ST - Beesley ST - Rendell Subs: Bennett, Holroyd, Hatswell, Gleeson, Quinton 1st half - We weather a storm in the first 15 minutes which saw several shots go wide of their mark as Wrexham was attacking all out early trying to get the early lead - In the 29th minute Potter makes an outstanding save diving to his right on what should have been called an offside play - The half ends scoreless, we are going to look for a good counterattack opprtunity and try to turn that into a go ahead and hopefully game winning goal 2nd half - Hatswell in for an injured Bolland at center defender to start the second half - Bennett in at right midfield for an exhausted Convery to start the second half - Gleeson for and exhausted Challinor and moves to right midfield while Bennett moeve to center midfield to start the second half - We hopefully don't shoot ourselves in the foot by using 3 subs but we have two players who can't keep up due to being worn out and another that can't because of injury so it has to be done - In th 74th minute Bennett sends Rendell through the middle and he shoots at the top of teh box just before defenders converge on him but it goes just over the goal - In the 75th minute a scramble in front of our goal led to Potter making back to back saves before the ball got cleared, the ball came within inches of the line each time - In the 78th minute defender Simon Spender snuck in and received a cross on the left side and buried it into the goal to give Wrexham a 1-0 lead - We are unable to get the equalizer and fall 1-0 - Simon Spender was named man of the match Tonkin and Bolland both were injured in the game but it seems to be nothing serious (thankfully, if they were both going to be out were would be in SERIOUS trouble). |

We host 21st pace Woking in a game that we are a heavy favorite. Hopefully we can get through this game healthy and with 3 points in our pocket. Though the fans my feel differently I am not worried about style points in this game and just want a win (even if it's a 1-0 snooze fest). G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Hatswell DC - Bolland DR - Gleeson ML - Parkinson MC - Beesley MC - Farrell MR - Convery ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Bennett, Quinton, Challinor,Coulson, McAuley - Potter to make his 150th league appearance - Holroyd to make his 25th league appearance for Cambridge 1st half - In the 5th minute Holroyd made his presence known with a chance in front which bounced off the keeper and back to him, he tried a second shot but a defender blocked it and it was cleared - In the 14th minute Parkinson's shot from teh left side of te box whistled just outside of the right post - In the 22nd minute Convery had a free kick from about 30 yards out but put it wide right - In the 43rd minute Holroyd received a pass about 12 yards in front, turned and fired but a fine save deflected the ball over the top of the goal for a corner - Though we controlled the first half it ends scoreless (we outshot them 8-1 and had 7 corners to 1 for Woking) 2nd half - Bennett in for an exhausted Convery at right midfield in the 55th minute - In the 78th minute the crowd is silenced when midfielder Paolo Vernazza slices a free kick from 35 yards out just inside the upper left corner to give Woking a 1-0 lead - Coulson in for Tonkin and moves to cenger defender while Hatswellmoves to left defender in the 79th minute - Challinor in for Farrell at center mifield in the 79th minute - We are unable to mount an attack and fall 1-0 in a bad defeat - Paolo Vernazza was named man of the match |

We travel to Wrexham in need of an upset victory to grab 3 much needed points as Oxford continues to pull away from the pack and we need to try to keep pace (or get back on a roll to keep pace).

We take a 1-0 lead. - In the 42nd minute Tonkin was injured and had to be replaced, Coulson came on and went to center defender as Hatswell went t Tonkin's place at left defender - In the 45th minute Potter misplayed a ball and the ball ends up in the goal as he is given an own goal and we are now tied 1-1, the low point of the game so far and a rare mistake by Potter - The half ends tied 1-1 2nd half - Challinor in for an injured Farrell at center midfield in the 71st minute - We withstood a late offensive in added time but kept them from getting off any good shot on goal in that barrage - The game ends 1-1 - Dan Gleeson is named man of the match Farrell suffered a thigh injury and will be out 3-4 weeks. Tonkin suffered a twisted knee and will be out 3-4 weeks. Last edited by EagleFan : 01-01-2010 at 04:08 AM. |

Small write up on this one as almost all the way through the game I must have hit somehting that cleared everything that I had typed. At Kidderminster in a league game, we were hoping to get off the draw streak and gain ground in the standings. I put Rendell on the bench to start the game due to his recent lack of performance. We started out poorly falling behind 2-0 in th efirst 20 minutes. We fought back to tie the game with 2 goals by Holroyd and the game ended 2-2. Sadly we also had 2 goals disallowed due to offside or we could have turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 victory. Holroyd earned man of the match with his two goal performance. |

Lost much of what I was writing so I will go with the short version. We played at Lewes who is in last place in the league in a game that we needed to win. We started out early with a penalty kick goal by Challinor. Holroyd added a goal to make it 2-0 which we held at the half. In the second half Lewes cut the lead in half but then another penalty kick goal, this one by Beesley gave us the 3-1 lead which was the final score. Beesley was named man of the match. |

We return home to host 14th place Crawley. We beat them 2-1 on their home field earlier in the season and hope to continue our unbeaten run with another win. I am a little concerned with the booking happy referee that we will be getting in this game. David Richardson has only done 9 games this season and has handed out 48 yellow cards (3rd most mong all referees but he has dne a third of the games) and 2 red cards (5th most) in that short time. He has one of the worst ratings among all referees. I don't like adding this unknown wild card into the mix. We are going with the same lineup as last game but tweaking our strategy just a little to defend against the speed of the Crawley strikers. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Gleeson DC - Bolland DR - McAuley ML - Parkinson MC - Quinton MC - Challinor MR - Willmott ST - Holroyd ST - Beesley Subs: Bennett, Coulson, McMahon, Farrell, Rendell - McAuley is making his 25th league appearance - Beesley needs 2 more goals for 75 league goals in his career - Beesley is making his 50th league appearance for Cambridge - Quinton is making his 100th league appearance 1st half - In the 4th minute Parkinson crosses from the left wing all the way to Willmott on the right who one touched it towards the goal but it went just wide of the left side - In the 26th minute Bolland received a yellow card for a trip - In the 30th minute after a corner rebounded with to Willmott he fired the ball just over the top, he had a lot behind that one - In the 39th minute Parkinson sent a perfect pass through the middle to Willmott who one touched it and again it went just wide of he mark - In the 44th minute Beesley gets mugged in the box on a corner and a penalty is called - Challinor took the penalty kick and deposited it n the left side of the goal for the 1-0 lead!!!!! - We go into the half up 1-0 but should be up by much more, I hope the missed chances do not come back to haunt us 2nd half - In the 52nd minute Holroyd received a cross from Parkinson just to the left of the net and redirected it home forthe GGGOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!! 2-0 and we are starting ths half out right and want tokeep our foot on their throat now - Coulson in for Bolland at center defender in the 75th minute - Rendell in for Beesley at striker in the 75th minute - Bennett in for Quinton at center midfield in the 75th minute - In the 81st minute a scramble in the box led to Holroyd tapping the ball to an open Rendell who fired the ball into the lower leftcorner of the goal for the 3-0 lead!!!!! - The game ends 3-0 - Andy Parkinson is named man of the match for the second straight match |

Revenge is on our mind as we host Burton. Burton gave us our low point of the season as we lost 6-1 on the road to them earlier this season. We want to continue our current run though so winning will be our first goal. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Gleeson DC - Bolland DR - McAuley ML - Parkinson MC - Quinton MC - Challinor MR - Willmott ST - Holroyd ST - Beesley Subs: Bennett, Coulson, McMahon, Farrell, Rendell - Beesley needs 2 more goals to reach 74 career league goals - Rendell needs 3 more goals to reach 50 career league goals 1st half - In the 25th minute Beesley sent Holroyd through the middle of the defenders with a great pass, Holroyd controlled it and shot from about 8 yards out and into the left side of teh net... GGOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! We take the 1-0 lead - In the 27th minute Bolland received the ball with space in front of him and fired a shot frmo about 30 yards out but went high and wide - In the 32nd minute a corner kick rattled off the post and midfielder Danny Holmes put it into his own goal as he did not react to the rebound in time and we take the 2-0 lead - In the 39th minute striker Shawn Harrad took a pass in the box and before we knew it the ball was in the back of the net as he scored his league leading 26th goal of the season to cut the lead to 2-1 - We answer quickly in the 43rd minute as McAuley made a pefect cross from the right wing and Holroyd headed it into the goal to take the 3-1 lead!!!!!!!! - We go to the half up 3-1 2nd half - In the 46th minute Beesley made a great play stealing the ball shortly after kickoff and sent Holroyd into space near the top of the box for a good chance but he put it wide left - Rendell in for Challinor and moves to striker as Beesley moves back to center midfield in the 56th minute - Bennett in for Willmott at right midfield in the 56th minute - In the 60th minute Holroyd had another chance frmo just inside the box and blasted it just wide left - We hold on to the 3-1 win - Chris Holroyd earns man of the match honors Last edited by EagleFan : 01-04-2010 at 10:08 PM. |

We return home to face Northwich who have been struggling badly as of late and have lost 4 straight. We have somehow lost twice to this team, both 1-0, this season.

GGOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Maybe he is back to form! 1-0 lead - In the 19th minute Willmott made a fine play to get around a defender and place a perrfect pass to Rendell who got by he defense and in on goal, he placed the ball past the desperation save attempt by the keeper and into the goal for his second goal of the game!!!! 2-0 lead, no to do what we couldn't do last game and protect it - In the 36th minute Willmott again threaned downthe right wing and crossed into the box for a header by Carden, the keeper made a great save but the ball rebounded right to Rendell who put it nto the goal to complete his hat-trick, 3-0 lead!!!! - We hold the lead until the half, Rendel is on fire today; I guess sitting him had a positive impact 2nd half - In the 51st minute a misplay by Carden led to a chance for striker Darryn Stamp from 20 yards out who placed a perfect shot by Potter and into the goal to make the score 3-1 - Challinor in for Carden at center midfield in the 52nd minute - Bennett in for Willmott at right midfield in the 74th minute - We hold out for the 3-1 win, fans probably wanted a couple more goals but I wanted the win - Scott Rendell is named man of the match, welcome back Scott |

As the season is slowly ticking away all games are must win with Oxford close to clinching the top spot. Today we face 18th place Woking on the road. G - Potter DL - Tonkin DC - Gleeson DC - Bolland DR - McAuley ML - Beesley MC - Bennett MC - Challinor MR - Willmott ST - Holroyd ST - Rendell Subs: Convery, Carden, Hatswell, Farrell, McMahon - Willmott is making his 25th career league appearance for Cambridge - Beesley needs 2 more goals to reach 75 career league goals 1st half - In the 4th minute Potter made a lng outlet pass that Holroyd caught up to bahid the defense and onside, he moved in on goal as the keeper tried to come out to cut down the angle and Holroyrd fired off the keeper and into the goal.... GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! 1-0 lead - In the 18th minute Potter makes a great save diving to his right to keep a well placed shot fro about 25 yards out from getting past him and keeping the game 1-0 - In the 39th minute striker Joel Ledgister fired a shot from just inside the box into the left corner of the goal to tie the game 1-1 - In the 41st minute Bennett made a great one touch pass to Holroyd in the box who shot immediately and put it inside the left post for the goal!!!!! We are back on top 2-1, Woking is furious claiming offside but replay shows it was not as the left defender was deep and kept him onside - In injury time another one touch pass to Holroyd gave him a chance but he put the ball about a foot wide left, he had little time to shoot on that one - We go to half up 2-1 2nd half - In the 58th minute striker Liam Marum got behind our defenders and beat Potter to tie the game 2-2, bad job defending the counter-attack - McMahin in for an injured Beesley at left midfield in the 58th minute - Convery in for Wimott at right midfield in the 58th minute - The game ends with us missing a ocupl chances and ends in a 2-2 draw - Chris Holroyd is named man of the match |
