Under The Abbey Stand

It's not been a quiet week at Cambridge United, that much we can all agree on. For this bumper preview show, we called in the reinforcements, and Tom Walker was raring to go, joining Jordan and Jules to reflect more on Neil Harris' departure as well as the small matter of that lot up the road's visit to the Abbey on Saturday. And a chat about Bolton on Tuesday, which feels like a lifetime ago, thrown in there too.

Well, there's something to wake you up on a Wednesday morning. Neil Harris agrees to rejoin Millwall and become their manager, leaving the U's 77 days after taking charge. That called for an emergency pod, and Caspell and Jules obliged. But to be honest, you're getting their live reactions here, so it'll be just as confused and shocked as yours are.

Jack Swindlehurst is joined by Tom Walker and Matt Gooding to look back at a thumping 4-0 victory up in Carlisle, comedy own goals and ahead to the rescheduled visit of Bolton Wanderers (with some inevitable chat about the little matter of our local derby on Saturday).

A long week of away trips for the U's, and that's one down, one loss, one to go. Jordan and Tom have the pleasure of looking at Tuesday's defeat at league leaders Pompey, and then the greater privilege of previewing Saturday's game at Carlisle, one that's gone from not that huge, to very huge. They are helped in doing so by Lee from the Brunton Bugle.

The pod comes crashing down to earth after last week's win with a bruising 1-0 loss at the hands of Cheltenham Town. Swindle, Jules and Tom discuss what went wrong on Saturday at the Abbey, with a lot of chat about the centre midfield and four interesting substitutions, before looking ahead to the small matter of a visit to league leaders Portsmouth on Tuesday night with a preview from Ian Chiverton.

This week's edition of the Preview Show was supposed to be a bit of a bumper episode owing to an in depth review of Tuesday night's game at the Abbey against Bolton. As it turned out, the only thing that was in deep was the pitch after a certified biblical amount of rain left Ian Darler with too much to do. With that game off, Matt and Tom do their best to reach the half hour mark with a chat about abandoned games and a preview of Saturday's big game against Cheltenham with the help of Owen from The Robins Review.

The UTAS boys are back together for this week's review show, and thankfully for Tom and Jules they avoid making it three 0-0s in a row to discuss. Even better, there's the rarely spotted three points away from home for Jord to guide them through, and they spend most of the pod waxing lyrical over Lyle Taylor as a result.

With the transfer window closing in an hour, Jules and Swindle took the leap and started recording this week's preview show because, come 10pm, Swindle just cannot keep his eyes open anymore. They have a look at our January window signings, especially Macauley Bonne and James Gibbons, and preview Saturday's trip up to Shrewsbury with the help of Dan from Salopcast.

It was a privilege to have new U's gaffer Neil Harris in the studio this week as he joined Jordan and Jules to chat through his career so far and what's led him to the dugout at the Abbey. They chat January transfer windows, agents, Millwall, Barry Corr, and Neil's plans with the squad for the future -  as well as a very short-lived game of football jenga to finish off with. 



Thanks for joining us Neil!

Two 0-0s is an as many weeks, and the UTAS boys are back together to try and squeeze another pod out of it. Luckily though, not being able to break down 10-man Burton at home did provide some frustration which was enough content to get Tom, Swindle and Jules through.
