Massive game. Players need to be on it and focussed on the bread and butter.
The atmosphere won’t be great, as only die hard 7k will be there.
Cambridge are no mugs. Were 3 nil up at Notts county few weeks ago before they ended up drawing. They not playing too badly, they have had a long rest since their last game. So will be fresh and up for it.
We played them off the pitch and lost at their place.
3-1 Coventry, Kelly,Bayliss and Shipley.
I’m hoping for lots of negative predictions please.

It is a massive game. Like Robins says, every game now is like a cup final.
Could be third with a win.
So, so important to bag another 3 points here and on paper it looks good. We have an excellent defence and Cambridge really struggle to score. Just 27 goals in 28 matches.
We have to fancy our chances.

In case no one's noticed..after every fa cup tie we have lost the following league match.
Maidenhead. We lost to Mansfield
Boreham W . We lost to Morecambe
Stoke...We lost to Exeter.
We need this to change after MK Dons.
Draw wouldn't be enough.

Yeah, but now boosted by McDonald's return and Kelly and Vincenti back in the fold too.

Doyle limped onto the team bus, Tuesday may be too soon but then it's Doyle so he will play.
Ibehre hasn't featured in the last 3 games for Cambridge or January for that matter so I don't expect to see him.
Cambridge top goal scorer with 9 goals uche Ikpeazu is fit however and will be a handful for sure.

Usually struggle to get to weeknight home matches but fortunately going to a conference in Brum on Wednesday so I'll be up the Ricoh. Crucial game

Managed to get the day off so I can do a midweek game! Means we’ll inevitably lose.

Bit concerned you might be right. Never liked Shaun Derry, and hoping we don't get outmuscled after the weekend's exertions. First goal will be really important re: atmosphere. Fingers crossed.

We played so well in the game at Cambridge second half we were superb but still managed to lose.
As someone has pointed out each time we've won in the cup we ball s it up the next league game.
We've lost to some dross at home, FGR and others so I'm praying we can scrape through this with a win.
Come on you mighty skyblues

Yep, draw written all over it which is why I am going for a 3-1 win.

With our home form of late, I think we really should be winning this game. However, it’s also the kind of game we usually lose, and we’ve just had a tough cup game whilst Cambridge had a week off. Would take the scrappiest of 1-0 wine. But I think we’ll probably draw this one 1-1. I’m looking forward to this though!

CCFC will kick us in the bollocks as usual. No consistancy

Unfortunately, I can't get to this. After all the excitement of Saturday too. I'll be glued to my phone though and looking on here.

Cambridge's away form is dire - just 2 wins away all season and they have the worst attack in the league scoring 27 goals in 28 games:
They are currently on a 10 game streak without a win on the road:
In terms of their goals for and against they have only scored 9 goals in total away, failing to score in 8 out of 14 games. They have conceded plenty at a rate of 1.79 per game but they have also kept 6 clean sheets (2x 0-1 wins and 4x 0-0 draws). They conceded 5 goals on their last away trip vs FGR:
The timings of their goals conceded is also interesting - a huge amount in the last 15 minute of both halves, particularly at the end of games:
They have also not scored an equaliser all season away from home. Against the top 10 sides this year, home and away, they have P11, W1, D4, L6 GF 8 GA 21. No need to remind you who the 1 win was!
They've lost their main centre back and captain Leon Legge to a shoulder injury and are in the loan market for a new defender having played an 18 year old Harry Darling at the back in the last 2 games, who has spent this season on loan at 7th tier Royston.
With our home form everything points to a comfortable win but we've been poor immediately after Cup matches this season, played a tough weekend game while Cambridge were free and who knows what state the Ricoh pitch is in. Throw in the pressure of potentially reclaiming an Autos spot and this game could just as easily be 0-0 as 3-0.

next 4 games - we lost 3 and drew one in first round of fixtures - so hopefully turn that fortune around!
If we want to cement playoffs and push for autos - not much else than a win Tuesday and Saturday to give us a but more leeway for the tougher Accrington and Luton games coming up will be acceptable.
I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 win (Penalty)
