    Hi all Cambridge fan here. My nan was from Bradford and her family had a fish and chip shop up there in the 1930s so I've the slightest link to you all so hope you don't mind me posting. Just to say I think a draw was a fair result but if you'd have got all 3 we couldn't have complained. How on earth are you where you are....? BTW a load of us think the shot that hit both goal posts also crossed the line..

    Thanks for the comments about the commentary....Doug and Johnno are really respected and really fair. They also do their research. Just get those white numbers changed.

    Anyway best of luck for the rest of the season...there's no way you'll be in the relegation mix....there's a classy team developing there. Sean

    Was just going to mention Sutton, I thought he was superb today, I admit to judging him before he kicked a ball but estatic to be proved wrong. I'd even go as far as say he's becoming one of if not the first name on the team sheet, his work rate and commitment is exactly what we need. Not afraid to take a man on too.

    We've done ok. Better side for 30 mins, then they've grown into it. Half time probably come at the right time amd a great save by Hornby just before the whistle.

    Main gripe - we're trying to be too intricate in the final third. These conditions, sub keeper on, we should be pulling the trigger more readily.

    Best commentary I've heard all season, as balanced as you can get.

    The fact we’re slightly disappointed with a point away at the team top of the league shows how much we’ve progressed over the last month or so

    Disagree.
    He's a vital part of a defence that has been brilliant the last few months

    I'd like to see Stevens start. We've been desperate for some pace in the side and now we have it, it would be silly not to use it. Pritchard's injury is an opening where I can see Clarke moving to the left for Stevens on the right.

    It’s a bit weird listening to a commentary team where BOTH sound quite informative and describe the action in a neutral way. Singing our praises which is refreshing.

    Good away point.
    Incredibly unlucky not to have got three from Evans' shot.

    That was an entertaining 0-0.
    Brilliant effort after our postponements of late.
    Certainly no evidence of momentum loss.
    Well done City, T & S and the backroom staff.

    I was there with my the wife I recently lost and a few things I remember about that evening. I think it was 0.0 at half-time and although it was a sunny evening it was very cold. I also remember towards the end of the game a policeman who had been strolling up and down the touchline talking to me and Carol. He said "I'm supposed to stop you going on the pitch (to celebrate) at the end of the game but I'm only going to make a token effort so go for it".

    I'd leave as is, AOC has been our most consistent centre back. Canavan has to earn the right to spilt a defence that has conceded 2 in 5.

    Decent performance, decent result, but tinged with frustration. Feels like 2 points dropped. Bit more composure in the final third and we win.

    Nevertheless, to go away to the side top of the league and shade it, is a big improvement from 6 weeks ago.

    If we land that left winger and striker we're after, we could be flying.

    Disappointed we didn't win that. Need to have the conviction to shoot more because the keeper had nothing to do, despite us getting into some really good areas. But it shows how far we've come when we're disappointed with only a point away at top of the league, who I thought again, looked average at best.
