Was just starting tonight's thread with the team news when your post came up,

I play football manager and one of my scouts scouted Mola, do not sign this player was the report and whenever I have seen him play that report always comes to mind.
 
No Luca Hoole, has he left Cambridge or just not picked or is he unfit at present, got it wrong again it was Shrewsbury he went to not Cambridge
 
A Central Defender to replace Mola and a creative player instead of Hutchinson and we might have a chance of staying in the league otherwise I think it will be another very long season, the super computer reckon 16th place at the seasons end was the last I saw
 
16th? I'll take that now from this squad. But if we can shift 3/4 of these and bring in the right signings then hopefully we can be fighting with the teams chasing a top 7th.
 
So do I but they always say you should never go back

Daniel has put on the Bristol Live commentary page Not ideal over at Tranmere, what has happened at Tranmere any ideas

He is also commenting that the East stand is just the press type and the south stand is largely empty to

Think this will make it 6 defeats in the last six first round matches because I cannot see us scoring

43rd minute free kick Rovers about 30 yards out which goes out for a throw in to Cambridge

45th minute cross from Mola to Harrison who thought he had a team mate behind chance wasted

3 minutes extra time to be played

45+1 corner to Rovers that their GK got ahead of Kilgour

HT Rovers 0 - 1 Cambridge

Cambridge by far the better side. Always looking to break fast and always seem to have an option available. Whereas Rovers look clueless when going forward like they have no plan whatsoever.

3rd game in a row where we have conceded from the oppositions first shot on target. Rovers still with no shot on target.

The goal we conceded, Kilgour out muscled and the keeper was rooted and didn't even try to make a save. Just stood there.
