Wasn’t it a quad issue and he’s having a scan. Embleton was injured taking a corner in training. Warne said he had never known a player to get injured taking a corner, is it the gypsy curse ?

No. Rotherhamitis.

Let's take the game to them:

Wildsmith

Nyambe    Nelson     Cashin     Forsyth

Fornah

Mendez-Laing     Sibley     Waghorn     Washington

Collins

Subs: Loach/Vickers    Bradley    Elder    Smith    Wilson     Barkhuizen    Brown

What position do you think he played at Carlisle?

In fairness I assumed he played left wing.

The 3 behind Collins mostly rotated. Mendez-Laing on the wings, Waghorn RW and AM, Sibley LW and AM.

My team for Cambridge at home would be    

                  Wildsmith

Nyambe     Nelson   Cashin   Forsyth 

                Smith    Fornah 

Mendez         Waghorn       Barks

                       Collins

Subs   Vickers, Bradley, Wilson, Elder, Washington, Sibley, Brown. 

For me i would keep the defence the same, play Barks outwide instead of Sibbo, play Waghorn just behind Collins, and if Bird is fit enough put him on the bench instead of Brown or even play him in centre mid instead of Smith, depending on how fit he is to play

With us placed just above Cambridge, mid table in the league, the upcoming game between the two teams promises to be quite interesting, especially given that Cambridge recently drew with Port Vale, a team that has been performing better than us this season.

Only time will tell if Warne can pick up 3 points from the must win games against mid table talent, when this team should be in the top 6 places right now.

Are Port Vale really performing that much better than us? They had a notable win away at Oxford but were also mauled at Barnsley and lost at home to Burton.

Cambridge’s away form is won one (Fleetwood) and lost three so this is definitely a game we should be winning (draw it is then 🙁) but it’s not a must win game.

Tom Huddlestone got injured taking a penalty 😂

Didn't someone else last season? or the season before?

Did he score ?

Yes, 2nd of October 2019 2-2 away at Barnsley.

Took the penalty and then went down clutching his hamstring, out for two months.

Darren Bent did in pre-season and never played for us again. 

[WystonRam]

8-0 win to us, forum in meltdown as only 7 were real shots.

Port vale are 4th place in the table, I'd settle foe that at thus time

Of course but I said they’re not doing “much” better than us. Don’t forget they’ve played an extra game to us. It’s obviously still early days and I’m sure they’re pleased with their start to the season but I’m not sure a draw at home against PV is quite the scalp you were implying.

                 Wildsmith

 Nyambe Nelson Cashin Fozzy

          Smith.         Fornah

Wilson     Sibley/Waggy.   Barks

                     Collo

Subs: Loach, Bradley, Elder, Robinson, NML, Washington, Waggy/Sibbo, 

Does Sibbo get the chance, or do we go with experience?

Think Barks deserves a start instead of Washington…

Forsooth being Fozzy’s even more Scottish cousin!

                 Wildsmith 

Nyambe Nelson Cashin Forsyth 

             Fornah Smith 

         NML Sibley Barkhuizen 

                   Collins 

Want to see Sibley in his actual position. Although I suspect he’ll be out wide again or dropped.
