    Another wild ball from Asiimwe into the box, goes harmlessly out for a Goal Kick - He's got so much potential going forward, and wondered if he could be a dark horse for staying with the team before Pre-Season

    But on this showing, he could definitely do with a League One loan.

    Anderson however is almost dictating things in Midfield.

    I think Carey & Olaofe will be starters against Watford.

    Asiimwe getting lots of space and attacking well but his final ball has been poor, sort of thing a decent loan should fix though 
    Been to the Thierry small school of crossing by the looks of things

    Think we may need a second to make sure, can see this lot getting a fluky goal if we don't keep it tight up top...
    Result is meaningless in those games. It's all about getting minutes into legs & hopefully building up partnerships on the pitch.

    Anderson tried to turn in midfield, and got easily dispossessed

    Plenty of time to deal with it, but scrappy defending

    That's ok, looks like they've given the goal to us instead anyway

    but performances are not meaningless.

    Anderson and getting caught on the ball.

    Name a more iconic duo.

    Anderson lost the ball deep in midfield which lead to the goal, the sort of mistake he needs to cut out.

    Anderson needing to go down on that turn as the Cambridge players hands were all over him. If you’re playing for the FK you have to actually go for it

    Shame as until then Anderson, had played some really decent Football since coming on.

    Now they've changed it.  Rotten bastards.

    Already looks like the fresh legs will be an advantage here
    Can we play 60/30 every league game with 10 subs 😁

    Chelsea and Man City think that's a great idea with the size of their squads.

    Good interplay between the young Mitchell and Asiimwe who gets a cross in but doesn’t beat the first man

    Maybe keep the Battleship moored up FA, but keep the engines running...

    Bennett (trialist B ) does well to win a throw

    He then does well to cut out a cross following a FK when Carey had fallen asleep
