Under The Abbey Stand

Could Easter be the weekend that United are confirmed as a League Two football team next season? Unless something quite remarkable happens, that’s what it feels like is on the horizon. For such a cheery preview, we’ve got not one but two games to look forward to, a trip to Yorkshire to face an out-of-sorts Huddersfield, and then a visit to the Abbey from high-flying Orient. Caspell and Tom were on...

Another long Saturday spent at the Cledara as Cambridge United limped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Charlton Athletic. Jordan and Swindle sit down to analyse the game, talk about United’s many shortcomings this season and what it’s like to have a player with an eye for goal.

United “welcome” Charlton Athletic to the Abbey on Saturday, knowing that anything other than all 3 points could signal the end of our time in League One. Caspell and Swindle talk the potential return of Sulley Kaikai and the goalkeeping hot-take, as well as featuring a preview from Charlton Live. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits me...

It might not have been particularly pretty, but it was a rare occasion where the U’s actually got the job done up in Shropshire. Tom and Jord are in a more cautiously optimistic mood as they assess if there’s the faintest glimmer of hope going into the final five games. Whisper it very, very quietly… We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits...

Saturday sees the U’s travel to managerless Shrewsbury in a game that essentially boils down to, who’s going to finish bottom of the league? Swindle and Matt try and answer that question, while taking a look back at Tuesday night’s eventful 2-2 draw with Wrexham.

It was Even Stevens on Saturday as United can’t get past Northampton and have to settle with a 1-1 draw. It’ll be a month to the day since Harris’ last win, and the panel discuss what he did well and badly on Saturday, and how he can learn from that against Wrexham on Tuesday night, featuring an opposition interview with the Fearless In Devotion podcast. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Str...

The pod looks ahead to our last local game of the season, hoping there’s still a bit of pride on the line to motivate the players and get us back to winning ways. But on the panel, it’s eels, universities and quiz shows that are taking up Jules and Jack’s agenda in an attempt to not have to talk about United. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer an...

A season of lows continues, as the U’s concede a last-gasp equaliser in the pouring rain at Barnsley. There’s a Brophy goal to talk about, but enthusiasm for the rest of the season is low at UTAS towers, as Tom and Jord drew the short straws to take on the Review pod. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambr...

Back on the road on Saturday as the U’s look to put a run of four defeats behind them up at Barnsley.

United fall to a second derby day defeat at the hands of that lot up the road on a weekend where we now find ourselves 13 points off safety, capping off a miserable, miserable season. Jules, Tom and Caspell begrudgingly get the mics out to sum up their feelings.

There might be 10 games left on the fixture list, but realistically there’s only one more that really matters.

It’s hard to think how Saturday’s afternoon at Wigan could have got any worse. A 1-0 defeat means we’re now 10 points off safety, as all the teams above the line win and all bar one below it lose. Tom and Jord are on this week’s pod to look back at a damaging day for the whole relegation battle, and touch on the big documentary news from this week. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Ce...

The fist pumps are back. And better than ever. The Neil Harris era 2.0 got off to a flyer on Saturday, with two Josh Stokes goals giving the U’s three valuable points. Tom and Jord look over the win and if they have any hope of Harris pulling off the greatest Great Escape yet.

Nothing much to talk about on today’s Preview Show. It’s been a really quiet week, just the two ex-managers returning in a joint announcement, one as manager, one as Director of Football, and on Thursday taking a joint presser ahead of the Stockport game. Perfectly normal stuff. Tom and Jack take stock of a wild 24 hours and look ahead to Saturday’s game against high-flying opposition. We’re delig...

Bonner back?! Harris back?! Both announced at the same time?!?! What a chaotic week it’s been at United, and the vibes are extremely high at UTAS HQ as THE WHOLE POD get together for what is a wonderfully chaotic first look at our new (old) manager and new (old manager) Director of Football. Or something like that anyway. If you’re new here, please do subscribe to receive every Monday and Thursday...

EMERGENCY POD: The Garry Monk era is over. And it’s not one that will be looked back on with a lot of fondness. It’s been a big week of change at United, with manager Monk following Director of Football Strang out of the door. Was it the right decision? Was the timing right? And where do we go from here? All these questions and more are tackled by Jordan and Julian We’re delighted to be sponsored...

What went from a run of the mill preview show was quickly put into overdrive, as we bring you our first thoughts on Ben Strang’s departure, a look back at Birmingham on Tuesday night, and a preview of a six-pointer at the Abbey as Exeter come to town, with United desperate to take all three.

While United pick up a point on the road, the relegation battle continues to heat up around us, and we’re just about managing to keep touch. With a trip to league leaders Birmingham on Tuesday, might that point be even more important? Tom, Swindle and Caspell are on the panel this week, joined by Sam from Blues Focus to look ahead to Tuesday night. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Ce...

The end of January might mark the end of dry Jan for some (head to King Street Cellar, of course) but it also marks the end of the transfer window. Tom and Jord are here to cast their eyes on the U’s business, before looking ahead to Saturday’s game at Lincoln with the help of Jake from Here For The Lincoln podcast. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine,...

Another eventful afternoon at the Abbey, and another afternoon where it felt like it could’ve been so much more. United take a point against high-flying Wycombe, but with results elsewhere they take a step backwards and find themselves 8 points adrift. Tom and Jules are on hand to review the weekend. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits...

Another Tuesday, another defeat. In that respect, it really is the same old story. But as we welcome high-flying Wycombe with top scorer Richard Kone, can we change the next chapter and grab another three points in a relegation fight we desperately need to keep in touch with? On this week’s Preview Show, Tom and Jord look back at Tuesday and preview the visit of the Chairboys. We’re delighted to b...

Ah, that three point feeling. It’s been a while. United hold out to take all three points at the Abbey against Mansfield, and there’s plenty of talking points including Stokes’ mercurial display, Rossi’s rash challenge, and LOFTTYYYYYYYYY.
