Last year was a season of highs and lows for the U's. A new manager was appointed - John (Shaggy) Taylor - who helped them get all the way to Cardiff for the LDV final. Sadly all the feng shui didn't help and they lost to Blackpool 4-1. The U's just couldn't get that elusive away win and were doomed to relegation.

Will the U's perform better in Division 3? Can they spring back up straight away?

Dave Kitson - a great display and goal to celebrate your birthday. Keep it up, we owe Hartlepool one after the game on the 28th of December. Good luck for Saturday 25th January. Win or lose, I'll keep on supporting the U's.
Barry Moore, Cambridge

I would like to say that the U's played brilliantly on Saturday and we should of won. Shane Tudor and Tom Youngs played really well and Tudes deserved a goal. Bring on Millwall !!!
BM, Essex

Well !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boxing Day, The U's have gained a point playing Southend, and move into the top 3. Lets hope the recent successful results continue and we make a fight of it for automatic promotion. Fingers Crossed...........
Geoff, Cambridge

I don't think it would be good for CUFC to go up. Division 3 is our natural level, and we'd just come down again. It's much more fun in Div 3, as we can win a few games, and entertain fans much more than against better teams in Division 2 - we just all get depressed there.
Jim, Histon

Brings a smile to may face every Sunday morning when i check the U's results on the internet. Hard being on the other side of the world from the mighty U's, although i do get to watch the Auckland Kingz (they are worse than Peterboring!) Perhaps Shaggy and the lads can come over here for a pre-season friendly?
Nick Maltby, Auckland, New Zealand

You're all mad. The U's will prove all the critics wrong and bounce straight up into Div 2, as well as making it to at least the 5th round of the FA Cup, winning the LDV and our brilliant young players winning the Youth Cup! A bit of optimism dosen't hurt!
Oli, Cambridge

Great that Shane Tudoor has signed a new contract even though he will have moved on to a higher level well before it comes up for renewal. When was the last time United had a player that immediately creates a buzz in the ground whenever he gets the ball?

RE: Staying Alive - Football in Crisis (大象传媒 Radio Cambridgeshire, 20th November)

The overall message being sent out tonight is positive about the future of Cambridge United.听 However, unless we've missed something there is an underlying debt of 拢1.1m from last year and a probable loss of 拢600k this year.听 What if a player is not sold in January?听 Many clubs will have young and promising players available - supply may be greater than demand.听 It seems that the club is relying on an extremely uncertain event. 听 Has a new source of cash been found to cover the losses of last season and this?

The youngsters are doing O.K but they are still just that 'youngsters', maybe another couple of seasons and us super U's may get back to the glory days. Keep up the good work boys and I'll be there to support you in the playoffs just as I am every week.

DAVE KITSON IS MAGIC IF HE IS NOT SCORING GOALS HE MAKES THE GOALS FOR OTHERS DAVE YOUR TOP MAN .KEEP IT UP. PERHAPS OTHERS WILL FOLLOW YOUR WORK RATE.
BARRY MOORE, CAMBRIDGE

Mark (Nottingham) Well, thanks for dropping by the Abbey, as for the stand, well, I haven't built one personally, but there is now a new one, You can come and visit next season after we are promoted, unless of course you are going where we are now !!!!
Geoff, Cambridge

Maybe it is better for us to stay in Div 3 for a couple years wilst we build up this promising young team?
pelham, Cambridge

I'm a Notts County fan and I came to your ground last season. I wondered if you had built a new stand behind one of the goals as your ground looked awful last year. Good luck in your attempt to come straight back up.
Mark, Nottingham

Sorry. Jenny I agree with Dennis you are a girl and no nothing adout football long live shaggy.
PHIL, PETERBOROUGH

I think the signs are promising. Key players seem to be hitting top form and finding the net - Kitson, Riza, Youngs etc - and they actually want to play for Shaggy. Worrying signs like the first half at Southend urge caution, but I think we will probably go back up. Then, with no extra investment, we'll come straight back down again!
Tim, Cambridge

Can you tell me what game your reporter was watching vs Orient.How can they have just about deserved the win when your goalkeeper was made man of the match.Biased reporting just deludes the average supporter into thinking their team is better than they are.
Paul Watts, Peterborough

It could be worse ,you could be supporting leicester city.its going to be a hard season 4 us to get back up especially now as everyone is up for sale
Daimien, melton mowbray.porkpie.com.

We'll make the play-offs at least this season and with Omar, Armand and Dave upfront supported by Tom we've got a front line to be jealous of, our defense aint bad either... COME ON YOU U'S!!!!

Not a chance of returning to Division 2! Although judging by the start to our season, we'll be joining you down there!
Samantha Arnold, Peterborough

The only way the U's will get back up to Division 2 is with 拢拢拢 which is something they do not have. Doomed for Division 3 and if not... the Nationwide Conference beckons.
Ben, Cambridge

why don't you just sell all the players and give the money to the hiomeless you should atleast get a couple of pound for the whole team.
Seb Bloom, Cambs

Jenny are you on something. WE LOVE SHAGGY. p.s i may live in Boro but i'm Cambridge through and through.
Dennis, P/boro

Not an intelligent comment from Huntingdon
Andy Tunnicliffe, Fen Drayton

Win or lose support the U's!
Barry, Cambridge

I hope they survive the season!!!! especially after the demise of ITV Digital. I wish the U's Good Luck for the forthcoming season and indeed for the future.
Geoff, Cambridge

Do you think we'll get an away win this season?
Ben, Cambridge

What is that Jenny Gunn on about? Shaggy's a great bloke and I love his dog Scooby, too.
Katy Lewis, St Albans

Get rid of that Shaggy chap and bring in someone who can get us back into Division Two.
