Former U's 13:45 - Feb 26 with 395 views | RSCOSWORTH | We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them. Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0. https://youtube.com/shorts/xl29_SKGGEA?si=rUZN5ZOwqYouYha_ Jay also got the equaliser away at Weston-super-Mare last night. Hopefully he's starting to enjoy his football again. [Post edited 26 Feb 13:55]

Former U's on 22:01 - Feb 26 with 241 views | ghughes11 | I try to track and update some of our former players on the Official CUFC Messageboard ( http://www.cu-fcchat.com/viewforum.php?f=29), but happy to copy and paste them into here too: Junior Tchamadeu: Definitely getting more game time in his 2nd season with Stoke. According to Wiki: Season League A G FA FAG LC LCG TA TG 2023–24 Championship 15 0 0 0 0 0 15 0 2024–25 Championship 29 0 2 0 2 0 33 0 Total 44 0 2 0 2 0 48 0 A - Appearances G - Goals FA - FA Cup Appearances FAG - FA Cup Goals LC - League Cup Appearances LCG - League Cup Goals TA - Total Appearances TG - Total Goals PS. Sorry for the dodgy table above - it looked good in when I was drawing it up but now looks awful in the Preview! |  |

Former U's on 22:02 - Feb 26 with 233 views | ghughes11 | Noah Chilvers: Ross County climbed within two points of the Scottish Premiership top six - and five clear of second-bottom Dundee - with their first home win since November. "Hale springing Phillips down the right and he squared for Noah Chilvers to bullet home first-time, marking his 24th birthday with a goal." A. Donnelly came on as a 24' sub - obviously didn't help! |  |

Former U's on 22:03 - Feb 26 with 229 views | ghughes11 | Frank Nouble: Maidenhead United 0-2 Yeovil Town Frank Nouble and Harvey Greenslade fired Yeovil to a comfortable win over a Maidenhead side who remain in relegation trouble in the National League |  |

Former U's on 22:04 - Feb 26 with 222 views | ghughes11 | Braintree Boys: John Akinde earned Braintree a precious point in their fight against relegation as they drew 1-1 at Sutton. Akinde levelled three minutes later following a mix-up in the home defence, with the veteran striker rounding Sims and slotting into an empty net. Akinde had a header tipped over by Sims and sent another off target but neither side could find a winner, with Sutton's Besart Topalloj sent off late on after clashing with Chay Cooper. R. Clampin played full 90' M. Marshall-Miranda played full 90' J. Akinde played full 90' C. Cooper came on as a sub at 80' |  |

Mikael Mandron fired in on 51 minutes, celebrating exuberantly after his initially disallowed strike was eventually awarded by referee Kevin Clancy after consulting the monitor. |  |

Wed 26 Feb 2025 Hearts 3-1 St. Mirren Hearts leapfrogged St Mirren to move into the Scottish Premiership top six for the first time since August as they came from behind to beat the Paisley side at Tynecastle. St Mirren had gone ahead through the only real chance of the first half, when Mikael Mandron capitalised on a loose ball in the box to fire home. No sign of Kent - haven't seen his name in the Hearts line up for a while now - must be injured as he was a regular at the start of the season.... :think: |  |

Frankie Kent is injured. Ruptured his quad playing against Copenhagen in December, and is likely to be out for some time. |  |

...and of course Noah Chilvers on the losing side, though he was subbed a minute before St Johnstone scored the winning goal. |  |

I go on about him too much but he was the most technically skilled and aware forward I've seen at the U's for a long time. He was misused and would be particularly effective now under this management because he's a far more talented player than Anderson. He's scored frequently at Love Street and been a regular goal assist. Good luck to the lad, he's probably earning better than in Essex anyway. Loved his two goals at Swindon a few years back. A more talented John Froggatt. |  |
