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.
0.92 points per game and even more shockingly 0.79 goals scored per game. He only got two points less than Garner though (they both managed 24 league games) but I thought we were such a better team under Garner and felt he was a bit unlucky to get sacked.
Yes I agree, BG should have been given more backing to bring in the players he wanted and was far better than Mullins who was basically a 'yes man' for the upper management. Anyway, its up to the Exiles who they appoint but I can't see it ending well for them...
Mullins takes over at Newport Former Crystal Palace, West Ham and Portsmouth midfielder Hayden Mullins has been appointed manager of League Two side Newport. He replaces Christian Fuchs who resigned in June. The 47-year-old's last job in senior club management came between March 2021 and January 2022, when he was in charge at Colchester.
Derby County have re-signed forward Sam Szmodics on a season-long loan from Ipswich Town.
The 30-year-old's latest move to Pride Park, however, comes with an obligation for the Rams to buy the Republic of Ireland international at the end of the 2026-27 campaign.
BBC Radio Derby understands the obligation to buy is appearance-based and the fee will be in the region of £2.7m.
"St Kitts and Nevis international Simpson is an Ipswich Town academy product but has, since leaving Portman Road, had permanent spells with Huddersfield Town and Stevenage as well as loan spells at Swindon Town, Northampton Town and Colchester United.
He missed all of last term injured, having suffered a ruptured Achilles in pre-season, as Stevenage reached the League One play-offs and he was among seven senior players to leave the club at the end of their contracts."
Mikael Mandron will join Stevenage on a two-year contract after leaving St Mirren, the 31-year-old striker's switch to Oxford United having collapsed following their transfer embargo.
"Altogether, he scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists last season.
That was Mandron's third season at St Mirren Park, after a nomadic senior career spent at Sunderland, Eastleigh, Wigan Athletic, Colchester United, Gillingham, Crewe Alexandra and Motherwell, before he joined St Mirren in 2023."
Falkirk Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Finley Barbrook from Ipswich Town on a season-long loan, subject to SFA and international clearance.
Blackburn squeezed through to round two of the Carabao Cup as late goals from substitutes Andri Gudjohnsen and Jayden Fevrier sealed a comeback win over League One Burton.

scores a volley from 30 yards out in first-half stoppage time in Derby's 1-2 defeat in the Carabao Cup to Lincoln City
Alex Newby scores one and provides the assist for the winner to mark York City's return to the football league, with Arthur Read coming off the bench in the second half. Steve Evans not happy.
Araujo signs for Burton! Three year deal! Bloody Burton! Surely we were in a better position to sign him than Burton? I expected him to be on loan at a Championship club or towards the top of League One at the worst this season. Genuinely shocked by this. You watch Burton sell him for £10 million within a year or two!

Disappointing it would appear we could not compete with Burton Albion
Lots to consider, but the two biggest factors must be a level up from two previous season loans and agents. And the U’s …..a club on the market, in survival mode with no promotion for two decades, does not look good for a club CV.
