| Former U's 13:45 - Feb 26 with 6296 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.

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]

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! | |

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 4183 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:
Rangers 0-2 St. Mirren
Rangers' turbulent campaign took another lurch downwards as St Mirren won in Glasgow to record back-to-back victories over the Ibrox club for the first time since the 1979-80 season.
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. | |

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. |  |

Last nights one nil victory for St Johnstone over Ross County featured former loanee Zak Mitchell and former player Drey Wright. |  |

Whilst applauding that Matt Macey is no. 2 in the league for clean sheets, it would be churlish not to mention that former U's 'keeper Owen Goodman is no. 1. | |

...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. |  |

Not sure that it is fair to compare Mandron with Anderson, as they are 2 completely different players that play in different positions, don't they? Mandron or Taylor is a fairer debate surely.
Anderson seems to be getting a fair bit of stick on here and social media recently and I'm not sure why??? Is it because Hopper has left?
Let's get behind all of the Current U's players as well as keeping an eye on the Former U's ay!  | |

I have to agree, Anderson is a pretty solid player as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't have the pace of Edwards on the other side, but I don't get why he gets the hate. Maybe as you said, he's the next target after Tom Hopper left? Who wasn't a bad footballer btw. | |

Joe Taylor might be back tomorrow. Huddersfield and Michael Duff need him to get their season back on track. | | | |

Big-hearted Frank Nouble scored the second as Yeovil fought back against the ‘weed to go 2-1 in front. Sadly, the game finished 2-2 with a Southend equaliser deep in added time. | |

Braintree Town 1-0 Eastleigh
Eastleigh's play-off hopes were dented after a 1-0 defeat at lowly Braintree.
Marley Marshall-Miranda's third-minute goal condemned the visitors to a first loss in five matches.
John Akinde's effort was blocked but the ball fell to Marshall-Miranda, whose first-time shot crashed in off the crossbar.
Braintree finished the match with 10 men after Ryan Clampin was shown a second yellow card eight minutes from time.
R. Clampin started but then sent off at 82'
M. Marshall-Miranda played full 90' and scored :D
C. Cooper came on as sub after 79'
J. Akinde played full 90'
A. Judge unused sub.
R. Brindley played 62' for Eastleigh before being subbed off. | |

Matt Jay managed an assist and a goal as Torquay squandered a two goal lead for the second time in eight days. Three goals in three for Jay though. | |

I didn’t realise until checking, the current clean sheet ranking is Goodman (17), Macey (15) and Sam Walker (13). We must have a good eye for goalkeepers. | |
