Our defence looks weak and we’re completely out of ideas in attack.
is that just a guess?Quote:

The only benefit of a BCD game (that I can think of) is the lower cost. Is there anything else? Surely they could tell us what's happening or what the team is; there's not even a twitter feed. Is the game the entertainment for a super rich Arab on a stag do?
Cambridge United kicked-off their mini pre-season camp in South Wales on Thursday morning, braving the rain during a training session at the Football Association of Wales headquarters...
The U’s will take on Cardiff City in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Friday, before heading back to Cambridge over the weekend.
So it's being played in South Wales. On one of the pitches at The Vale maybe?
It's either in the building or on the grass.Quote:

They’ve come here for training for the past two years, so it was always likely to be a “Home” game - reckon the Vale has to be favourite when it comes to a venue.Quote:

Maybe we are just keeping our sexy footballing masterclass a secret for a couple more weeks.
I don't know if it's my age, but I thought that I read somewhere that it's taking place in Newport.
Did anyone get a drone over and know the score?
Is this the first time we’ve never had a home friendly?

That’s a good couple of results as it shows a bit more squad depth than some critics (myself included) thought we had - assuming everyone in the squad only played in one of the games.Quote:
