Rubbish. Cambridge thoroughly deserved their home win.
When Rovers were not poor they were boring.
Expect far better next week.

What a frustrating game we really need a good number 9 Loft just isn't up to it. So we’re blaming Loft for that are we? Jesus wept I need a holiday! Get over it sh** happens they sussed us out and we were just too naive to counter it, get used it, this is going to happen a lot! We need to learn and move on UTG!

Game was crying out for a physical presence right from the start. Was too easy for the Cambridge defence. We better man up when we play the likes of Stevenage etc..

Ha ha ha - we just recorded our first loss out of 4 games - 4 f**king games - and already pearls are being tightly clutched, tears are being shed into recycled paper cups of alcohol-free, sugar-free, happiness-free plant-based fake beer, hair is being pulled out, ashes are being thrown over sackcloths, and the whips are being readied for an extended bout of self-flagellation. We lost to a side that actually weren’t better than us, but who had a game plan designed to nullify our attacking threats; and we simply didn’t adapt and overcome. Sh*t happens. On to the next game.

I actually thought Loft was an improvement when he came on. I know that’s not the trendy opinion atm.

The one bit I really can't understand is that Barton said exactly how Cambridge like to play in the build up interview and yet we seemed completely unprepared for it.

Get the board out. They don’t know what they’re doing. Not fit to wear the shirt. Etc. Agree get over it. We need to improve, and we aren’t the finished article… but we’ve got a great deal of talent in this squad and all the tools to become a success.

Strange game, as 0-0 as you could wish to see. We didn’t deserve anything but then I didn’t think they deserved anything either.
Fine margins in tight games, big John and Collins blew it. Roll on Wycombe to right todays wrong.

A day or so ago everyone was wetting themselves because of the quality of the signings we’ve made so far, now we’re apparently in a potential relegation fight! Makes I laff, it really does.

I haven't seen the game or heard sny reports but looking at some of the comments it doesn't look as if we've turned up today. What I would say is that we weren't champions elect after the first 3 games and we aren't now useless after today. 4 games in certainly plenty to work on and hopefully a statement signing to come. 1 bad performance, no reason to panic and write people off

Roll on Wycombe to right todays wrong. Indeed - at least with cheaty Wycscum we’re probably guaranteed at least 90 minutes of extra time . . .

They deserved to win, a very compact formation on a tight pitch and played it well. Learn from it ,which i think we will and on to the next game.

Disappointing, probably got what we deserved, just seen Cambridge are top of the league, proves there are no easy matches these days if you’re not on your game. But to be fair we’ve had 3 away games out of our opening 4 fixtures , hopefully when it evens out over the next couple of matches we will have a clearer picture of where we are.

Spot on, because our wonderful home results so far this year, should fill us all with so much confidence.

Note to self. Don't upset the natives. Or perhaps just stop the anti Barton agenda as most of us find it boring. There isn't one

Awful. Bloody awful. Lol at promotion. Can’t beat Cambridge united. Fk these guys lol Cambridge are now top, there’s been far too much disrespect towards them. They were much better than us today. That was a big reality check for us. Too many assuming we were suddenly a top six team. Went into panic mode at 1-0 down and started pumping long balls to nobody. Cambridge have been non league most of my life and we’ve had loads of money spent.

The reality check we probably needed. think it is going to take a while for us to settle on our first 11, folk see it's Cambridge and think 'easier', But they could well turn out to be contenders , disappointing performance but not a surprise, on we go , these things happen from time to time but they do not happen often to title challengers.
