New Season, New Start
Cambridge United vs Northwich Victoria
Well after all the waiting it is finally here, the new season kicks off tomorrow with a massive air of optimism around the Abbey Stadium. This week has been a good week for the club. A new chairman has been appointed, the rent has been paid for the next three years and our pre-season has gone very well. So how will they get on tomorrow.
Cambridge are traditionally slow starters to the season, and they face a tough opener against Northwich. Northwich are a promoted team and will be keen to stamp their mark on this season. Cambridge will need to come out all guns blazing, there is no room for excuses like last year, it has to be a good solid start. There have been a lot of changes to the team that finished strongly at the end of last season. Steve Smith will make his debut at right back, and Andy Duncan will be missing, but this will be a stronger team than started last year.
The key to everything this season will be have we got the twenty goal a season striker we need to sustain the promotion push. We have three new strikers none of whom have delivered at this level. With Brady and Pitt on the wings the service will be there it will all be down to them to put them away. In tandem with this the defence will need to make sure they do not get bullied by some of the larger strikers in the league. If these things work we'll do well, if they don't its back to eleventh place for us.
