Standing Alone 1877

I'm sorry for those that know. But for those that don't, the title is a play on the horrendous viral trend that has kids going 'six seven' in a silly voice and doing some weird thing with their hands. I reference that number because it's the first time in the Alex's history that they have finished a season on 67 points. They've finished on 66 points before. They've finished on 69(nice) points before. But never 67. So that's something I suppose. Here is my review of their 0-0

For the 2nd season in a row, the Alex end the season at home, against a side that has spent a large chunk of the season in the top 3 and is looking to seal automatic promotion on their pitch. However, the difference here is that unlike Walsall 12 months ago, who were hoping for Bradford to not win, Cambridge have promotion in their own hands. A win here and they are up, it's that simple. Will they get it or can the Alex spoil their promotion party? Here is my preview of the A

I haven't done one of these before. It's usually because by the time I've thought about writing one, the season has properly finished and no sooner has it finished than the club are releasing their retained list, transfers are already happening and it's too late. But with the Alex's season finishing in terms of promotion on Saturday, I figured I'd give it a crack. Too often we bemoan the fact the side weren't good enough to achieve promotion but fail to actually put together

I have a lot of stuff coming out once the season is officially over and done with next week. A 3 part season review, revisiting my end of season Alex predictions, the analysis of the Alex releasing their retained list. There is a lot. But I also want to look at my end of season grades for each Alex player, so I'm releasing that now so as not to get it lost in the middle of all the other things coming out. Yes, it only covers 45 games, but my opinion isn't likely to change bas

Well, if it's any consolation(which it isn't), I had a lovely drive over the peak district to get to and from this game. That's why I will never mind if the Alex play Chesterfield next season or in any future season. It doesn't make up for what was a disappointing performance and result for the Alex, nor does it make up for their painful limp to the finish line, but it was nice all the same. Here is my review of the Alex's final away defeat of the season: Competitive The Alex

I know there are far bigger talking points, but once again, the fixture gods have been smiling on the Alex a little bit by scheduling this game for the end of the season. A full house in a decent stadium, a nice drive over the Pennines if you are intending to travel that route to the game, beautiful weather. It could be a lot worse, regardless of the fact the game has nothing on the line for the Alex. Here is my preview of the final away game of the 25-26 season for them: Wha
