Nothing much to talk about on today’s Preview Show. It’s been a really quiet week, just the two ex-managers returning in a joint announcement, one as manager, one as Director of Football, and on Thursday taking a joint presser ahead of the Stockport game. Perfectly normal stuff. Tom and Jack take stock of a wild 24 hours and look ahead to Saturday’s game against high-flying opposition.We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.

It was so nearly a perfect afternoon in the North West, as the U’s battled well and were just a handful of minutes away from taking all three points at Bolton.
