Under The Abbey Stand

It’s hard to think how Saturday’s afternoon at Wigan could have got any worse. A 1-0 defeat means we’re now 10 points off safety, as all the teams above the line win and all bar one below it lose. Tom and Jord are on this week’s pod to look back at a damaging day for the whole relegation battle, and touch on the big documentary news from this week.We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.

The unthinkable happened. Not four wins on the bounce, not even four clean sheets on the bounce, but James Brophy scored a goal. There probably couldn’t have been a more popular goalscorer at Woking on Saturday than Brophy as he confirmed United’s passage to the second round of the FA Cup, and the pod get together to discuss the game and, more importantly, the goalscorer.We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.

After a perfect week in the league, the U’s turn their attentions to the FA Cup First Round, with a tie against non-league Woking.

The. Perfect. Week. Three wins, three clean sheets, and three games that might have saved our season. United beat Burton in a scrappy affair, but no one cares, as Jordan Cousins smashed home from close range to secure another vital three points. Tom and Caspell are on a two-man review pod this week to chat through that game and a week that couldn’t have gone any better.

We’ve got something slightly different for the second mailbag of the season. You might have noticed our new monthly column for this season ‘Get Your Stats Right’, written by the brilliant Ben Griffis, a United fan based over in Washington DC. We thought we’d get to know Ben a bit better and invited him on a podcast to talk about all the data and numbers behind the U’s including: how well has Nlundulu performed so far? Will Korey Smith’s numbers improve? And what hope do the underlying numbers give United’s survival chances?If you want to check out Ben’s models and play around to find your own interesting stats to back up a theory, you can find him at:https://football-match-reports.streamlit.app/https://bengriffis.com/https://x.com/begriffisIf you’d like to submit a question for the next mailbag, get in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and Under The Abbey StandEmail: [email protected]’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.
