Player ratings

Vernon Masara scores twice — 8.56

Two goals and a mark of 8.56 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets

Cambridge United agree $2.3M for John Cooper

The clubs have shaken hands with Chelsea; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Denis Čavlek puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cambridge United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The run is over for Cambridge United

11 matches without defeat, and then Mansfield Town. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Market

Jack Murray has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Cambridge United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

A falling-out at Cambridge United

Luca Fong and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Stevenage tell Cambridge United: Kosta Nedeljković is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Cambridge United see off Oldham Athletic

Three points for Cambridge United, 2‑0 the final word against Oldham Athletic in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

Frank Tattum gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
