Match

Cambridge United bow out of the cup

Plymouth Argyle go through and Cambridge United go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

Enock Agyei runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Jackson Morby hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Cambridge United can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Squad

Tempers go at Cambridge United

Louis Appéré was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

“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.

Player ratings

Louis Appéré was the difference for Cambridge United

Marked 7.44. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Match

Point won or two lost for Cambridge United?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Bristol Rovers? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

In brief
