'Chopper' Harris admits that he is in for 'a really tough game' against Charlton at the Abbey 'Stadium' tomorrow. The home side are unbeaten in their last four games, albeit three of them have been draws and are still engaged in a fight against relegation. At home this season they have won just five games, drawn six and lost nine. However, they have been relatively tight defensively.
Last week they won 1-0 at bottom club Shrewsbury. Salop's finest have lost Gareth Ainsworth as their manager and have seen an American takeover run into the sands because of unspecified legal problems. Michael Appleton is now in charge. For Cambridge it was their first win in seven.
I had this down as a 1-1 draw at the beginning of the season and I would say that a draw is the most likely result. The moaners were already crawling out from beneath their stones last week and an away point will certainly see Nathan Jones criticised for his team selection, formation and substitutions.
Of course, the confirmation of the club's basket case finances makes promotion even more imperative. The extra revenues in the Championship would be offset by extra costs, but we might become more attractive to investors with really serious money.
CAS Trust point out that three of our five remaining games are away from home, two of them tough tests against promotion rivals: https://www.castrust.org/2025/04/opposites-attract/
