The U’s have had a difficult start to the season, having slipped from just below mid-table, to the very bottom of the pile in recent weeks. This prompted the dismissal of Frenchman Herve Renard, who won just four games in 25 matches. Last week, former Lincoln and Sheffield United manager Steve Thompson (left) was appointed as manager and although he has lost his first two games - a 5-3 defeat to Yeovil and a 1-0 loss to Boston, there has been an improvement in United’s performances. Although Town will hope that they will not turn the corner just yet...
The U’s longest serving player is Andy Duncan, a £20,000 buy from Manchester United in the late 1990s. Duncan has started 20 games at the heart of the Cambridge defence, and will be vital in their fight against relegation. Back in favour after a spell out on loan at Accrington Stanley is former Lincoln and Macclesfield left back Stuart Bimson. Another former Lincoln player is Justin Walker (left), who also had spell with Scunthorpe United. He was suspended for a spell last season along with current Mariner Terry Fleming for a "breach of club discipline", but is now firmly back in the picture, making 20 appearances this term. Amadou Konte had a trial with the Mariners in the summer, but joined up with Cambridge in October. The 6 foot 3 striker, from Mali, has struck three goals in six starts since making his debut away at Cheltenham.
Jermaine Easter (left). The Cambridge number 8 joined the U’s last year after spells at Hartlepool and Wolves. An exciting player with plenty of pace, Easter has scored seven goals in 13 starts and is a real threat for any defence in the division, despite some indifferent performances this season.

Town got their first away victory of the season when they beat Cambridge 2-0 at the Abbey Stadium at the end of September. Goals from Andy Parkinson and a first for several years by John McDermott secured all three points for Town in a fairly dull affair down south.
