Grant's release clause was agreed in a very specific set of circumstances. This will not be an issue.

Will we be the penultimate game again tonight on Quest? They don't seem to like us a lot, particularly the big bald headed striker who had more clubs than goals. Git.

I’ve waited 43 years to smash 5 goals away from home, past a side wearing Amber & Black in the 3rd Tier … sublime stuff at times Imps

It was a return to our better performances of the first half of last season, and back then as well we were very good at turning over the sides in the lower half of the table, something that our rivals weren't always so good at.
There should be some caveats, though. I didn't think we were very good in defence. We were easily panicked when the ball came into our area and there were quite a few occasions too where nobody closed down someone in a shooting position quickly enough. The former led to a fair few last-ditch blocks which you wouldn't expect from a side that had won 5-1. Their consolation goal was typical of something that could have happened several times.
This was the case when it was 1-0 and it was still happening at 5-1. At one point late in the game Montsma tore McGrandles off a strip for not tracking a runner. Fortunately he wandered offside but Montsma was right, the Cambridge midfielder found himself in too much space too easily.
I don't know why this is. Our defenders are pretty much the same as last season, the only change today was Robson, who is experienced and had a decent debut despite having to play against a team in amber and black, confusingly for him. The midfield still includes Bridcutt and McGrandles.
The game, though, was the reverse of our last outing at Oxford when we got taken to the cleaners in the first half. We looked a level above Cambridge today but they were pretty game. I was thinking it was a bit like Northampton away last season with the early goal, but Cambridge looked a better side than Northampton did.
Fingers crossed we can keep the best of this up with such a hard game this Tuesday.
