Davies gave United  [ more ]

For the second time this season United beat the fourth division leaders 2-1 at the Kas. In January it was Yeovil, this time round it was Southend, and both times the victory was fully deserved.

Top of the table Southend visit the KasStad tomorrow, with rumours of them possibly bringing up to 1800 supporters as they try to consolidate their position.

All of the Hatters’ goals came in the first half, from Enoch Showunmi, Michael Leary, Calvin Andrew and Danny Stevens, who scored two. United pulled a goal back through Craig Davies late  [ more ]

Notts County showed today that Oxford aren’t the only side with an uncanny knack of throwing away apparent victories. United were trailing to a first-half goal by the Magpies’ Julien Baudet, who headed home unmarked from a cross after 28 minutes. Then, with quarter of an hour remaining, Paul Bolland palmed away a Chris Hackett  [ more ]
