Cambridge United’s defeat on Saturday was only their second in 12 League One matches this season. They’re three points off an automatic promotion place. And still they could be doing better. The fact that such a statement can be made should say everything about where the team is under Neil Harris.
“We did score two goals and we are scoring goals at the moment. I have to appreciate that and I do appreciate that, but it’s hard to really focus on that when we’ve not got at least a point out of the game today,” Harris said afterwards, United having scored two but conceded three in a gripping home loss to Plymouth Argyle.
Harris and his Standards must naturally always expect more, and both the nature and the quantity of the goals being conceded is an obvious concern, but it’s important to take stock of the bigger picture. Throw in the fact that Saturday was a superb spectacle to watch, can fans have been too downhearted when they headed home to dry off at 5 o’clock?
