Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Just to prove that some things never change in football:

Jimmy Quinn, June 6th 2008: “There are loads of players about and there’s no rush to bring people in(…)there are plenty of players who want to come here and well make sure we pick the right ones.”

Gary Brabin, July 29th 2008: “We’re looking at a number of situations and you’ve just got to be patient and wait for the right players to come along.”

Great minds think alike eh? Actually in this case they look a bit alike too, and indeed if Jimmy got himself down the gym and bulked up a bit, they could probably pass for the scariest set of brothers since WWE's Cain and the Undertaker.

Given the vastly difference in the situation at the club then and now (ie. that we now have some players) I’m not too concerned that the Brabinator is repeating Jimmy’s old rhetoric, but we could do with at least a couple of new faces before the Northwich game.

On that note, the latest contestant lined up for the coveted “third best striker in the Cambridge squad” prize is apparently Ipswich’s Billy Clarke. I’ll confess to knowing nothing about this player, but you would hope that he hasn’t amassed more than 50 appearances in the Championship without possessing some talent. Danny Webb’s continual employment at a relatively high level of football is the exception to this rule perhaps.

Meanwhile, mssrs Jardim, Hutchinson, and Rouse are set to get another chance to impress in tonight’s match with West Ham. Based on Saturday’s showing, the latter pair will need to up their games considerably if they want to stick around beyond the end of the cricket season.
