For the third time this season, the U's face Fleetwood this weekend, with a third man in the dugout.

FA Cup fever hasn't quite caught on this weekend as an injury-depleted U's without a recognised striker get ready to head to the North West to face a seemingly equally unenthusiastic Blackburn side.
