Potter stumped by U's poor form

Potter has been with the U's since joining from Stevenage in 2007

Cambridge United goalkeeper Danny Potter is at a loss to explain why results have gone against his side in recent matches.

The U's have failed to win in their last three games, going out of both the Setanta Shield and the FA Cup.

Potter told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "We got off to a fantastic start this season, and we've looked to build.

"We've been going into games very positively, but for some reason or another it hasn't been happening."

The U's travel to Crawley on Saturday, looking to get back into the Blue Square Premier play-offs.

Gary Brabin's side won their first four league matches of the season, but have only taken 18 points from the following 13 games.

Potter, who has missed only one match for the U's this term, admits it is time the club had another decent run.

"Now's the time to go on a four-game winning run, because we haven't had that yet," Potter said.

"There's always pressure at a club like this, it's a massive club, but as a player you've got to thrive on that pressure."

Despite their recent poor form, the U's remain in contention for promotion, and Potter is trying to look to the positives.

"I don't think we've played fantastically well all season, yet we're still in seventh place, four points off top," he said.
