I can't see it improving, to be honest I think you will smash us out of sight, the team are all over the place at present they are not bad players but the tactics and formation are *!!"*"!!!

Eeerrrrrmmmm, we don't score many apart from a freak performance at Oldham. Expect it to be a tight game settled by no more than one goal.

Yes I did notice that SJ but we are really poor in defence at present we shall see, I think Harriott will be gone in January as his loan comes to an end, perhaps he is a player Brown will be interested in.

I said we should have taken Harriott at the start of the season, would be a great addition to our squad!
 
Very few do that SG because the club have stewards on most roads near to the stadium advising you not to park there but in reality they have no legal control over it. My advice would be to get there early and use one of the other car parks such as Rapid Electronics only £2 if you don't mind a 20 minute walk up Axial Way and United Way postcode CO4 5JS.

Thank you.

My reaction to a Colchester steward telling me not to park somewhere on the public highway where it is legal to do so is probably not printable on here! However, I may well take your advice and use Rapid Electronics anyway. Thanks again.

Ha ha I know what you mean mate but the club have to do it as part of the planning rules when they were given the opportunity to build the WHCS. There are car parks slightly further up Axial way on Easter park so less of a walk, use post code CO4 5WY but they normally charge £6.00
 
Why? We're not exactly prolific. This isn't a forgone conclusion by any stretch of the imagination.

We are nowhere near as goal shy as some on here make out either. Before Saturday there were 9 teams in the league that had scored less than us and we had scored the same as top of the league Burton (they have now scored 2 more but we have a game in hand). Of course it's no foregone conclusion but with their form it is the best chance I can remember of totally smashing them at their place and for that reason I am very excited about going there boxing day.

Worth also mentioning that goal shy Burton put 5 past them the other week and they have conceeded 17 in their last 5 games

Personally I think you need to manage your expectations. We may well win, but, as much as I would like it to be, I don't think it will be a total smashing.

That said, I'd take a 1-0 any day of the week, and twice on Boxing Day.

We have the potential to be very good but at present the team are struggling with confidence through conceding so many goals. Harriott will be close to playing his final game for us, Jamie Jones (Goalkeeper) will be gone unless his loan is extended, our main keeper Sam Walker has been out injured all season so I would think Elliot Parish may well be between the sticks on Boxing day. We have not been scoring as much recently but do have some very good forward players when they play to their full abilities. Owen Garvan makes a big difference, you guys should have signed him because he is a class act. He has been injured the last 6 games but should be back to face you guys.

It will all be about the 2nd goal, if we go 2-0 down our heads will drop if we go ahead and get another quickly you could be in trouble!
