Well, I was truly amazed to look at the League Two table and saw Grimsby Town in 7th position; 16 games played and 25 points. We of course have 14 points from 15 games and languish in 21st. David Artell is working wonders with the Mariners.
Also, for the first time since I don’t know when I’m not travelling to Cleethorpes and so will miss out on Gerry’s company and Papas fish n chips.
A combination of Sky TV, impending weather, babysitting duties means that I will watch another game on Sky.
The all-important weather forecast suggests 10 degrees Celsius, light rain and occasional snow showers. Not pleasant.
Also, Grimsby had a number of outdoor Christmas festivities planned but have had to either postpone them or move them indoors. Storm Bert has put paid to some of these activities. All in all, very sad indeed.
So, for those faithful CUSA members and others safe journey and I hope you enjoy the game. I’m going for a 2-1 Colchester victory with Tovide and Taylor on the scoresheet.
DC will be looking to field a strong team in order to secure that elusive Away win.
Sad news from Peterboro where Bradley Ihionvien faces two months on the sidelines following a freak injury and a bone growing where it apparently shouldn’t be. Get well soon Bradley.
We have also drawn Wimbledon in the BSM knock out stage. A chance for revenge after the opening day defeat.
So how bold will DC be on a shocking day weatherwise in Lincolnshire.
If they are all fit then let’s line up something like this:
Macey
Egbo Goodliffe Donnelly Iandolo
Thorn McDonnell Payne Edwards
Tovide Taylor
Subs
Smith Flanagan Hopper Anderson Read Gordon Woodyard
Safe journey to the travelling faithful.
Enjoy the game.
Up the U’s

Grimsby FC tweeted about 20 minutes ago that despite the rain the game was still looking like it would be on. Fingers crossed for the travelling faithful, most of whom will be virtually there by now. |  |

"Looking like it would be on" is not good enough for travelling supporters. It takes me 30 minutes to get to Grimsby from home!!!  |  | | |

Can’t be there today, but Grimsby is one of my favorite grounds.
The ground is shite, the view is shite, Cleethorpes is a horror show, it’s always cold, their mascot does really look like he should be subject to a court order and it’s on the edge of nowhere, but ……….
……. the away supporters bar under the stand is a thing of beauty, with all the scarves etc. It’s also shite, but in a lovely way. They didn’t have to put it there, but they did, because they care.
Top marks to a proper football club. | | | |

Three points today is all that matters.
Let's hope DC makes a bold team selection.
We have plenty of snow in Durham and now heavy rain showers.
Safe journey for the faithful.
Sky Sports for me today.

BBC has the formation listed as 4-2-2-2 FFS
I don't think there can be anything else in life that is as simple as football, yet people go to such extremes to make it complicated.
I know old people are told not to go out in bad weather, but where is our captain? | | | |

I've come to think that Taylor is the natural leader of this squad. | | | |

Good to see Bishop on the bench.

Tuned into ifollow, there’s a sprinkling of the faithful already in place and they're looking like they’re frozen stiff, as they watch the warm up.
Always a tricky one, do you keep your gloves on, or risk frostbite by taking them off so you can clap the lads? | | | |

Some of the faithful might even wear shirts today at Blundell Park.
I salute them for making the trip.
Three points to kick start our season.

Harsh booking.
Edwards genuine attempt to play the ball.
Their player didn't make anything of it.
Poor from the ref. | |

Anderson was unlucky
Good start from the U's
Then Anderson took it off Taylors foot.
Come on.
Faithful in good voice. | |

Excellent start, but we then fell away a bit, giving them too much space in dangerous areas and also conceding possession too often. All to play for though, and hopefully the wind will help. | | | |

In the absence of Thorn take Anderson off and bring Gordon on.
In any event fresh legs will be needed soon.
Woodyard and Bishop soon as well. | |
