Robins to have wings clipped at the WHCS 10:46 - Feb 13 with 3495 viewsdurham_exile

Keep this short and sweet - Colchester must embark upon the greatest achievement in their relatively short football history to rival the recently confirmed archaeological remains unearthed beneath a block of flats in the town which have remained largely undisturbed since AD43.

The faithful will hope that the Romans legacy in Camulodunum can inspire their modern day gladiators to overcome the odds starting with the visit of the Robins. A near miracle is required to reach 51 points but it is still in our own hands.

We do not need to rely on anyone doing us a favour, we simply need to reach 51 points with 9 wins and a couple of draws from our final 17 games.

It can be done. After all the current squad is the strongest assembled in the past four years, what is required is belief.

RC, KK and the players know what is expected and will have to dig deep to unearth those magical victories, SPQR and all that!

KK has the opportunity to introduce a couple of his new signings into the squad today with Nicky Shorey likely to start and Elliot Lee on the bench.

The foolish Alex Gilbey sits out the next three games and will have plenty of time to reflect on letting his team mates down by believing all the type that has been written about him. He has proved nothing yet and achieved even less. Talented yes but very much the unfinished article. He needs to grow up fast and concentrate on winning games for his club rather than sitting with his head in the clouds dreaming.

Team 4,4,2

Parish

Brindley Kent Eastman Shorey

Massey Garvan Edwards Moncur

Bonne Porter

Subs:

Vincent-Young Sembie-Ferris Briggs Lee Wright Barnes Elokobi

We have a decent record against Swindon at the WHCS. The Spireites Tuesday evening will also have to be despatched pointless if we are to embark upon a record breaking run of victories to escape the threat of ignominious relegation.

A cold day but the faithful will be warmed with a handsome victory at 4.50pm.

Enjoy the game.

Love your first line. "Short and sweet."

Do you write your posts on paper with a fountain pen and have a secretary transcribe it to The U'sual as well?

Ok, here we go. Time to crack up my U's Player ...

Today is the day I continue to believe or resign myself to relegation

The last 3 seasons I have never doubted us to stay up but this season has been very painful and my normal optimism is at about 95% gone. I cling on to the remaining 5% being in tact at 17:00 today. Lose today and it will be 100%

I hate having no faith in the team I support but like I said defeat today and I am 100% resigned to relegation.

At least I can (hopefully) look forward to a promotion campaign next season

Good news we may not play Accrington next season

Despite being down to 9 men they are winning 3-1 and could be in the play offs!

Things could not be any worse!

It's as if we are cursed this year. We didn't look like a team that should lose 1-4., but we've never looked like we deserve the beatings we've taken. Fair play to KK he tried something different, but yet again we missed chances and for brief periods our defence goes missing. Lee looked good at times, but you've got to feel sorry for the loanees and youngsters coming in.

KK starting to get tetchy with Neil Kelly on the way home, which is unnecessary as he's only doing his job and I don't agree that the players are giving everything. There looked a degree of inevitability about it all to me and not much sign of fighting for survival.

At least Keen got the subs right, albeit at least 15 minutes too late.

37 goals F is not great but not the end of the world.

72 conceded, however, is SPECTACULAR!

minus 35 GD ... you have to be effing kidding.

Durham I always enjoy your happy and optimistic pre match assessment, but could you change it, perhaps 'U's to be well and truly stuffed this weekend' you never know, you may be putting a spell on the team.

It's not very likely Curruthers,
He'll probably remind us all that we are only 28 points from a play off place.
