Cod Army gutted to lose to the Super U's in classic encounter 18:01 - Nov 29 with 1215 viewsdurham_exile

Tomorrow sees DC take his U’s side to Highbury Stadium – the home of the Cod Army.

Now I must resist the temptation to opine that we will batter them and that they’ve had their chips or that they will be filleted by the Super U’s.

Charlie Adam’s side are 13th with 21 points from 14 games (2 games in hand on most clubs) whilst we are 20th with 17 points from 16 games.

Brendan Wiredu a former U’s favourite might be fit to face his old side.

Now once again the game is on Sky TV with a 12:30hrs kick off and so I am going to watch the game on the TV. I have no real excuse but that is the way it is tomorrow.

Of course, the last time I went to Highbury Stadium was 25 April 2015 where the attendance was 3,129 and on 83 minutes we were 2-1 down and heading for relegation.
However, Gavin Massey drew us level on 84 minutes and in a frantic finale Chris Porter scored a penalty in front of the faithful (he was super cool when it really mattered). We won 3-2 and cue jubilant scenes from the faithful. We also survived that season, only to be relegated the following season.

Tomorrow at Fleetwood the weather will be 12 degrees Celsius, cloudy with a 22% chance of precipitation and a keen breeze.

Make sure you take some Fisherman’s Friends which are made by the Lofthouse Company in Fleetwood ( you pass the factory on the way to the ground).

Now after the euphoria of the first Away win of the season at a wet and windy Blundell Park (the weather was horrendous and fair play to the faithful who battled the elements to witness the great win), the forecast suggests that conditions will be marginally better at Highbury Stadium.

It was also no accident that DC was able to field almost his strongest side.

I would go with the following tomorrow:

Definitely the best back four at the club. Then if fit I would like to see Oscar Thorn and Owura Edwards as the wide players with McDonnell and Payne in midfield. TnT up front.

Macey

Egbo Goodliffe Donnelly Iandolo

Thorn McDonnell Payne Edwards

Tovide Taylor

Subs
Smith Flanagan Anderson Read Gordon Woodyard Bishop

And this is the problem that DC has still no place for Kells within that lineup and squad.

Anyway, we will see how bold DC is with his selection.

Back-to-back Away wins. You better believe it. The U’s are on their way up.

Scoreline another win and in an open game a 3-2 U’s win with a scorcher from Egbo and TnT to bag the other two.

Safe journey to the travelling faithful.

Enjoy the game and Up the U’s

On the Club website, there is no match report, and no highlights or full match replay. And on the Col U YouTube channel there are also no highlights or any post-match interviews. Is the Media Team on holiday?


I searched for a post-match interview in vain too. I thought the team played with more confidence and style at Fleetwood than I'd seen this season. So it's disappointing that the injury list is growing again.

Did I read somewhere that the club Xmas party was after the Fleetwood game? Might explain the radio silence I suppose?
