They took over at Lincoln prior to the 2016-17 season. They won The National League title in their first season, The EFL Trophy in their second and The League Two title in their third.
A run in this competition would be a welcome bonus providing it's accompanied by a climb up the league table.

I had a look at the who's who section of the official site to see who Shirley might be. Although he's not listed as being a member of staff I presume it is Simon Bassey.
What astonished me is the number of employees. Colchester United appear to have, or will have when vacancies are filled, nearly sixty employees behind the team or backroom staff. This seems a huge figure for a club averaging about 4,300 for home matches. I'm in no position to say whether it is excessive or not but I do wonder what Sir Jim Ratcliffe would have made of it if he'd bought into The U's rather than manu. |

What an all round good 'un Lyle Taylor is. Surely the best signing of the summer. |

I'm reluctant to criticise but even I was surprised to see Flanagan starting ahead of Goodliffe. Thorn and Tovide to come on and turn it around in the second-half I hope. |

Matt Bloomfield, formerly of your parish, is the early favourite to replace Robins. |

That appears to be exactly what they're doing and as an ABU of fifty years and more I'm not happy about it. I fear Amorim will be very successful at manu. |

As an aside I note Don Cowie, Ross County Manager, full of praise for Noah Chilvers saying he was the inspiration in their comeback win against Killie yesterday.
As for the record since the Cowleys arrived, it is abysmal. If it was any other management team I'd be calling for their heads. But then I'd be banging the drum for the Cowleys to replace them! We can only hope things just click soon. All managers/head-coaches have a shelf life. I'd be more than sad if the brothers have reached the end of theirs.
Danny and Nicky worked very hard to make their way into the full-time professional game. They'll be giving everything to turn around this season and ensure their tenure at Colchester United doesn't end in failure.

I don't like these 12.30 kick-offs. It's bad enough you losing without me forcing myself to watch.
That was so poor though slightly better once the substitutions were made. Lyle Taylor stands out as one player with quality for me but he's thirty-five in March.
Let's hope for better in the cup next weekend against Ian Holloway's Swindon. But of course it's points that really matter. |

Will Grigg! Banging them in for Chesterfield but an absolute waste of a seven-figure sum for us. Probably Stewart Donald's biggest clanger taking peanuts for Josh Maja instead of letting him see his contract out and then paying several times the Maja fee for a man who appeared to regret joining us from the moment he arrived.
He'll probably score the only goal of the match tonight. |

I thought Colchester played really well until they scored the opener. I was still very hopeful of at least a draw until the second. The defender who allowed their man to cut inside with such ease deserved a severe telling-off in the dressing room.
One side issue; I can't find Danny's normal post-match interview. |

The strong rumour today is that Carlisle want Mike Williamson the MK Dons head coach. It's a little surprising as he's apparently very close to the sack at MK; or at least would be if most of their supporters had their way. |

In 1912-13 Sunderland drew two and lost five of their first seven league games leaving them on two points. It was a 38 match season and two points for a win of course. Sunderland won the league by a four point margin ahead of Aston Villa.
So with 120 points still to play for it is, as you say, very early days. |

Your wish came partly true; Taylor and Tovide both scored. But what a disappointing result. I feared Morecambe would break their duck but to score three and two of them with ten men was a shocker. |
