IanRC added 19:55 - Feb 11 Good draw for us. Thought Salisu was very good for a debut.

Good performance from Armstrong , he might have had a hat-trick on another day.
Excellent assist from Nathan Tella who was only on pitch 3 for minutes.
Salisu a bit shaky at start, but grew into the game and won few crucial tackles...will improve.
Yet another clean sheet for Fraser Forster...
Danny Ings - goal poacher - what more can you say,
.....and the rest ......all DAJFU when it mattered.

How can anyone give more than a 1 to Redmond?? He has been totally useless in last 2 games. Can't pass, can't tackle, can't beat an opponent, can't shoot.
I was trying to work out why he doesn't get substituted. I believe Ralph keeps him on to distract the opposition. While they are laughing someone else can score.
Armstrong excellent as usual; Salisu nervy but did his job as did rest of defence; Tella quick of foot and mind; Forster to start Sunday.

halftimeorange added 20:12 - Feb 11 Can't disagree with any of the comments above. I thought Armstrong was the best player on the park irrespective of his miss. Glad the Beeb thought likewise. The much maligned Bednarek was excellent, too and Fraser Forster looked solid when he had anything to do. I'd like to see Tella start instead of Redmond on Sunday.

ElijahK added 20:17 - Feb 11 WHAT A DRAW!!! Exactly what Iâ€™d hoped for in the team news post! Still great result and an even better draw! What a way to get to the Semi-finals at Wembley of the FA Cup!

mancuniansaint added 20:23 - Feb 11 It's been pointed out to me that there's a precedent for a team losing 9-0 in a season and then reaching the Cup final. Crystal Palace in 1989-90. They also avenged the 9-0 (against Liverpool) in the semi-final - which is a possibility for Saints too. Omen?

SaintPaulVW added 21:10 - Feb 11 I presume Shane can't play against us? That aside, the Bournemouth team will be easy to motivate. If we play like tonight, I think we can do it but it's not going to be the easy stroll that some seem to think.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
