Colchester tonight

[Ryan.c]

Echo says no Swaine, but other than that a full squad I reckon (except Flack/Holland). Chance to get the starting XI sorted for the Hastings game.

[F G United]

Any idea what sort of side Colchester will be bringing?

 

Where is Gazza?

[Rick the Dick]

I believe Teddy's been saving himself for this one Les. Come on down!

From this mornings East Anglia Daily Times:-

 

Quote:

TEDDY Sheringham insists that he is “fit and raring to go,” despite acknowledging that he is still lacking in match-sharpness... ...“I'm not 100%, that's for sure, but I'm fit and I'm available,” revealed Sheringham at yesterday's Media Day at Layer Road. “I missed a couple of weeks with a calf problem, but I've trained for the last 10 days and I got my lungs going with 20 minutes action against Bolton."

Thought you may have known FG. GazzaBTFC is now GazzaCCFC, having been lured to the Athletics track to take charge of your tannoy and take responsibility of the one record you lot are allowed to play before the game. He said they have 'bigger' records at Chelmo, but personally I think he's been offered a big fat wadge of money.

[Cherry Blue]

Bigger records Do you mean the 12 inch version !!!

[Ryan.c]

With gonads to match!

[Sticks]

According to the Colchester website its 'a side made up mainly of youth team players'.

All support welcome Ryan, you included. I could not care less wether any records are played at any ground, I'm there for the football which provides plenty enough entertainment. I understand our playing budget has increased again this year.

Matchday volunteers are entitled to a pint & a roll, but surely that would not entice Gazza,would it?

 

Reasonable crowd last night 481, I heard your third goal was a belter, with their keeper getting injured in the process.

3rd goal was a fantastic strike, although it wasnt that incident that injured the keeper. He made a fine save from a header and banged his head on the post in the process. Got up and carried on playing with a bandage on which was good to see

[richards]

Terrific performance, ok it was a reserve Colchester team but still on paper tough opposition.

 

Strong performances from ALL players, great energy and committment, if we can keep that up we should go well.

 

And a new lease of life for Lee Hodges. He often struggled to play much beyond 45 minutes last year - has he had a bionic knee and engine transplant. Well done Lee.

Further to Hodgey talk...Spoke to the Col U bench management for that game afterwards and a really nice compliment from them was simply "Hodges is still a class act"
