Robins to have wings clipped by Super U's at the LCI Rail Stadium 11:27 - Nov 22 with 746 viewsdurham_exile

The games are coming thick and fast at present. Tonight will be the U's 18th league match and their record this season is frankly lamentable.

4 wins 5 draws and 8 defeats, a negative goal difference (-6) and only 17 points

To put this into perspective 2 points per game will normally guarantee promotion and at least 72 points for a playoff spot.

Colchester's slide down the table has been horrendous and their current form is certainly relegation standard!

Tonight will be played on a heavy pitch at Whaddon Road and it will be a night for purposeful direct football. No underhit backpasses, a much improved performance from Walker in goal and the strikers need to sharpen their shooting boots.

Colchester will also face another of their ex players in Dan Holman, who having undergone foot surgery is fighting to get fully fit again.

The news that Owen Garvan will travel with the squad is welcome news, but should he be risked on a heavy pitch after injury.

A late addition to the squad is Big George Elokobi, likely to be on the bench after his "total recall".

Suggest:

Walker

Brindley Wynter Kent Vincent-Young

Dickenson Slater Szmodics Wright

Bonne Guthrie

Subs:

Bransgrove Eastman Elokobi Lapslie Garvan Sembie-Ferris Johnstone

Gary Johnson will be hoping that his Robins build on their draw against high flying Pompey, whilst JM simply has to win the match.

The abysmal form shown by the U's has definitely got everybody down, players, management and supporters.

Our performances have been getting gradually worse virtually every game. But having dragged along the bottom of the league for so long it is time to change things around. It is up to the players to improve their form and to learn how to win again.

Steven Gerrard looks as though he doesn't want to take on the poisoned chalice at MK Dons. I for one would welcome any interest from such a legend at Colchester. Sadly that is not on the radar but a player of Gerrard's quality would lift the whole club. Until such time as we could attract such a player it is up to JM to sort out the squad, to manage to get them playing as a team and to manage to see out games rather than concede late goals which have hurt us repeatedly this season.

Safe journey to the travelling faithful.

Try to enjoy the game and celebrate three invaluable points at 9.40pm.

Up the U's

Elokobi at left back would be suicidal. Carl Marston reporting a definite 3-5-2/5-3-2.
