After Tuesday night Colchester are left with the FA Cup and the league for honours this season. The former to bring in some much-needed revenue, the latter the much-vaunted promotion.
The Hammers goal that proved to be the difference between the two sides was a bit special and we have now seen three spectacular goals since the weekend fixture against Barrow.
My programme for Saturday against the Latics arrived today and so with my iFollow pass to be obtained tomorrow, I will be all set to enjoy the game from the JSCS.
Harry Kewell has the unenviable task of delivering a positive season for Oldham and they have started poorly. But let us not get carried away that tomorrow will be a walkover. The one thing to say about League Two this year, in these unparalleled times, is that it is so wide open that almost anyone (except Scummend) could win the league.
Therefore, it is all about starting strongly and remaining positive throughout. SB was unhappy with the performance against the Hammers, but it was a much-changed U’s team.
The programme features an in-depth account of Jevani Brown, the player with the ability to become IMHO the player of the season for Colchester. He received little service at Barrow but hitherto has shown his ability and flair in front of goal. 20 goals this season especially if he plays alongside MTC.
And that brings me to the likely line up tomorrow.
Harry Pell is still unfit and although Tom Lapslie and Diaz Wright are both back in training neither will be fit for tomorrow. Therefore, expect a similar line up from SB but I would like to see a bold and innovative team in a 4,3,1,2 formation:
Gerken
Welch-Hayes Eastman Smith Bramall
Stevenson Chilvers Gambin
Brown
Taylor-Crossdale Norris
Subs.
George Sowunmi Harriott Cowan-Hall Scarlett McLeod Tovide
Now I know that Courtney Senior has once again come in for a lot of criticism for his laissez faire approach to his football. He always seems to take one or two touches too many or take on an extra player and loses the ball cheaply or simply runs down a blind alley. He has ability and skill but too often this is wasted and causes frustration amongst the faithful.
Frankly, he should be dropped tomorrow and asked to think seriously about his contribution to the team and his playing style. He is the Jesse Lingard of Colchester United at the moment.
Now I have championed the arrival of Martell Taylor- Crossdale who scored goals for fun in the reserves for Chelsea and Fulham before joining on a season long loan. But apart from 20 minutes at Reading he has been consigned to the training ground and the occasional U23 appearance for our Development squad.
I want SB to name him in the squad tomorrow and for him to get some game time. But ideally start him with Chuck Norris and Jevani Brown and let us see what the three of them can do in a front three. Too radical (perhaps so) but if we are not going to play him why bother to waste everyone’s time.
Interesting to note that Macca Bonne has left Charlton for QPR for a fee in the region of £2m. Happy Days.
The weather in Colchester is forecast for rain showers with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius with occasional sunny intervals. No need to water the pitch then and the surface will be slick.
However, you watch or listen to the game enjoy it.
Score prediction 4-0 to the Super U’s
(Jevani Brown hattrick)

Thanks for this Durham and I will be happy if we win I-0.
Can't see us being involved in a lot of high scoring games but would be happy if we continue to concede only one goal every three games! |  | | |

Terrible decision from the linesman flagging a non-penalty - Oldham back in the game, and then the U's go to sleep and suddenly it's 2-2

Chance for the new management to demonstrate some intelligence or allow themselves to be outwitted by a side who are yet to win. Pathetic since half time. | |

Our problem is that the shots when they come are predominantly from defenders or midfield players which SB must address by introducing a striker for the next game | |
