After a great Away win at Rodney Parade last Friday, the Super U’s return home for the last League at the JSCS this season. And Yours truly will be there to witness a classy Home win.
The U’s will be aiming for a third consecutive victory after the impressive results against Bradford and Newport. With the Seasonal Awards to take place immediately after the game and the opportunity for the fans to thank Junior Tchamadeu for his EFL League Two award for Apprentice of the Year it is hoped that we might get a decent attendance too (4,500 perhaps).
The Exiles will be there is force with Wessex and family travelling by train and me driving down from Durham (260 miles each way). My first home game of the season as well to go with the eleven Away matches. I will be at the Monkey Hangers next week for the final game of the season.
A win tomorrow and we could go 13th in the table.
Walsall 44 53
Hartlepool 44 53
Bradford 44 52
COL U 44 51
Rochdale 44 50
Harrogate 44 50
Carlisle 44 50
Barrow 44 44
Stevenage 44 44
Oldham 44 37 R
Scunny 44 25 R
I regret Oldham’s departure from the league, I was hoping that Stevenage would have gone but our poor performance recently against them ultimately helped keep them up.
One thing is certain there cannot be another struggling season next year. We are fast running out of poor teams in League Two.
Tomorrow, we play the Saddlers led by Michael Flynn (a loathsome creature) he say he hates the place (Colchester) because his record as player and manager here is poor. Well, we were poor at the Bescot earlier in the season and it would be great to bow out at home with a 5-0 drubbing of the Walsall team tomorrow.
Walsall play tomorrow in their commemorative third kit of white, but next season their main club sponsor will be Poundland.
Notable in their ranks will be Liam Kinsella son of Mark.
This week also marked a milestone 14 years since the last ever game at Layer Road (the narrow 1-0 defeat to Stoke City) which also marked our relegation to League One. We are long overdue to get back to the rarefied air of the EFL League One.
Now a couple of weeks ago I suggested that some or all of the following should get some game time before the end of the season; Chay Cooper, Sam Cornish, Ryan Lowe, Donnell Thomas, Gene Kennedy and Samson Tovide.
However, I am inclined not to change a winning side and would therefore suggest:
George
Tchamadeu Chambers Smith Kenlock
Wiredu Skuse
Chilvers Judge
Akinde Sears
Subs
Hornby MWH Edwards Hannant Huws Eastman Coxe
Please, please play two up front and let us see John Akinde get 90 minutes on the field.
Then whatever we do make sure we persuade Bristol City to let us sign Owura Edwards and from Wimbledon, Corie Andrews. Bigger mites in cheese you say but nothing ventured as they say.
Then if we can keep Noah Chilvers (Now worth £1.5m) for one more season he will fire us to League One.
One player that I would be interested in the club signing is midfielder Davis Keillor-Dunn from the relegated Latics.
Weather tomorrow will be 13 degrees Celsius and sunny intervals. Little chance of any precipitation.
The pitch should be good and let us see if we can sign off at home with an impressive victory.
I would imagine that RC will be announcing the permanent appointment after the Hartlepool game and I would think that he will be sticking with WB. Whether JD is part of the package remains to be seen. Then we get the transfer business done early and hide Noah Chilvers away in darkest North Essex until August.
Safe journey to all travelling Exiles and enjoy the game.
The Blue and White stripes are back next season.
Prediction 5-0 Colchester

Excellent write-up as ever Durham, I will look out for you in what I hope will be a reasonably full South Stand! Like you, whilst I like the ‘romance’ of giving some of our young talent a run-out in the last two games, I’d much prefer we finished on a high note with (hopefully) two more wins. And not forgetting technically Wayne hasn’t got the job yet, so we must start with our strongest XI. The nippers can come on in injury time after Noah has banged away our fifth

Two up front? At home? When being praised in the Gazette for sticking with 4-3-2-1? There is not a chance that WB will change that, nor will Akinde start, until Humes follows De Souza out of the door.
Sadly, I will be absent, and again absent at Hartlepool due to commitments involving leather on willow. Folk can catch my (cricket) live stream from 12:30 if they Google 'Colchester Play Cricket' and visit today's match centre. Should be less depressing than watching Essex capitulate with the bat. Yesterday at CloudFM was shocking.
But let's also cheer on the six year old kids in the scooter stunt team from Myland School on BGT. Lots of good TV today. I will catch up with the U's on I-Follow tomorrow. So travel well Wessex and Durham. |  | | |

A little Noah Chilvers has just missed a sitter.
Akinde makes a difference.
I would like to see Edwards get some minutes.

Surprisingly a high tempo game for the penultimate game, but full credit to both clubs for a open encounter.
Sadly this display become only possible due to fixture fulfilment, rather than a requirement of a result for something more noteworthy.
The club must sort out interim positions quickly for everyone involved, players and fans alike. |  |

The players were brilliant with the fans. Taking time for selfies, signings and so on.
Joe Dunne was left on his own but he too made time for the faithful.
The player's children showed some real football skills and it was a positive end to the season at home.
Pity we didn't win (Chilvers missed two sitters second half) because I can't stand Flynn.
Still unbeaten in three and just the Monkey Hangers to come.
The wheels fell off at Home Park today - shame!

The object thrown by a Walsall thug at Sam Hornby in the second half was a stone .
It was handed to a steward on the half way line by the ref
Shocking early they couldn't afford any coins.
This simply must stop.
