Mick Lynch, your boys took one hell of a beating at the JCS 10:14 - Apr 10 with 2133 views

Hyperbole surrounds today’s game against the Railwaymen and I’m going to add to it.

The most important game of the season, a must win, a must not lose under any circumstances.

No win in nine despite four successive draws has seen our gap over the two worst teams in the league disappear. The pressure is now on the U’s to secure the three points against Crewe today.

The reverse fixture at Gresty Road was attended by among others Wessex and I. MB was in charge then and we fought hard but could not score a goal that our domination deserved. Result a breakaway goal saw Agyei score and we lost 1-0. Yes this is the ultimate game requiring a home win.

Goal difference could yet come into this wretched season.

Harrogate 39 40 -12
COL U 40 39 -12
Crawley 40 38 -21
Hartlepool 40 38-22
Rochdale 40 32-23

Rochdale remain favourites for the drop but the Monkey Hangers have found some form with Dan Kemp (my favourite and a U’s target score 9 goals in 12 games). Our game at Crawley has now taken on gargantuan proportions. In fact, we now have 6 Cup finals to retain our League status.

I will be at three of the final six games and can watch the game today on iFollow and next Tuesday’s game at Crawley. Definitely not for persons of a nervous disposition.

So, what team will BG put out today.

Try this.

Chambers Kelleher Hall

Tchamadeu Skuse Ashley Read

Chilvers

Tovide Fevrier

Smith, Jay, Akinde, Marshall Miranda, Newby, Hopper, Wood

Tom Hopper has lost confidence in front of goal but he does hold the ball up well.
Therefore, bench him and bring the two youngsters in and give them free rein to run at the Railwaymen. If Cole Skuse is fit bring him back in. His ability in the midfield has been sorely missed.

On the subject of motivational speeches, I’ve pinched this from Any Given Sunday.

“I’ll tell you this, in any fight it’s the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I’m gonna have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him.”

Can Ben Garner be Tony D’Amato today, we will know by 4.55pm.

Weather today 13 degrees Celsius, mild and light rain. A gentle breeze perhaps.

Don’t forget for those of you who cannot get to this vital and crucial game it is available on iFollow.

Let us hope for a bumper Bank Holiday crowd at the JCS. Enjoy the game.

Scoreline 3-0 Colchester (it’s about time).
