I am out tomorrow evening and so will delay my assessment of the Harrogate game until the weekend and Accrington at Home.
Now I have made a bold and perhaps foolhardy prediction for the scoreline against the Mariners tomorrow. However, a side is in for a slaughter, battering if you will when those chances are converted.
DC will have been incandescent after Saturday not only the defeat but the manner after 94 minutes. Some of the leaders in the side will have been equally disappointed.
With Accrington at the JCS on Saturday the U’s have the rare opportunity to secure two doubles in less than a week following their splendid 3-2 Away win at Blundell Park and a hard fought 1-0 win at Accrington earlier in the season.
David Artell brings his Grimsby side after a 3-1 defeat at home to the leaders on Saturday. They have Danny Rose and Abo Eisa (former Col U loanee and Jeff Stelling dined out on the number of financial puns that he could get out of Eisa).
DC will be wanting to consign the disappointing defeat against Harrogate to the history books and look to secure another three vital points on Tuesday evening.
So, the team is likely to be changed only if Arthur Read is fit to play, if not it will not be dissimilar to Saturday with Chilvers retained.
Formation though 4,3,3 two wingers to support Hopper.
Goodman
Richardson Harbottle Hall Iandolo
Smith Read McGeehan
Fevrier Hopper Anderson
Subs:
Hornby Jay Dallison Edwards Ihionvien Chilvers Wilkinson
I am serious about the 6-0 prediction. A hattrick is overdue for the U’s and it could be Fevrier who bags them. Smith and Read plus Wilkinson to complete the rout.
A mild 9 degrees Celsius at the JCS but wet and windy.
We get at them early doors and convert the embarrassing number of chances that we squandered against the Sulphurites.
Not a great more to say.
Enjoy the game.
A decent midweek crowd for JCS under the lights and something to cheer about after the disappointment of Saturday.
Up the U’s

Not a bad night despite FGR winning
Now
Colchester played 31 points 29
FGR 31, 23
Sutton 32, 22
Equal games as FGR and 6 points clear
More funny is Seaweed are only out of relegation zone on goal difference - we can dream 
Sadly in all seriousness I expect Seaweed to avoid relegation |
I'm not so sure to be honest, after getting into an outside chance of making the play-offs, they're in free fall again and genuinely could get relegated to the NL South. Now that they're safe(ish) from liquidation, wouldn't it be hilarious if they were.
Special mention for AFC Fylde tonight though, 1pt ahead of Southend in the relegation dogfight and away at promotion contenders Aldershot, they won 5-0. That's mental! I know the Shots had a player sent off, but Fylde were already 1 up (or 2, not sure what happened first, the red card or the second goal) at the time. Crazy. [Post edited 13 Feb 22:20]

But we were 6-0 up at that point! | |

Good job we didn’t play Mansfield last night given we failed to beat Harrogate on Saturday.
Maybe the Grimsby postponement will allow enough time for Tovide to return to fitness? Frankly, I am pleased we didn’t play as we are typically awful in the rain on the shocking Jobserve pitch, where passes won’t run and the goal areas are perilous for even diligent GKs.
We narrowly beat a slick Accrington away in a game where they might easily have scored nine had they their shooting boots on. It could even be that the awful Jobserve pitch favours us for once. Consecutive defeats is unthinkable given FGRs new manager bounce improvement. Dropping two points after a miraculous recovery from 0-2 to 3 - 2 two weeks ago might haunt us. |  | | |
