The U’s entertain Ross Embleton’s Leyton Orient side on Saturday in the final of four successive home games. It has certainly been a curate’s egg with victory over Stevenage 3-1, a disaster against Marine 1-1 and 5-3 defeat on penalties, then a much-changed side won 6-1 against Southend. Colchester are left with only the league to battle for and so this Orient match must produce three more home points.
Special mention must be made of Jevani Brown with his two hattricks against Stevenage and Southend. What price a third against Orient.
Before we move on a mention of the shocking performance and appalling result against Marine AFC. SB played a strong team who certainly should have prevailed against the non-league outfit, but we imploded in spectacular style to leave another failure in the premier Cup competition. Pell, Chilvers and Brown converted their penalties and Josh Bohui missed but there were other more senior players who should have taken that fourth penalty. Anyway, it changes nothing, and we lick our wounds fail to count the coffers and move on.
Southend are a poor side on a par with Stevenage and the margin of victory was very good, but I would have rather seen three goals go in against Marine and three against Southend.
That brings us to Orient.
SB is likely to change things around squad wise on Saturday.
I would like to see the following start:
Gerken
Welch-Hayes Eastman Sowunmi Bramall
Pell Stevenson Chilvers
Folivi Brown Bohui
Subs
George Cowan-Hall Marshall Miranda Poku Senior Clampin Smith
I am unclear whether Ben Stevenson is fit to start and if not then Poku to start instead.
Harriott is likely to be missing and so is Chuck.
Play a 4,3,3 formation take the game to Orient and lets look for three more points.
Senior and Smith should be rested they have both gone off the boil and the bench is the best they should aim for at present.
Weather is set to be mild 13 degrees Celsius and light rain with occasional sunny intervals.
The table remains a close affair:
Newport 11 25
Cambridge 11 23
FGR 11 21
Exeter 11 20
Carlisle 11 20
Cheltenham 11 19
Port Vale 10 19
Crawley 11 17
Morecambe 11 17
Salford 10 16
COL U 10 16
Walsall 11 16
Orient 11 15
Enjoy the game.
U’s to prevail 3-1

I wasn’t impressed with Bohui having had his opportunity in the last two games. Think I prefer Poku, but would put Bohui ahead of Senior. Otherwise agree with Durhams selection. |  | | |

Brilliant thread title and excellent preview Durham. This could be the first iFollow I buy this season as I think this could be a good'un as it's Orient and Football Focus is less interesting without Prem/Champ scores.
As disappointing as last week was, I don't blame SB. He can't be faulted for the squad he chose as it was almost as strong as he could have picked. Only lesson for me is not to overplay our hand in the future with Senior/Poku/Harriott all starting.
With Stevenson back I'm confident we'll be far more incisive. I really, really like Brown and am delighted that SB is getting the best out of him that we never saw under McGreal.
Up the U's! |  | | |

Preferred your selection full stop Durham. Smith has underwhelmed all season , Senior always does and Pell needs dropping for someone fit and less angry.
Why not stick with the Tuesday line up to prove a point.
Tuesday was of no interest to me but the positivity of the result was. I'd have left it there as a challenge to the others who five times in the last six games have been poor and underdelivered.
But Ball is McGreal so obviously Senior plays and creative thinking doesn't.
We shall see, like you, only a thrashing for today's opposition will do for me after the last six games (& we weren't that great v Stevenage). |  |

Currently watching France v England Women’s Rugby. I am impressed at the skill levels. Hope the U’s show as much passion and commitment. If we do, we will be in for a treat. | | | |

Pinault clearly Stevenson's injury is more serious.
Chuck Norris on the bench totally agree with you about Senior and Smith.

Jeavani Brown according to Sky. Last week we were still coached by McGreal. Wonder if they make as many mistakes with other clubs? |  |

No player has been spectacular but then again no one has been poor. A good 6.5/10 first half.
Not convinced by us sitting back and playing on the counterattack.
What is the news on Stevenson?
Bohui has not impressed me and obviously not impressed SB that much just yet hence reason he was not in starting XI. Hopefully in time he will come good.
Fingers crossed we can continue onwards to victory | | | |
