Change in fortunes for the Super U's against Donny Rovers 23:37 - Nov 18 with 2928 views | durham_exile | So, the U’s prepare to welcome Danny Schofield’s Donny Rovers to the JCS tomorrow. April 2017 and a 1-1 draw at the then JSCS was the last time we played them at home. Now Dmitri Halajko our Sporting Director has confirmed that the U’s will have an increased budget in January for additions to the squad. He also vehemently denies that MB is being influenced by others at the club (TH). So that’s that then! Now let’s keep the team simple this week. I wouldn’t make any changes to the starting XI from Gresty Road except play Big Frank alongside Samson Tovide. After all we are at home. And make any changes much earlier i.e., give Lubala, Chilvers and Marshall-Miranda at least 30 minutes. Team 4,2,2,2 Hornby Tchamadeu Chambers Eastman Kazeem Ashley Judge Newby Hannant Tovide Nouble Subs O’Hara Sears Chilvers Marshall-Miranda Smith Lubala Chesters The World Cup means that we can watch the 3pm games on iFollow. Good news. More good news Kwesi Appiah should be back next week from Crawley and should be training full time. Will Longstaff be fit or have we seen the last of him in a U’s shirt. Will Huws be fit to play soon. The truth is out there. Colchester weather cloudy 8 degrees Celsius some rainfall. Doncaster will be no push overs, but who is when your are 24th in the table. Get at them early, convert our chances, be confident, play two up front. It’s that simple. Scoreline 3-1 to the Super U’s Enjoy the game. Up the U’s |  |

Never mind an emphatic result, the performance was just brilliant and three absolutely cracking goals, and all against a team challenging for the play-offs - and nothing more than we deserved! Oh, and Scumend smashed 3-1 at bottom of the league Gateshead - happy days. Bring on the Gas! |  |

Am I right in thinking that's now six home goals in a row from outside the box? Noticed the crowd was a bit better today, did Doncaster bring quite a few or did we benefit from the lack of Premier League and Championship games this week? Ended up being a good day for any first timers to attend. |  |

RS it looked from the camera about 500 from Donny. After the disappointment of last week this was a magnificent performance. Ashley gets better every week. Smith and Chambers played well. Good to see Longstaff and Huws back. Samson Tovide outstanding. Appiah will be back for the next league match and if MB is brave enough to play the two of them up front then look out league two. Absolutely delighted for MB who deserved the win. And delighted that it finished 3-0 rather than my 3-1 prediction. The clean sheet was deserved. Gillingham and Hartlepool may well be the two worse team in the league. All in all a great day for the U's |  |

I don't know the actual count, but there looked to be 5-600 Rovers fans there. Still though, at least maybe 3,000 U's fans, so definitely up on recent turnouts. |  |

Change in fortunes for the Super U's against Donny Rovers on 22:06 - Nov 19 with 1469 views | noah4x4 | To explain the gate…..over half of the East Stand was jam packed. My guess is hundreds of free tickets were distributed via schools? Excellent U’s performance. No more trying to walk the ball into the net. Any decent sight of goal and we shot. More hit row Z than the net, but that doesn’t matter when three did. Given 1-0 at half time, I expected Humes tactics, and five at the back trying to defend a slender lead, but no, we kept going forward. We need to start believing. I’ve just booked my trip to Mansfield, got my mojo back. |  | |  |

That's the spirit Noah. You just want the breakfast of course perhaps Peterborough services. The stags are having a torrid time at present too. Only 34 points required now but after today a play off place is still mathematically possible. Up the U's |  |
