Thanks very much. And correct you are re: Edwards assist. I'll correct that. Thanks for the heads-up.

Tovide I'll be honest. I've seen him play 4/5 times over the last, I think 2-3 years. Each time I've seen him I've thought ''he won't be there in a year'' anticipating interest from higher up in the pyramid. But I'd never actually seen him score before so checked his record and that got me thinking. I also had him in my mind as 22-23 until a couple of weeks ago, when I realised he was in fact still just 20.

I remember that really well. I was on the way to school and had it on the radio in the car. I recall the confusion over the delay and then as you mention the pictures of the empty chair!

I'm sure he will get an interesting reception when we get Wrexham at our place this season.

I think we then went for Andy Ritchie instead, which must've made him felt great as sloppy seconds.

Through football forums I had a really close relationship with a couple of Colchester fans. Still in contact with them now, but very in-touch between 2005-2010. I remember fondly making as many food-related Dean Gerken jokes as I could as well as very surreal memories of David Perkins (playing against us) and the amount of abuse he got on one particular occasion (not sure why).

I didn't actually!

Indeed. They very much divided opinion when they were here. I personally was a fan and thought getting rid of them in the manner we did was a poor decision at the time.

Hello all,

Neutral fan here. I've been doing a lot of analysis and viewing of League 2 games this season and recently decided to attempt to start blogging. I'm a Huddersfield fan and have a bit of a soft spot for Colchester, and decided after watching some games to do my first blog piece on Colchester with a planned further update later on in the season and also a piece on Samson Tovide who fascinates me.

I hope this is allowed, if not, feel free to delete. I'd love to hear feedback and thoughts especially if you feel I am beinng very wrong on some parts!
