I think it was a red button option on Sky Sports +.
MKD concede on 90+4 for the second week running. Freddie Lapado and Will Grigg coming off subs bench to salvage a point for Chesterfield.
No doubt about it, we are in the mix. |

I’m not surprised if West Stand tickets are not selling well as I know a number that alternate between Portman Road and Jobserve depending on who is at home. Both Ipswich and the U’s are at home today.
I’ve been away over Xmas, missing the last three fixtures, but will add my vocal support today. During my time absent, I’ve noticed far greater criticism of referees in the press and forums. I’m uncomfortable that referees get so much stick, but Bromley top suggests to me underlying concerns.
It’s time the EFL improved the standard of L2 refereeing to prevent the thugs and cheats from prospering. What seems to have happened (IMHO) is Premier League VAR demands have sucked up more resource, so starving the lower leagues of quality.
On a positive note, this creates greater career opportunity for aspiring referees, but in the meanwhile we have a void whilst they gain experience and competence. Any thoughts Gerry-US? |

Only consolation yesterday was predicting a Salford win. Frankly, I don’t think U’s games should be included as evidently a majority went with their hearts not heads.

The good news is that the full (except us) League Two programme tonight did us little harm. We remain only 2 points off the Play Offs, in tenth place.
Chesterfield held Cambridge 1:1.
Fleetwood held Salford 1:1.
Notts County beat MK Dons.
Whilst Cheltenham beat Swindon.
Tonight, I don't think we could have wished for a better set of results in and around the Play Off chasing teams. |

Ten observations;
1. Our squad is too weak. We were awful in the first half. They ran rings around us.
2. I noticed West Ham (BBC) statistics at half time were massively better than Col U. First half we had zero shots and negligible possession.
3. We instantly improved when Tovide and Read replaced Gape and Goodwin.
4. Once Lisbie and Mbickreplaced Gordon and Williams on 73 minutes, the U's were utterly dominant.
5. By full time we had enjoyed 14 shots (WH merely 12) with 8 on target (WH 3).
6. Had Mbick scored the penalty, only one side was going to win this. By then, West Ham looked a spent force.
7. Their goalkeeper made a number of incredible saves. Deffo MoM.
8. By full time all the match stats (except goals) favoured Col U.
9. In summary, the Cowleys got this wrong. Our second string were not good enough to beat these outstanding kids, and they brought on the cavalry too late.
10. I walked home down the Boulevard and more WH fans than Col U kept me company. I also got a cab from the station at 18.00 and the trains were almost empty of Hammers fans. They patently only live around the corner. |

Think we have found a new Durham….. not necessarily the writing, but definitely the optimism!
Good stuff!
Frankly, I suspect this will be a dour affair. A Colchester back five, defending deep against a fluent quick possession based side, the U’s hoping to snuff them out and snatch a set piece winner.
Home fans will probably be outnumbered, as closet Hammers fans pour out of Highwoods, Shrub End, Chesterwell Woods etc. Most having never been to the London Stadium. Hopefully some might be converted. I arrived in 2004 and sat in the Bristol City end at Layer Road, having followed the visitors over the previous five years (I have always supported my local team). I’ve missed few U’s games, home or away since then. A U’s win might inspire some youngsters that have never heard Bow Bells but follow their dads like sheep. Now I’m being the optimist…. |

One of the better refereeing performances as I didn’t detect any errors. But spoilt by a lack of bottle as regards yellow/red cards. Tovide was rugby tackled in the first minute, and no card there set the tone for the afternoon. Admittedly this helped Lisbie escape a yellow when kicking the ball away. But I find teams like Gillingham and Bromley frustrating. Over aggression kills quality. I’d hate to watch that every week.
The wind also impaired things. Macy kicks struggled to reach half way in H2. A decent point, but disappointing game. |

Any ideas folks. I’ve not seen him at football or pub since before Covid.
He was in a relationship with a lovely lady that was a member of my table tennis club. She’s gone too. I suspect they have moved away, but thought I might ask. |
