True, but at least we're at home. We'll also know we have the unconditional support of Chesterfield and the rest of Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire too. |

Not really many surprises in the first round so far. As for the draw, for obvious reasons I’ve got my eye on Salisbury, but Leyton Orient away would be a good day out, though probably the end of our FA Cup as well. [Post edited 8 Nov 9:32]

It’s never going to feature as match of the round, but for the most part it was comfortable. Fair play to the Worcester supporters, turned up in better numbers than most League 2 sides, and stayed behind their side before, during and after the game. Time to start thinking about preferences for Monday’s draw. |

An interesting factoid, our 1948 Southern League match against Worcester was postponed because we were playing Reading in the first round on the FA Cup. 19,072 turned up, our record attendance, and the game was abandoned in the first half because of fog. |

Lovely thread title, very Durhamesque! Think this is going to be a bruising affair tbh, but we won’t have a better chance to score a few and get some confidence back in the team. Might be a slightly confusing afternoon for their support, given they play in the same strip as we do. ColuData does list on notable name, Rene Gilmartin. I’m on my way over right now, first home game this season. |

In my youth I spent many of my teenage years in Colchester's 308 Squadron Air Training Corps, including for several of them as Trumpet Major in our band. I can say with firsthand experience that the Last Post is an incredibly tough gig, and with an E flat valveless trumpet rather than a bugle, even tougher. I've played Last Post at multiple commemorations, including once officially at our War Memorial. Saturday was note-perfect, exceptionally hard to do cold, and without doubt a recording, but please don't knock young cadets giving it their all. They make lack in ability, but not in sentiment. |

Well that was a travesty, we should have won that game, or at worst drawn 2-2 - but we lose 3-1. Walsall are a good side, and probably deserve their position at the right end of the league, but we were better - f'ck! |

Great response from the U's, forced some decent saves, one goal disallowed but Jack from the spot gives us the equaliser we deserved. Apart from their early goal, a very good performance from the U's so far. |
