Hells bells, this games tomorrow and nobody has mentioned it!!

After Tuesday's solid performance I would like to see another steady approach. Quietly confident of all 3 pts and predicting a 2.1 win.

Both goals from Stockton but a heart in mouth kind of affair... We don't do things the easy way!

For once we will do it the easy way by scoring early in a dominant display and win 3-0 in front of 3600 😄

It's mentioned on football Scotland twitter that Oxford are after Dean Campbell, they were right when he came here, anyway it'll cost them if it's true!

We can't move far with a win but a show of intent by getting all 3 pts with our games in hand will do me and all of us I'm sure, it's been another excellent season and I sincerely hope that we can achieve more than last and at the very least, create some waves at the top!

Everyone scrapping for points now, but after the performance on Tuesday I would hope for a comfortable win.

I fear another Forest Green could be on the cards

Forest Green played better than Gillingham I agree will be difficult game depends on how Colchester view the game a point might do them so getting that first goal will be crucial.

'Barrow syndrome' is defined in the football dictionary as getting a good result then playng the next game with high expectations and losing.

We have suffered from it frequently over the years.

I have often been accused of being a pessimist but, as the saying goes, a pessimist is a happy man because he expects the worst and is sometimes pleasantly surprised. I hope today will prove this saying. ;)

Let’s not forget how their staff acted in the reverse game. Let’s make them feel really welcome 😁

I think they should still be relatively fresh so going for 2 - 0 win in spite of Cowley being there.
3,332.

A draw wouldnt be the end of the world but not loosing is massively important if we truly want to go up!

3 points is what we all want and Im putting neck on line for a win.

Danny Cowley made some comments this week to the effect that he’s stuck with the squad he inherited until the end of the season and understands their current limitations.

In other words he knows they are not that good and his aim is to take as many points as they need to stay up. Results show he has made them defensively more robust but they still don’t score many.

Expect them to play “trench” football. Not that pretty and not what you might associate with the Cowleys. Was a bit surprised when they took that job tbh.
