With these stats they will be relieved to be playing us then. We always end our opponents bad run of form.

Colchester win with a late goal and begin a run that takes them to the play offs.

As Colchester lift the 2027 Champions League trophy their captain, Erling Braut Haaland, says "this amazing period in Colchester's history all began against Grimsby...."

If a great escape is to happen a win on Saturday and a minimum of one point v Tranmere is a must but ideally two home wins and dreams of a dizzy 22nd place remains alive.

Barrow play on Friday night at Walsall and Southend are at home to Stevenage on Saturday.

Not often I say this but I'll be hoping for a Stevenage win.

With our game not kicking off until half 5 a Walsall and Stevenage win before are as good as a must really.

You watch them both get smashed 5-0 and we then respond by playing a point, only to be left broken hearted as Colchester's 14 year old goalkeeper belts one in from his own area on 90mins (+12)

At 8.50 pm last night I thought we were doomed. On reflection, the last 2 performances have been markedly better. Not an achievement granted but we certainly deserved more than 1 point from the last 2 games. If we can put together a little run then maybe we can somehow escape. For that to happen Hanson has to stay fit. Plus, I thought Eastwood looked a liability last night and I hope Macca gets recalled on Saturday.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

We might win a point unless the Hurst factor cuts in again.

Lost out on my bet last night. Had 5-1 for away win.
At 29/20 might have a sneaky one for a home win on Saturday.
I, for one have not given up all hope. Still about 1/3 of the season to go.
Think playoffs looking shaky tho.

Colchester is too early to post about, I'll wait till Friday. I'm still fuming about last nights draw. Hanson missed the header both Waterfall and Hewitt let the man with the ball go and then Menayese let the man who scored go free.
Originally I blamed Waterfall but it was a joint effort by all four of them inspired by Hurst.( Watched sky in slowmo)

I'm sure I'll find optimistic positive things for Friday but for now............O sh!t the wine bottles empty.

Our luck has got to change soon.

No more late goals and no more silly mistakes.

Plus we score more than one which will help.

Let's hope Colchester are forced to give their 20-year-old youngster Callum Coulter his professional debut.

No offence to the lad but we need all the help we can get.

Can't understand why it's a 5:30pm kick-off, could have saved on the cost of floodlights or am I missing something.

It’s probably to get more people to buy the game. Personally, I think it’s a good idea

Didn't our game at theirs kick-off at the same time. Some sort of agreement between the 2 clubs to save on an overnight stay the day before?

I know it felt like a defeat due to the time of the equaliser but we actually drew with Carlisle.

On the plus side, I think we've won 50% of our 17:30 kick offs this season [citation needed]
