On Saturday I am heading to the Wham Stadium for the Accrington Stanley game. My son and daughter in law are treating me to the Hospitality package in the 1968 Lounge.
Now I have been to the stadium several times including the last three games and I reckon the opportunity to enjoy bacon sandwiches, a meal, and the facilities will enhance the matchday experience (providing we win of course). The early start (1230 ko) means the meal will follow the game.
And after some disappointing results, not least the Crewe game which we should have won I hope that we can transform our striking options and secure a vital three points in Accrington. John Doolan will be equally keen to secure a home win as will evergreen Paddy Madden.
I am hoping for a three nil Colchester victory, and I truly hope that DC will make a bold selection for his starting XI.
Team 4,3,3:
Macey
KVY Araujo Tucker Powell
Bishop Payne Read
Edwards Williams Lisbie
Subs: Akande Gordon Tovide Smith Gape Baldwin Mbick
Drop Hunt (Anderson could be injured) to add to the other injuries Goodwin, Iandolo, Perry, Flanagan and Milton Oni (due back soon).
There is no point in waiting for the last 30 minutes before making the subs who undoubtedly change the game but by starting boldly we can avoid the early goal being conceded and this forcing us to chase the game.
Weather will include 15 degrees Celsius thundery showers, sunny intervals
Safe journey to the travelling faithful.
Enjoy the game.
Up the U’s

Hope you enjoy the day Durham, what a lovely treat! That Paddy Madden is always a thorn in our side whenever I see him play, so hope our backline keep him quiet tomorrow. 3-0 away from home in the league is a rare beast, last achieved by none other than Ben Garner over two years ago at Priestfield. However, there was none more epic than that opening day at Hillsborough under Parky back in 2004. Fingers-crossed you get to see another one tomorrow. |  |

Wessex as you know I am the eternal optimist. Equally Paddy is always a threat.
I was at that Hillsborough game in 2004 and the score line was predicted by me.
However I'm not a betting man or I could have got 360-1 (incredible but true).
I feel that we are overdue converting those chances into goals and tomorrow could do it.

Dreadful first half, virtually no one showing any composure or ball control, and we deserve to be behind. But how did Lisbie miss that chance to equalise? | |

Have to agree, but well done to the 199 who made an early start to be there - you deserved better than that. Enjoy your meal Durham, don't leave a tip! | |

Why the hell did we let lyle Taylor go? Time for those in charge of recruitment to go. Maybe we could get Wickham or ladapo in at so.e point? |  |

The first time I've seen Colchester United play this season. Extremely disappointing and unimpressive. |  | | |

Read and Lisbie being subbed baffling considering we were behind. Last ten showed how naive academy players can be without the experience at the next level.
Return of a bottom of the league scrap unless we can fast start winning home games to start.
Free agent centre forward desperately required . |  |

I felt sorry for the 200 from Colchester plus the three of us.
Quietest I've known the supporters and we played poorly throughout.
The hospitality and meal were superb.
Team never got going.
So disappointing. | |

Everything about the day bar the scoreline was excellent!
Home safe and recovering. | |

Searching for crumbs of comfort, but I think Araujo is going to do well. Some excellent long balls today. I predict he's going to be the Col U van Dijk... |  | | |
