I just don't understand Peterboro.
Lisbie has just signed on a three year deal from Braintree.
What is the attraction of London Road.
They have a shocking record of developing young players.
They are a shocking club with owner and management to boot.
Loathe entirely. [Post edited 29 May 19:35]

I agree Wessex it was a competitive game
The winning goal might have been saved by the keeper but Charlton did deserve to win even though I dislike Nathan Jones intensely.
My must strive for promotion to league one next season.

Wessex are you going to the FGR match tomorrow.
If so cheer them to victory.
Difficult to fathom how York imploded today. I thought they were nailed on to go up.
As a Northern Exile I have to favour Oldham now. We have a decent record at Boundary Park.

I watched the keenly contested play off game between Charlton and Wyscum.
Charlton deserved to win but what a prat Nathan Jones is. His histrionics were embarrassing culminating in that ridiculous kneeling moment just prior to the end of the game.
Go Orient in the final. |

I totally agree that York City should be promoted.
Their new stadium is very impressive and has replaced the old Bootham Crescent which I remember with a degree of affection.

My son David and I were not too crestfallen after the game realising that the damage was done when we failed to win some eminently winnable games previously.
Delighted for Matt Macey who secured a record breaking 21 clean sheets.
Plenty to think about ahead of next season.
Lisbie and Thorn must be starters next season
Lisbie's pace to secure the goal scoring that he was denied would have made Usain Bolt look like a cart horse and Oscar Thorn is a real talent.
If Milton Oni is fit in August then he will add some amazing talent in midfield.
I thought DC spoke well after the game and the Cowleys have achieved great things this season.
I didn't see RC at the game, was he there today.
Anyway travelling home tomorrow.
I reckon Wimbledon will go up via the Play Offs

Started brightly and the 6-0 was on.
Slumped somewhat before half time.
There is still hope.
Accrington need an equaliser.
Lisbie must go up top with Tovide.
Oscar Thorn is outstanding.
Come on.
Pitch is the best I have seen it all season!

Wessex I would take those three predicted scores tomorrow.
I want Colchester to not only win but also to score those six goals which will send everyone home happy.
DC needs to attack tomorrow and wouldn't it be nice to sign off with a huge win after some recent poor results which have dampened our otherwise great season.
Safe journey.
Enjoy the game

I have spoken to him on the telephone for a long time now but have never met him.
He is a great ambassador for the club. Very efficient and obliging regarding U's tickets.
And nine times out of ten the tickets arrive with me through the post the next day.
He will be sadly missed by everyone staff and supporters alike. He sounds to have a young voice so I hope that he is moving on to another successful career.

Thread | Bluebirds to be annihilated by resurgent super U' s at the JCS
at 10:14 2 May 2025
The magnificent support from the faithful at home to Crewe and Away at Doncaster and Salford ultimately counted for nothing as the U’s only secured one point from the Easter Fixtures.
The missed penalty at home to Crewe might have cost us a place in the play offs but over a season one incident should not be blamed for glorious failure. Several matches could be cited as leading to the failure; the Accrington game and Harrogate Away but there will be others that have contributed.
Worse still injuries towards the end of the season have taken away the spine of the team with McDonnell, Bishop, Payne, Tovide and Taylor all injured at the worst possible time.
But today is not about pessimism or regret it is about celebration of a marvellous season where the Cowleys have transformed a relegation threatened team to potential play off candidates.
This has happened over about 16 months and the fact that this weekend if we defeat Barrow and three other results go our way then we can sneak into seventh place in the play offs and who knows what may happen after that.
Last week at Moor Lane we saw Caoimhim Kelleher (Fiacre’s younger brother.) He was happy to pose for photos and wandered nonchalantly back to his car after the game.
Table:
Doncaster 45 81 +22
PV 45 80 +20
Bradford 45 75 +18
Walsall 45 74 +20
Notts Co 45 72 +20
Wimbledon 45 70 +20
Salford 45 68 +10
Grimsby 45 68 -5
Chesterfield 45 67 +18
COL U 44 66 +5
Those fixtures:
Accrington v Chesterfield (to lose or draw)
Carlisle v Salford (to lose or draw*)
Grimsby (to lose or draw) v Wimbledon
And of course:
Colchester (to win) v Barrow (should we win 6-0* then we could allow Salford to draw at Brunton Park).
Forget about that game on the last day when we defeated Barrow 5-0 although that would be nice. I will take any victory and then Chesterfield, Salford and Grimsby to slip up.
Well of course it has been done before.
Ten years ago, we played host to PNE on the last day of the season requiring not only a win but also for three results to also go our way.
Crawley at home to Coventry
Notts Co at Gillingham
Orient at Swindon
PNE were unbeaten for 18 games and wanted automatic promotion. 8,413 were packed into the then Weston Homes Stadium and witnessed a U’s penalty miss before great work from Chris Porter set up George Moncur who secured the winning goal.
Crawley lost 2-1, Notts Co lost 2-1 and Orient drew 2-2 meaning that all three were relegated with already doomed Yeovil Town.
Stranger things well let’s see at 4:50pm on Saturday.
Weather tomorrow at the JCS will be 19 degrees Celsius and sunny. The infamous pitch should look a picture and will play its part in a U’s win.
Essentially there is no pressure on Colchester because when they trudged off at Salford it was all over. But who really knows what will happen on this Saturday afternoon?
Well, I’m going for a 6-0 Colchester victory (which allows Salford to sneak a draw against Mark Hughes). Lets sign off in style after a tremendous season which has seen the U’s deserving of a play off spot and hopefully they will achieve it.
Tovide hattrick, Payne and Thorn to complete the rout in front of a near 8,000 crowd.
But who does NC play. The injuries and sticking plasters have been applied and I would hope that we can see the following take the field in a 4,3,3 formation. After all we have nothing to lose and require a win. Let’s send the faithful home happy whatever happens at Accrington, Carlisle or Grimsby respectively.
Macey
Egbo Kells Flanagan Iandolo
Read Payne Bishop
Thorn Tovide Lisbie
Subs:
Smith, Hunt, KVY, Scully, Simpson, Tucker, Gordon
Now no disrespect to Andy Whing and his Blue Bird team, but they are already on the beach and I expect the U’s to defeat them at fortress JCS.
Looking to next season I see that Peterborough have said that Bradley Ihionvien has no future at London Road (what a waste). I would have him back notwithstanding the fact that he has been wasted with them this season.
Really looking forward to the game. Some retail therapy in the shop and perhaps meeting up with some of the U’s stalwarts. We will be in W2 (as normal for a home match).
Enjoy the game.
Up the U’s
All the way to League one!
Nurse, my medication please!

It is going to be special at the JCS on Saturday.
Really looking forward to the game.
Situation is simple we must win and three other results go our way.
It's never over until it's over.
Safe journey to everyone travelling to the match.

Gerry it's awful.
We simply haven't turned up.
We've made Salford look like world beaters.
Thorn scored but it was disallowed but I still don't know why.
I am absolutely gutted.
Changes must be made
Lisbie to play up top with Tovide and Thorn second half.
Take off Gordon.
Flanagan to blame for number two.
It is a horror show
However if we score early doors we can come back in this game
But how much do we want this.
