Not enough punch in the vital final third.
Changes required from the bench.

Reply | Super U's get off to a great start at Boundary Park with three valuable points

It's ironic that we now have four/five decent strikers.
I'm torn on the Tovide issue.
We will probably never know the truth about the medical.
It seems that Luton only wanted to pay £250k instead of the £450k that we wanted.
Have the Cowleys already decided that we would be losing Samson and so their plans have now changed.
I like Lisbie Williams Goodwin and Tovide but does Samson deserve it expect a start when he wants away I'm just not sure.
Anyway three points is the order of the day.

Thread | Super U's get off to a great start at Boundary Park with three valuable points
at 20:48 8 Aug 2025
Now I watched from the comfort of my armchair the season opener at home to Tranmere Rovers on Sky Sports+.
First half was both disappointing and slow but second half DC made some key and brave interventions and those proved critical as we deservedly equalised through Kyreece Lisbie who is going to be a star striker for the U’s this year.
Another 5 minutes and we would have won the game.
Tomorrow we travel to Boundary Park Oldham led by Micky Mellon.
My son and daughter in law are taking me in the car and I have my new Away shirt and very good it is too.
He will be keen to get off to a good home start against the Super U’s. Former U Luke Hannant might play otherwise seasoned U’s supporters will be familiar with several of the Latics playing staff.
Away supporters have been moved to the Chadderton end for the last couple of visits. Expect a decent and partizan crowd. I have been visiting Boundary Park for many years and it is very good to be reassociated with them after three years away from the league.
Tomorrow will be exacting. Oldham took a point from MK Dons (who have emerged as the bookies favourites for promotion). Frankly I don’t buy into that.
Ahead of the Oxford Carabao Cup game (televised) we should be looking to secure a vital away win. That is without any disrespect to the Latics.
Early days of course
DC is still deciding upon his first XI
But let’s go with 4,4,2
Macey
Baldwin Tucker Flanagan Powell
Thorn Bishop Perry Edwards
Lisbie Williams
Subs:
Smith Goodwin Akande Tovide Gordon Read KVY
Weather will be sunny intervals with a moderate breeze and 19 degrees Celsius.
Safe journey to all the travelling faithful.
Prediction 3-1 to the Super U’s with Edwards, Lisbie and Wiliams all on the scoresheet.

Let's be positive Tovide is our player and he stays for now so he can play at Boundary Park.

LT to Chelmsford.
We now wait out on Tovide.
It's up to him to buckle down play for the team and get fit.
My view on LT is that he did a great job for Colchester but he is not the future of the club.
We move on.
And this is the perfect time to play the Latics.
Three points at Boundary Park will be ideal.

Thread | Colchester to start with morale boosting win against Tranmere at the JCS
at 12:06 2 Aug 2025
As we prepare to embark on our 10th season in League two there must be incredible optimism amongst the club, management, players and supporters that this season the Cowleys can guide us to promotion to league one.
Lat season amongst the 92 clubs Colchester’s increase in attendance was the 3rd highest in percentage terms.
We entertain Tranmere Rovers who struggled last season and now have Andy Crosby in charge at Prenton Park.
We will once again be able to watch over 20 U’s games on Sky Sports including today’s opener plus Carabao Cup and Vertu Trophy games.
Today is all about a bright and winning start for Colchester and I am predicting a 2-0 home victory with Goodwin (Godwin’s on fire) and Tovide on the scoresheet.
I think that the Cowleys have invested wisely during the summer. Ben Perry from Nottingham Forest, Will Goodwin from Oxford United and Jaden Williams from Spurs will be useful additions.
Taking the injuries into account first. Milton Oni will remain sidelined until November. Ellls Iandolo is out for 12 weeks with a knee injury. Jack Payne is back in training but there is no word on Dominic Gape who also has a soft tissue injury.
Now for more positive news. We have on paper the strongest looking strike force for many years. Will Goodwin, Jaden Williams, Samson Tovide, Kyreece Lisbie will present the opposition with many headaches over the season.
Supported by Owura Edwards, Oscar Thorn, John Kymani Gordon, Harry Edwards, Kane Vincent Young, Ben Perry, Teddy Bishop, Adrian Akande.
The defence looks to need some strengthening where we have Tom Flanagan, Rob Hunt, Kurai Musanhi, Jack Turner and Frankie Terry.
So, who will Danny Cowley select
For his squad today.
I’m going with
Macey
Hunt, Flanagan Tucker, Terry
Perry Bishop Read
Edwards Goodwin Tovide
Subs:
Smith, Thorn, Vincent-Young, Williams, Anderson, Akande, Lisbie
Expect a great turnout from the faithful today with 300 from the Wirral.
Get right behind the team and roar them onto victory.
Oh, and my outcome for the season. Promotion via the Play Offs.

Panic over.
I thought wrongly that Peterboro had poached Kyreece Lisbie from Colchester when it was his twin brother Kyrell that they have signed.
Kyreece is still at Colchester.
PS I still don't like Peterboro or their approach to developing young footballers but we still have Kyreece which is great news.

Wessex spot on
I am incandescent.
It was a total shambles.
Tuchel is not the answer.
Ivan Toney given three minutes unbelievable.
1966 seems aeons ago and we have regressed under this German.
Still we might have the two Bellingham's in midfield next year.
Anyway enough I'm still fuming. |
