Talking of penalties.....
I see Joe Taylor scored one Tues night for Hudds vs Donny in their 2-0 win!
One can dream of a Col U front line with the two Taylors playing together  |

Looking forward to when Cowley decides what his best starting XI is and having them all fit and playing the majority of matches.
Seems like August is still a pre-season spill over. JK Gordon nowhere to be seen and then suddenly starts, then gets dropped.
Lisbie scores a stunning equaliser in the first game of the season and then starts the next game - doesn't score, so has to make do with the bench. Comes on and scores!
KVY, Hunt, Thorn, Powell - in-out-in-out - shake it all about. Left back, right back - flip of a coin!
I guess it all comes down to fitness, still building up minutes in the legs, working out how Powell's legs can cope (I think that is what Cowley said in his interview).
As soon as the transfer window is over, we can then move on with the same consistent squad of players, and starters - that will help with consistent performances and hopefully positive results.
Until then - predicting the starting XI every week is as easy as picking the winning lottery numbers!
Just keep telling myself that it is a marathon and not a sprint! |

Experienced striker Macauley Bonne has left Southend United following the expiry of his contract.
The 29-year-old former Leyton Orient, Charlton, QPR and Gillingham player scored five goals for the Shrimpers last season to help them reach the National League play-off final. |

I see Brendan Wiredu scored for Plymouth Argyle as they came from 2-0 down to beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 in the Carabao Cup first round!
I wonder if he gave the Plymouth fans the old 'Duguid salute' that they deserved after he scored!  [Post edited 14 Aug 20:38]

Are you telling me that Gerry didn't go for 1-1!
He's a changed man in that case  |

Colchester United continued their pre-season preparations with a deserved 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Playford Road.
With a youthful side featuring several trialists and academy players, the U’s delivered a composed and spirited performance, securing the win thanks to a first-half penalty from Arthur Read.
The U’s lined up with Tom Smith in goal behind a central defensive pairing of Frankie Terry and Frankie Edwards, with Kane Vincent-Young on the left and Trialist A at right back. Arthur Read and Ronnie Harvey anchored the midfield, while Trialists B and JK Gordon flanked Trialist C in support of Samson Tovide up top.

KVY and Frankie Terry still playing for us without the announcements that they have signed or being called Tialist X & Z!
Also, an even younger Col U team drew 1-1 away at Braintree with an equalising goal coming from K. Martin after Former U's player J. Akinde scored the opener :
