Sat 1st Nov 2014, Colchester U v Port Vale, pre-match, the match itself.

I have decided not to take the chance, I won't be going!

I don't think some people realise just what a good little footballing side Colchester are.

 

They play some really good football and have some very dangerous players (Sears, Massey, Watt, Vose).

 

If we underestimate them, I can see a lot of people being both surprised and disappointed come 5pm tomorrow.

 

Who's underestimating them? They can't be that good their 2 points ahead of us and we've been *****!

They have been rather unlucky in games according to their fans and they're a young side. They only recently sacked their manager after a poor start and they're starting to build themselves up under the new boss. They'll be a tough nut to crack.

 

Who's underestimating them? Oh, I don't know... The people who reckon that 3 points are a certainty as long as we start with the side that finished the game against Leyton Orient? Those people.

Isn't our away record like 1 win in 28 or something? Idk Either way a win would be a very good result

[Samwelo]

Isn't Zubar still suspended?

 

Not that it's necessarily true, but I was told Zubar returned to his parent club as his loan ran out before his suspension did?

[Rampant Zebra]

I thought I had read that somewhere actually!

That's not good news

[boltonsno1]

I wonder who the captain will be tomorrow?

duffy I guess

 

will be a tough game but can definitely win, going for 2-1 vale UTV

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

I wonder who the captain will be tomorrow?

 

Would guess at Duffy, didn't he take over 2nd half last week?

[Rudge's Flat Cap]

Perhaps a little too much optimism. Our away record is poor in League 1, particularly when travelling long distances. Colchester are unbeaten in four and are clear favourites. We have a good chance though, a win certainly possible.

[Rampant Zebra]

Past results are no guide to future performances. If they are complacent and we are determined it could go our way.

True that. One of Micky's failings was picking the team that won the last game, not the team that will win the next

Agree. We can win this one and buck the trend. Kick start a good recovery by Vale. Everyone in this Division is capable of beating each other, depending on frame of mind usually. I think Vale are up for this. 1-0 to us.

Would be good to win this. We could potentially go into the top half with a win!
