Genuinely can't remember the Smith one whether it was deserved or not but the other two from Conlon and Crazy Cov were complete and utter acts of stupidity so wouldn't read much into that.

Last man in the FA Cup, think Ojo sold him short! Had to play 80 minutes with 10 men and Burton barely tested us... 

I’m not one for predictions plus not sure what to think about this one.  They have a few decent players, on the proverbial paper.  We’re making plenty of chances but do like to leave the back door open giving teams a chance themselves.  Given our current form and their recent tonking maybe they’ll park the bus and try to pinch a goal?  You’d have to think the squad will be rotated but I hope DM doesn’t make too many changes, which could upset the balance.

In Saturdays line up they had 3 Swindon ' friends '.

Egbo, Iandolo and Payne. 

Let's get on them every time they touch it.

Although Egbo might go crying to the F.A . 

Is the game at risk at all?  It’s been pissing down for ages. 

They are not going to need to water the pitch then!

Very confident we'll get the job done, even though we seem to have a poor record in mid-week games. Colchester try to play football which, on a large pitch, will suit us much better than playing the likes of Accrington on a pitch the size of a boxing ring.

Wonder if Moore is thinking about tinkering a bit and bringing in a couple of fresh players? I can see Chislett coming in for Hackford for one. Is Benicio injured, anyone?

I have to be honest but i must be the only one who hasn't really been impressed with BBB

Was speaking with a Walsall fan yesterday. Seems Colchester are a side that tries to play football but aren't overly physical. Think that may play into our hands as we seemed to have found a good balance between the two approaches.

The stats of L2 season so far tell me they are very similar to us how they want to play. They put a lot crosses into the box and have had the most shots per match this season. This is going to be a really rough game tomorrow.

If we go with the same formation as Saturday I’d like to see Paton given an opportunity alongside Stockley.

Should we switch to a back 4 I’d like to see Curtis and Chizzy in the team.

Going to be interesting to see how DM manages the squad. I would expect him to have an idea how he wants to approach tomorrow and Notts County picking the team accordingly to keep the players fresh.

Benicio could be a good shout for Notts County with his pace.

I think we've only seen glimpses so far, but his potential is obvious. He will be much better suited playing at home on a big pitch rather than away to a team like Accrington where there's little time and space to play, where he struggled. But at minimum he's a fantastic option to have to bring off the bench when the opposition are tiring.

Hopefully Connor Hall’s got some inside info on the Cowley’s and all the Colchester squad we can use to further exploit any weaknesses.

Seem to create plenty but also give you plenty of chances themselves. We could do with finally being a but more ruthless tomorrow as we haven't always been taking our chances. No doubt they would tell you the same.

I think it's a work in progress. To me the Team is going to get better and better. With the Fans being the 12th Man will make a big difference. No wonder Notts County don't want to sell the Vale anymore tickets. But something should be done to smooth them over. If Port vale can take 4,000 or 5,000 than that's revenue you cannot turn away.
