Background

It is fair to say that unfortunately Wycombe have had the better of our various cup encounters over the years, with the U’s solitary win only coming after very late extra-time winner.

Both Colchester and Wycombe faced relegated Championship teams on the opening day of the season: the U’s beat Preston 4-2 at Deepdale while Wycombe held S****hrope to a 1-1 draw at Adams Park.

Team News

Injuries - Jordan Sanderson (Broken Foot)
Doubts - Ben Williams (Virus) and Andy Bond (Head)
Debuts - Tom Eastman and Karl Duguid

Please share your predictions, observations, thoughts and line-ups.

 

Cheers for the thread Mike.

So much depends on what teams the managers put out which, to some extent, will indicate just how interested they are in this cup this year. Hopefully we'll have some of our youngsters on show to see if they are up to it.

I think points will be more important to us this year in an attempt to steer well clear of the relegation zone come the latter part of the season, so avoiding injuries will be the highest priority.

If I have to make a prediction I will go for Wycombe 1 Colchester 4.

Ron, Ron, da do da Ron, think your being a bit generous there, like Wycombe, i would'nt expect to see our same 11 start tomorrow, probably include the likes of Baldwin,Duguid and a couple of youth teamers. Bragging rights are the only thing at stake, Saturdays the meaningfull game, bring it on.

 

We have suffered some big losses in cup games (although I think mainly in the Paint Drying Cup) so it wouldn't surprise me. As you say, Saturday is the real one and I'll settle for a point there.

 

Hey mike, just go confirm IANNNNNNNN HENNDERRRRRSOOONNNNNNNNNN Is still the greatest player of all time?

I hope colu win cos I want to see them in later rounds cos we'd beat you 10-0 easy mate.

 

Beefy, are you making a statement; "Ian Henderson is still the greatest player of all time"
or asking a question; " Is Ian Henderso still the greatest player of all time"

It's just that this ; "Just go confirm IANNNNNNNN HENNDERSOOONNNNNNNN is still the greatest player of all time?, makes no sense at all.

Nice to hear from you again, enjoy life back in the prem.

 

i agree with monarch saturday is the main game.mike its nice to see our record in the cup games takes the p*ss out of the guys from essex.

 

Bul; McCoy, Johnson, Winfield, Sandell; Harris, Harding, (Halls/Bloomers/Lewis??), Grant; Beavon, McClure

That's my guess, although wouldn't be surprised to see Stewart start at CB instead of big Dave.

 

good shout josh ,i also think he might try out the young goalie ingram

 

Does the 15yo qualify to come on as a substitute, or is he too young to be on a contract?

Interesting thread. Didnt realise we had such a good record against Colu. Should be a good game tonight, hopefully open, attacking football. But you are all right of course, the proper game is on Saturday

 

Oh when the blues go 2-0 up oh when the blues go 2-0 up I want to be in that number...
Looks like good record is set to continue!

 

Whoops, HT. 2--2.

 

Just seen the attendance: 1,430................ pathetic...

 

Noticed you live in Murcia monarch, I lived on the outskirts of Murcia in a place called El Palmar for a year. Have you heard of it? I used to go to a private english speaking school there.

 

3-3 Penalties now. Anyones victory! Sounds like an entertaining game!

 

Yee Ha. Well done Wycombe! Hero Bully again. Fantastic.

 

Wycombe win 5-4 on penalties. Saturday will be another interesting encounter no doubt. Wycome started off with a lot of chances on goal but then Colchester seemed to have a majoritiy of the shots until the closing stages, it will be interesting on Saturday when Colchester are at home.

 

DevonBeale, please send details of Wycombe supporters club, sounds like a good game tonight, lets hope for something similar on Saturday (Different result).
