    Just back from the game, finished 1-1 , Colchester were on top in the first half, but had a strong wind behind them, though only created a couple of chances which Mannion pulled off a couple of good saves.

    Second half we were the better side for the first 30-35 minutes, we got the penalty mid way through the 2nd half, hand ball which was a bit harsh, but Bowen put it way masterfully left footed into the top right corner For the last 10 minutes then Colchester start to push for the equaliser and it duly got it with about 5 minutes to go, scrappy goal, ball just wasn't cleared and was bouncing around in the penalty area, and put away Mannion could no nothing about it..

    Colchester shaded it for me, not a bad side, so a draw was a fair result. Stand out performers from our side, Mannion, Bowen, Tymon and Olley looked lively.

    That's ridiculous really
    Presumably that requires planning to pick it up too

    Yes I had to pick it up at the ground before the game. They have had all summer to do this, it's absolute nonsense, and just typifies the way the Allams run there businesses. Run with the minimum of staff and probably not good enough quality of people, because they pay bottom end salaries.

    All very true
    I have to say picking it up beforehand would require a degree of organisation I'd struggle with on match days. Couldn't they post it to William Gemmels?!

    Good idea, though probably would be vetoed by the Allams, being the hot bed of dissidents of HCST.<laugh>

    Where did you hear the Allams pay 'bottom end salaries' ?

    I've no idea what they pay at Allam Marine, but they're proper cheapskates at City (other than the playing staff obviously).

    I liked the look of him as a trialist. Surprised he hasn't made the first team bench. Big lad holds it up well and good in the air.

    Do we know the starting eleven for today's match? It's fair to assume none of the starters will be playing tomorrow at Exeter.

    The lads currently on the bench for first team games aren't being considered for U23 games.
