March Fixtures 2021

[Tangled up in Blue]

Can see Barrow winning that 1 if I'm honest.

Think the phrase was "picking up points".Presumably both teams might nick a point.

All the time Grimsby and Barrow have got games in hand on us it's gonna be a worry.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Barrow - home to Harrogate Town
Grimsby - home to Leyton Orient

Both winnable.

I see orient beating grimsby. I dont rate grimsby at all!

 

[LI11]

Hopefully Orient get a bit of a bounce after sacking their manager.
for us, Oldham have the second worst home record in the league this season. I expect three points there but then again I feel we are really unpredictable
10 points would be a decent haul

It's only really Salford who have a decent home record in this league. I think with no fans has played it's part on teams home form...... Cheltenham home form ain't that great to be honest. I honestly feel we can get atleast 4 points from next 2 away games.

Orient's form is pretty poor (as is Grimsby's of course) - in a league where it appears anyone can beat anyone, what you don't want to be doing is playing a form team, and neither Harrogate or Orient are, imo, on form - therefore I think Grimsby and/or Barrow will pick up point(s). Orient have just sacked their manager, so hopefully there'll be a new manager bounce

I can see Barrow picking up points, can see Barrow going on bit of winning run. Orient new manager will work at grimsby but as you pointed out anyone can beat anyone.

Been thinking for a while March is a very important run of fixtures. Not that every game isn't important now, but with who we are playing we have a real opportunity to gain ground on those within 10 points of us and drag some people a touch further into view of the trap door than they would want to be.

In our improved form post embargo im looking at Oldham, Walsall, Scunthorpe, and Harrogate and thinking there is no reason we can't take 12 points from those.

Up the blues

 

[The Big Dady]

So February we achieved 8 points out of a possible 15.



Now on to March with 21 points available

That was a very good total from just 5 games, especially when you look back at the fixtures.

A reasonable target for March.....8 would see still see us in with a chance, 10/11 should see us clear of any relegation places. Beyond that then its not just sheep that will be nervous around the town of Colchester.

After Cheltenham that is a decently winnable run of matches.

Tranmere looks harder than Cheltenham.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

On to Oldham on Saturday.

Oldham lost as well last night and had a man sent off.

Always good to see Peter Clarke of course.

No, Peter is at the upward moving Tranmere now.
Shame that Scunny, SteveB and Col Ewe won last night with Vale now closest to the trap door and us.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

No, Peter is at the upward moving Tranmere now.

We were shocking in the 1st half last night and were deservedly losing 1-0, but in the 2nd half we improved, scored the penalty and then played the best we have in months. Maybe Wayne Brown is working his magic and we are set for a decent run of results, Newport Saturday which could be a tough game.

 

[Shrimper]

I can see us beating Scunthorpe and Walsall and drawing vs Stevenage. 7 points. Safe.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Oh! I didn't know that - what a career that man has had.

 

[Barling Magna]

Having got the Cheltenham game out of the way we now face a run of, on paper, less tough fixtures. Over the next half a dozen games we need to put some clear blue water between ourselves and Barrow and Grimsby, and hopefully sneak up on Port Vale too. Come on lads!!!

 

[Holy Joe]

I can see both Barrow and Grimsby picking up points on Tuesday. Hope they don't but I don't think they've got anywhere near as a tough a game as us.

Barrow home to Mansfield and Grimsby home to FGR today - I can see both picking up points.

 

[damien]

Must win today to kick off this run of games with a bang. Come on you blues
