The relegation mini-league

[dusterman]

Typical we should be about 4 goals up but like you we haven’t got a decent striker who can hit the target! Oh well more struggle to come for both of our sides, its going to be a tight finish!

We’re down. I’d worry more about Grimsby...

Port Vale making a nonsense of the new manager bounce, 5 in a row now!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

We need to end our record against Morecambe, as we played them 11, lost 10 and draw 1, if there is an best time to get an result, it’s tomorrow.

We had an strong SUFC side under Sturrock and PB, while Morecambe was the worst side in League 2, yet they still beat us, like in last game to stop us finishing 3rd!

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Final score 1-1 we sat back for too long instead of trying to score again, we never learn!

We Played Morecambe in the cup at Morecambe, and beat them

 

[Tribal Chief]

If we win tomorrow, we are right back in with a chance. But how many ****ing times have we said that.

The new manager brought Theo in from the cold and they have won every game since then!

More chance of beating creepy than the shrimps

Tomorrow is a must win! Barrow late goal might have given us that shot of confidence we need.

3 points from his first 21 available. Vale had a lot of injuries

Don't be too hard on yourself...... We do that from the start

Yeah Theo in the middle and David Worrall on the right by the look of it. He knows this league and how to set up his teams maybe?

the worst of it was, once we equalised there was no attacking at all from you - it's like you were happy taking a point rather than risking getting none by attacking and getting caught.

We know all about doing that.

If wasn’t for our away form, we would be cast adrift at the bottom, just hope we pick up another result. It’s about time we start Mellia in midfield.

 

[Dwhite99]

Morecambe are right back in playoffs if they win tomorrow,they will be right up for it especially seeing the other results around the playoff places.

 

[MisterStubbs]

I’d be slightly more confident of surviving the drop if it weren’t for the fact we have a **** manager and an even ****ter playing squad. We’ve got to somehow make up 6 points in 7 games.. not happening.

 

[Chapperz]

Due to goal difference, we are effectively 7 behind Col U and 8 behind Barrow and with only 7 games to go.

That makes the two games against those immediately above us must wins. Anything other than 6 points from those games and the slim chance we have of staying up goes.

Of the five other games, we have Morecambe (A), Crawley (H), Exeter (A), Orient (H), and Newport (H). Our home form is shocking and the worst in the league and can at best see us getting 2 or 3 points from those home games. The away games are tough, Morecambe and Exeter are both good at home (4th and 6th best in the league) and can't see us getting anything from those games.

Best I can see us doing is 9 points from remaining 7 games. In my opinion, we are down and waiting for the bell to ring.

 

[Stanbridge]

I can certainly see why you have picked up so many late points. After your 88th minute equaliser I fully expected Barrow to see out the game, taking no risks and very glad of getting one point. Instead, you played like a team hell-bent on getting a winner. No chance of Barrow getting relegated IMO.

Theo is such an underrated player, he's terrible at scoring himself but his movement is so good it drags defenders out of position and gives his strike partners a much easier job.
