Colchester v Doncaster

Obviously there's a whole summer of recruitment to come, but considering how relatively easy both Doncaster and Bradford have gone from utter shite to play-off contenders in such short spaces of time tells you how weak this league is, especially once you take out the big guns at the top.

There isn't a whole lot of strength coming down from League One and whilst Chesterfield might make a go of it, I can't see any of the Conference play-off 6 5 offering a threat.  

Could be a League Two that's there for taking.


Looking forward to actually watching Town on Saturday with no pressure and enjoying seeing the results come in and how it pans out.  Would prefer Colchester to go down, mainly because I just can't get on board with the Cowley's and it would be ironic considering there was such a demand for them to be appointed here in November.  That said, Steve Morrison at Sutton is also odious so it's a win-win situation really.

Shows you really don’t have to be that good to get in the play offs in this league. Bradford were fücking terrible when we played them recently.

Utterly dreaful one of the worst teams I have seen at home this season and it wasnt all that long ago crazy they have a chance. Hope they dont make it

Quoted from RichMariner

That’s an incredible turnaround. Donny had such a slow start, they looked genuine relegation contenders until Feb.

I've seen Donny eight times this season in various competitions and they've won six. I never thought their league position reflected some of the ability they had. Ironside was knocking in plenty of goals and they could conjure up three points here and there. They stuffed franchisescum on 1st January.

They were always going to turn us over in February. The only poor performances I saw were in beating us 1 0 and losing at home to Bradford. My Donny friends thought we would win in the week before our home game against them but I didn't have any doubts.

I personally hope they go up because I don't want to see them turn us over at home yet again and it'll keep my friends happy.

They have much more competitively priced cup tickets which is when I usually turn up. In the range of £5 to £10 for a 60+ depending on the competition.

All it's taken is a couple of players that made the difference for Doncaster. Adelakun, Craig and Lo Tutala have made a massive difference to them. Adelakun is one of the best players i've seen at BP this season, we couldn't get anywhere near him. Up there with Jodi Jones.

Adelukun is on loan from us - Clearly more suited to L2 - Possibly be a few clubs in for him now..

The few Colchester fans who bother to post on their fans forum* are scathing about the Cowleys. We perhaps dodged a bullet there if they were ever in the frame.

One comment made me laugh - Danny Cowley shouts non stop for 90 odd minutes but the players have stopped listening. So would I if I had a lunatic jack in the box bawling instructions non stop.

* What a dismal forum it is. All over the shop, not phone friendly and hardly anybody on it. Rob deserves a lot of credit for the simplicity and clarity of the Fishy, and the number of posts show there is great interest in GTFC unlike some of our league 2 rivals.

So, for Colchester to go down we need a 2 goal defeat from them home to Crewe and a 2 goal win for Sutton at MK Dons
(who have nothing to play for). A long shot but stranger things have happened.

Sutton have an extra point following THAT penalty!

I took a look at it the other week after our game and thought that maybe they used another more popular one than the one we have in our links

There are two Colchester forums I think. There's this one which is pretty much dead >> https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/colchesterunited/forum/
... and this other one which seems much more active from the number of users currently online, but you need to register to read it >> http://www.cu-fcchat.com/
