FACT! 40% of Charles 'Vernham' Vernam's career goals in the Football League have come at Colchester United.

Another one of those same time tomorrow.


I did wonder if maybe you needed a new calculator Abdul  

But  ( doing a Pete )

His first one for us was at their place two years ago

Good work statto!

https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2020/february/extended-highlights---colchester-united/
just watched the highlights. couple of points

1) looked like a handball from Waterfall (?)as he blocked the shot in the box
2) bit sorry for Ohman - Glennon missed the header which put us in trouble, then got Ohman's way as he tried to clear
3) 10 passes for the first Vernhams (!) goal, a thing of beauty in itself
4) bit pisssed off that the cheating, diving Theo robinson (was a disgrace at Swindon last year) got on the score sheet
5) is this one of the longest match threads ever?

Quoted from MuddyWaters
You win games by scoring goals and playing your best players not sending them on loan to the team at the bottom of the National League. Simple really.


Vernam clearly needed that shot in the arm in terms of confidence which he clearly wasn't getting at Town at that stage... I felt some of the fans had already made the kind up about Charles and he probably felt that. Going out on loan was the right move for me... The question is would Jolly have brought him back into the fold... I don't think he would have and like some of the fans had probably already decided he didn't fit in.

Did look like a bit of a foul by Hanson before our 2nd equaliser and I'm surprised the ref didn't give it the way he was blowing for every little thing when one of their players fell over.

Sending him off to Chorley was one of the few things Jolley did right. He was a star there and could play just as he wanted. Then brilliantly for him, Holloway arrives and Vernam gets played in the way he needs. Perhaps the lad deserved that bit of luck considering his injuries. Not sure whether he reminds me more of Reddy or Quick Mick Boulding.
