If we keep on picking up points in the way we have over the last few games we will be fine. April has very tough fixtures for both FGR and Colchester.

Quoted from chaos33
Walsall need to beat Colchester really. They’re one point outside the play offs and competing for the 7th place last play off spot with at least 6 other clubs. This is a very winnable game for them. Pressure on Colchester. The improvement of others during their inaction, preceded by poor form and they’re suddenly in the bottom two and desperate for points.

I reckon most people will expect FGR to beat Sutton.Any sort of a result tomorrow for us and I’d be happy…IF…. Walsall beat Colchester.


I reckon Sutton will get at least a point, probably all three.


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

We're now 30+ games in and the EFL agree to a change in pitch size. I think the EFL are making a rod for their own back, especially from all those teams who have already played there, not gotten a result and may miss out on promotion/ or relegation.

Their complaint to the EFL will be it's not fair for some teams playing at Colchester on a different-sized pitch as them. I am not against Colchester changing their pitch size but surely it should be done in the close season so it is fair to all teams playing there.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

That’s bull. The pitch size is irrelevant for teams that have or have not played on it . It’s the same for both teams - on the day

I still think shortening the pitch is a tactic to make the long ball game more effective. Didn’t Cambridge do something similar a few years back when they had a long ball merchant in charge?

Was it John Beck in charge then? Used to have the grass longer in the corners of the pitch, too.

Colchester run in is the worst of the bottom 5

I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!
