    I'm back and again can't keep a lead

    Shouldn't this thread be "I'm back again from the pub"? Absolute classic.

    Pompey Match Thread

    Overall a decent performance. Body blow to lose so late but Wood and Edge are always liable make errors as they aren't that good. Unlucky we didn't have a couple more goals and on another day we would have had 3 pts. We are making steady progress and I'm relatively happy despite the late error.

    JPT or FA CUP?

    This is very true Otis. Getting away from the bottom where teams aren't getting many points is much easier than closing the gap at the top. We are showing great form at present and have barely closed the gap on the top 6. We have a very difficult December which will either get us way too excited...

    JPT or FA CUP?

    I know I'm bringing 2 kids (neither support City and 1 has never been to a game before) and my old man to JPT due to the cheapness but when I went online to check availibility in the one stand available I find it nearly empty.

    JPT or FA CUP?

    Understand that but considering the cost or lack of to get in I would suggest about 2000 sold for JPT and maybe 3000 for FA Cup to date. That's pretty rubbish even with a decent walk up.

    JPT or FA CUP?

    Answering the OP. Looking at the amount of tickets we have sold for both games so far I would suggest the general concesus must be neither.

    Call to arms

    Look, I'm not one of your overly optimistic types but even I can see we are starting to gather some momentum. If people want us to have any chance of getting out of this league then they need to start turning up when things are looking more positive. I understand only sad arses like myself turn...

    Loan signings

    You are allowed to loan 4 players under 23, 4 players over 23 within the standard loan system during any one season (if any of these players are signed by you during the loan period they don't count against the number of loans you can have). Also any player under 20 can be taken on a youth loan...

    Call to arms

    I will be there are per usual but I looked online today at the ticket sales to see how things were shaping up and it looks as shit as ever with more than 2/3 empty. Portsmouth wont bring more than a 1,000 and I would be surprised if we get 11,000 total and that really pisses me off. I hope there...

    Banners and chants needed on Sat

    I think you've got 2 claps missing but I agree with the sentiment

    20 points from last 11 league games...

    How many times have we got up some momentum in the past and come to a big home game and make a mess of it. Please let this one go our way. How many do you reckon will turn up for it? I still don't think the crowd will be that great but I'm going for 12,000

    COLCHESTER MATCH THREAD - let's go

    Ooh Can you hear that? It's the sound of pessimists shuffling towards the realists and the realists moving towards optimists and optimists sounding slightly smug. What a great week. Lets keep it going.

    COLCHESTER MATCH THREAD - let's go

    Totally agree. By the end of December if we have closed the gap and are still in the hunt I will start to get excited. I'm excited now to be honest but I'm in denial for health reasons.

    Has anyone noticed?

    I'm sure Robins will bring it in. String 2 passes together in training and become this weeks Best Boy. Highly motivating, "Thanks Gaffer".

    Has anyone noticed?

    Footballers really are a strange breed. I can't imagine normal people calling their boss "gaffer". You'd come across like a total queer. What the hell is wrong with using his name? Its like they're still at school.

    Players wages

    If you base it on approx £4M wage budget for this season and correct me but approx 38 players in the squad = £2k per week average. There will be a few obviously higher but offset by some lower wages and of course we will be paying only a percentage of what some of loans are being payed. The...

    play off Form?

    If you look at the stats for the whole of October we are 14th in the form table. 3 games later we've beaten the bottom team are up to 16th in the league and people are starting to book hotels for our qualification in to Europe. If you look at the last 9 games Colchester are 3rd in the form guide...
