I think our ineptitude in front of goal is a ploy to remove all opposition to Ched Evans coming back

Nigel Worthington resigns as York manager. Thanks for the twenty three match unbeaten run and the one win in fourteen it morphed into Nige x

I know the 23 match unbeaten run ended with York down the bottom of the table, but after that run following on from getting to the play-offs from a poor position last season, I assume that things must've been obviously on the rot? The only win in that 14 came against Stevenage, and Graham Westley's third spell in charge must see him with one of the worst records of any manager lasting longer than a season in League history, but he's soldiering on. I'm back home at the minute, I should've gone down the training ground and see if I could hear him audibly digging everyone out this morning.

Football's selectively fickle. Poor old Russ Wilcox, his reward for smashing an ancient record is to go and manage York. Meanwhile, quality opener here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_8-2ug12o The free kick at the end's pretty decent too, even if the keeper was asleep for it. E: Here's the official Colchester Survival Sears-O-Meter to accompany my prediction at the start of the thread:

Christ, Freddie's exceeding even my lofty expectations at present. His goal in the last game was pretty drat good, but this is even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAFFmhNdFK4&t=99s Updated Colchester Survival Sears-O-Meter™.

Since there's no proper FA Cup thread yet it seems like the perfect excuse to throw more content into here.    Lots of the home league teams also have away league opponents, but there's plenty of non-league home sides in there ready to kill a giant or two. Colchester, Bradford, Doncaster, Chesterfield, Preston and Scunthorpe could all be on the telly.

"Maintain" is a little generous, but there's a few reasons: Shrewd use of the loan market to grab unwanted Londoners, the Pride Of Essex, exorbitant ticket prices, very carefully.

Meh - having lost meekly on Saturday to Eastleigh thankfully we don't miss out on some plum tie. We once lost to Carlisle in the second round and they got Arsenal next. Worcester City get a nice tie at Coventry, shame it's not a home tie as we could steal the gate receipts - Worcester rent our ground out as they sold their old one and forgot to build a new one, not even got planning permission yet!

http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2014/oct/first-round-live-television-games-confirmed Televised FA Cup games are out. Bradford and Preston aren't too surprising, but then the BBC have Exeter, up against some rugby lot. Elsewhere, Gosport have happily rearranged their tie with Colchester to early Sunday afternoon, seemingly unaware that this isn't how televised matches work. (I know the real reason but this is funnier to me)

Italian haha he's from loving Chesterfield. But yeah we've noticed that he's doing well, it's causing a bit of aggro amongst our fans being as we've got hardly anything up front. Fickle young Nigel doesn't seem to like him very much though.

Ah right it's in this thread. I lived in Warrington for 12 years and this is blowing my mind. Praying for a fixture near where I live now, can't wait. It's plastic as gently caress but I have atleast been to Cantilever Park for a few games in the past. edit: #fuckrugbyleague

Let's do a little catch-up. It's getting a bit heated at the top, Notts County are doing stupidly well and it annoys me a tad, also annoying is the fact MK Dons are in the playoff spots while still having a million games in hand. In League Two, ol' JFH takes charge of his first game as Burton manager tonight, and Luton are maintaining the pace at the top, so good on them. Meanwhile, on the Sears front: The East Anglian Daily Times have obviously read the thread and decided to up the ante by suggesting he can score twenty goals, though in fairness my Sears-O-Meter™ is just for league goals, so maybe we'll both be right. Twelve already in November is pretty drat incredible though all things considered.

My heart bleeds for you. Actually, looking at it, it's a pain because MK Dons have enough games in hand to go top, and that's a vile thought. My SearsWatch©2014 update: He turns 25 today. Happy birthday Freddie! I read somewhere that this now means he is the fourth senior Colchester player over the age of 24. And one of those is probably out for the season. Woo.

Sorry dear poor neglected thread. Here's something for you - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30612371 John Gregory has stepped down as Crawley manager for some open heart surgery so Dean Saunders is in charge. e: I'm also linking this, partly because it's a good goal, but mainly because the title is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zewt68nDhVU HJB fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Dec 28, 2014 |
