Anyone want to take a guess whether the game will be on.....
And if it is....what will our team/formation look like?
Colchester are a very hit and miss team. They did thump Port Vale away a few weeks ago but lost to Crewe on their travels last week. They did also win at Stadium MK last month. Currently sitting one place outside the playoffs. Scored 9 goals in their last 4 games. They, like us have picked up 8 points in their last 8 games.
It would appear that they have signed Abo Eisa, a winger on loan from Shrewsbury, Ben Stevenson, a midfielder from Wolves, and Callum Roberts, another winger from Newcastle in this window. roberts played and scored for Newcastle in their FA Cup win at Blackburn a few weeks ago.

Is Sordell fit to start? How do we shoehorn all the loans in? Are JJ/Foley/McWilliams ready yet?
We'll play 3-5-2 as it seems we are stuck with it:
Cornell
J Williams Goode Pierre
Facey Buchs
Foley Elsnik Turnbull
Bridge
Sordell
Always fun playing the starting eleven lottery.

pretty sure the match will be on. Frost covers have done their job so far and are on again tonight. Overnight lows of around 0c to -1c and up to 4 or 5c tomorrow. As for our line-up/formation, that's anyone's guess. Can't see Sordell starting as lacking match practice. Hopefully have at least one or two of Foley, McWilliams or O'Toole in the squad. I'll predict a draw (another one) to keep the long unbeaten home record in tact.

'Shoehorning'...think old Bandy Legs builds the team around him!

Pretty sure there will be easier games to come after the next couple. Whatever happened to C78, if he was still around we’d know? How I miss his assured confidence that everything he said was right along with his aggressive vernacular and barbed snipes. You just don’t get that type of contribution on here anymore?

Let's not start that again please.

Suspect we'll come out if the traps firing. Get 1-0 up, dominate territorially and miss succession of great chances. Followed by a poor second half display and desperately cling on for a 1-1. Again.

They've bought in two rapid wingers this week. A lot will depend upon how our wing-backs hold up if Curle goes with 3-5-2 as expected.

Pitch is fine according to the update, shame as my back is buggered from football on Monday and sitting in the cold for a couple of hours won't do it any good!
Dealing with Eisa and Roberts will sure be interesting, Buchs surely must get the start on the left?

Buchs against a rapid winger? I know, I know. But who else other than Turnbull could we put a LWB that can defend? Hopefully Pierre will play the left side of the three and can bail him out.

Unlikely I’d suggest....must be nowhere near match fit. But then this is Curle we’re talking about...so you never really know!
