Tuesday 3 pts are vital

[Simster]

We'll probably draw tomorrow and everyone, including myself will be shitting themselves.

True I'm afraid. The trouble with being top is that the only way is down, meaning that following a defeat, anything other than a win causes you to shit it.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Anything less than a win and we might as well write the season off now.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

It's not unthinkable to be beaten but this is out first chance to turn games in hand into points. These one/two games in hand are pointless (literally) if we don't widen the gap.

 

[The Large One]

Anything less than a win and we might as well write the season off now.

Agreed.

Stop all the cocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent J block from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the South Stand and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message The Season Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the Nazi stewards wear black cotton gloves.

Gus was my North, my South, my East and West,
Ees complicated, my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that being top would last for ever: I was wrong.

The three points are not wanted now: subtract every one;
Pack up Craig Noone and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up Chris Wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

At the moment it is a funny situation were in. This time a couple of season's ago we were worried about staying in league one and now its all turned on it's head. We were cruising at the top and now the gap has been closed and everyone is getting worried but as long as we are in the the top 2 we have a chance of winning this league and, yes tomorrow is a big game as we need the points to take the gap further but if we only get the 1 point i trust Gus and the boys and we will be top at the end of the season.

 

[Gerbil]

0-0 written all over it tomorow. Resulting in NSC going into meltdown about how we'll bottle it.

 

[BLOCK F]

Gus,please start with Glenn!

The only "must win" games are ones where if you draw/lose then you're either either relegated, or miss out on promotion.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Winning is better than drawing, which in turn, is better than losing.

That's my take on it.

That's crazy talk that is

 

[Rookie]

Damm straight.

All that's up for grabs tomorrow is at maximum 3 points. Colchester are good (or at least don't lose many) as well so it will be far from easy

 

[algie]

3pts is vital tomorrow and it is a must win game really.We need to crank up the pressure for other teams.I'm sure the last time we won this league we followed up a defeat straight away with a win.
Bouncing back helps with moral etc.

I have a horrible feeling though it will be a draw.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

[brightonmark1234]

we need to bounce back as this is one of our games in hand and we need to win

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I would take a point. Col Utd are not a bad outfit and (I could be wrong) but seem to be pretty good at picking up draws away from home.

 

[glasfryn]

we have not lost at home this season they have only lost two away games and If I were a betting man my money would be on a draw.
but this is the Albion and just about anything can happen although since prince Gus has been here we have given next to nothing away in goals and have the best scoring team in the league(others have scored more but also given away more) so me thinks it will be them shitting themselves not US
2-0 to the Mighty Albion

 

[Renns]

I'd start with Kish, Dicker and Murray (in replace of Sparrow, Bridcutt and Barnes). We looked so much more threatening with those on the pitch at the weekend, and we need the cool head of Kish to calm the game down if we start hoofing it forward like against Bournemouth. There's definitely more of a goal threat with Murray on the pitch too, like we saw at the weekend.

 

[whitelion]

After our previous three defeats we came back with a result:

21-Aug-10 A Sheffield Wednesday L 0-1
28-Aug-10 H Walsall W 2-1

13-Nov-10 A Hartlepool United L 1-3
20-Nov-10 H Bristol Rovers D 2-2

11-Dec-10 A Huddersfield Town L 1-2
29-Dec-10 H Charlton Athletic D 1-1

I have no reason to think we cannot get at least a draw but really do need a win!!

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

I would take a point. Col Utd are not a bad outfit and (I could be wrong) but seem to be pretty good at picking up draws away from home.

This. In their last two games they have drawn with Huddersfield and beaten Bournemouth, who they have beaten twice. A point would be good right now.

 

[The French Mistress]

I would consider Tarrico because I think that Calderon was very poor on Saturday and think Tarrico would do better. As regards Kishishev who I consider does the same job as Bridcutt if as you advocate dropping you are then replacing 1 player for a similar type of player as opposed to Dicker who does not do the same job as either of them.

Arse talking again Grandad. Calderon was made to look poor as a result of good homework by Bournemouth scouts , ie isolated by their wide men. Happen to know that the Colchester chief scout has also named Calderon as our weak link .
