[Albion] Sudbury Town eye repeat - 25 years on

[Guinness Boy]

Mrs GB is out for a gin night tonight and there's a very good chance I'll be watching this in preference to (yawn) Southampton v Villa. A shame the pitch is now 3G. A proper cowfield would have added to the enjoyment immensely.

Went to both games and managed to avoid a huge fight outside the ground and in the city. PPF led his troops admirably but was finally beaten back by a lady farmer and her huge pointy marrow

You were lucky. I went to that game and saw a 0-0 draw. You saw a Jeff Minton goal somehow.

I think on reflection he hit the bar from long range…. But yep you’re right it was 0-0! Oh how dementia tricks the brain eh?!

I’m watching. I’ve just realised Haydn Mullins is Colchester’s manager. Ex Palace but also remember him being sent off with Virgs at West Ham.

I've been watching the second halves of both games with the PL on the telly and this game on the laptop. The gulf in quality is incredible, Dean Smith really does have a lot of work to do before the 20th

 

[Questions]

Walton and Leatherhead killed me. Saw all 3.

Am I the only one who was secretly pleased Sudbury got beat?

Is it irrational that the two games has festered in my subconscious into an inherent hatred of Sudbury?

I have no axe to grind with Sudbury 25 years on, but am l the only one who thought Colchester put on a terrific performance?

Was particularly impressed by their two young widemen Sylvester Jasper and Armando Dobra, on loan from Fulham and Ipswich respectively.

Did we have any scouts at the game l wonder?
