Bollocks to DMs

I wore them in the late 70's😀

Definitely not!

[Nomoreheroes]

Couldn’t afford DMs now!

[4D]

I've got 3 pairs 

[Peter Venkman]

Love my DM's, the pair I have now have lasted me 15 years and still going well

As it stands our team for Saturday would read Mahoney, Hutton, Minturn, Brewitt, FBT, Lavinier (if fit), McEachran, Khan, Kemp, RHM, Austin with Brann, Kinsella, Cain, Wakelin, Young plus 2 youngsters on the bench. Not a disaster but bit weak at center back and lack of depth on bench. Add in the expected 3 signings (2xCH & a LWB) and we have a decent 18 even if, as expected, Lavinier moves on.

Given the improvement in performances in pre-season and feeling that we will add a further couple to the squad before the window closes, I am reasonably optimistic that we should have enough for a top 7 finish.

Be careful - you'll probably get told that your head is buried in the sand.

I used to think I was an optimist.  That starting XI, which includes an "injured" (told not to risk himself) player at LWB, would have me popping a few quid on the other team, especially away.  Don't get me wrong, there are some components to work with - Hutton/Kemp/Austin should be able to create and finish some chances if used well.  But the spine remains a worry to me.  If it wasn't vs a Garner team I'd be inclined to think we get 55%+ possession and concede two soft goals while huffing and blowing for one ourselves.

Colchester have only sold around 2,500 tickets for Saturdays game. I think we have aold around 700 so far.

Saying that the crowd will be nearly double our opening day game at Harrogate last season when only 1,948 fans (600 Swindon) attended. Town being drawn away for the opening game for the 3rd year running in L2.
