Colchester United: It’s That Team Again…

We could do with our next oppo being a side that we always seem to beat. Instead, next in line will be Colchester United. To be fair, looking towards historical head-to-head records for some sort of short-term salvation is a little bit desperate. And just because – let’s say – …

You Gotta Col With It…

… you gotta take your time. Or something like that. But, of course, there’s taking your time about things and there’s bumbling your way into the third month of the season with people starting to take notice that your win column is lying empty. The interim gaffer says that our …
