Don’t Call Us, We’ll Col U…

So, third time lucky. Right? It’d better be. Boro’ have started this new campaign in a similar fashion to how we finished the last. By which, we mean waiting on our next win to come along. Now, of course, we *know* what was then is not what is now. New …

Colchester United v Stevenage: Can We Col U Al?

Can We Col U Al?

A man walks down the street. He says: “Why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle?”. From this, we’re safe to assume Paul Simon ain’t waffling on about a Boro’ fan. If nothing else, recent showings from Charlie Lee and Steven Schumacher tell us that …
