| COLCHESTER TOMORROW 18:43 - Aug 7 with 3602 views | BLEEDRED | Has anyone had any experience of using the bus from the train station to the ground?? No problem before the game but wondering how long it takes after the game!! Was hoping to catch the 20:33 train back to Southampton (hope no extra time) I know I could walk it in about 40mins but want to be lazy! |  | | |  |
| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 19:06 - Aug 7 with 3536 views | 1ASIN12 | Might be quicker to walk, I know when we got the train a few seasons ago it seemed to take ages. Not sure what the crowd will be tomorrow though, I’m guessing about 4 or 5000 . |  |

| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 19:13 - Aug 7 with 3510 views | City_boy | Been trying to find details myself. There is the park and ride with bus from Colchester Station (also known as Colchester North), but this looks like the bus finishes early -around 18:45 ? I found this time table if it is any help ? https://www.travelessex.co.uk/ It's possible there may be a different time table for match days ? I think the Park and ride is on opposite side of A12 and direction to Station. I plan to get park and ride to ground, and get further info at the park and ride/driver on the day. I don't really want to walk 10 min to P&R and then have to double back and walk another 40 mins to station :( [Post edited 7 Aug 19:14]

| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 20:18 - Aug 7 with 3415 views | BLEEDRED | Looks like the park & ride closes at 20.30 tomorrow Will properly end up getting it before the game and walk back. As it's a 10 mins walk from the Park & Ride to the ground and no idea how long the queue for the bus will be after the game. (forgot there is no extra time straight to pens) |  | |  |

Vipotnik is tall. Hopefully, he'll solve the problem. We're struggling to score against Colchester. So far, they look more likely to score than we do. Finn Azaz and Shea Charles could improve things in the 2nd half, but we need our new centre forward asap. Our starting XI has looked pretty toothless. [Post edited 8 Aug 18:20]

Absolutely.. It all turned out well after we got Brereton Diaz off the pitch. |  |

Yeah, BBD was poor. We need a new striker for sure. But I love watching a Tonda Eckert side. So attacking, great goals, so exciting, so powerful. |  |

| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 20:52 - Aug 8 with 2547 views | grumpy | Brereton Diaz looked lost out there today,on the other hand Akachukwu looked promising. |  | |  |

If only we could break down 8 or man defences and we def had Peretz to thank with that triple save early in the game BUT, we deserved the win on balance of play |  |

| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 23:50 - Aug 8 with 2392 views | saintpaz | unfortunately it's a case of enough chances for Diaz, let him go to Derby and cash in. Lucky to not be down at half time but a much better 2nd half after Larin and co came on, a real fox in the box. Onwards and upwards |  | |  |
| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 09:40 - Aug 9 with 2158 views | City_boy | No more than another run out before season starts and not much to read into this. Quite a few way ward passes, lapses that allowed Colcheter some good chances.. Build up play was slow (for most of the game), which allowed them to organise and they defended well. We still seem to struggle to break down teams that sit deep and just defend. Colchester did have a couple of really big guys up front, which defence marshalled well. Fellows still has a habit of going forward, stopping and then playing it back. When he takes defenders on he looks good, but when he played it back constantly, we lost all momentum. Support was good but still not sure why they didn't offer more seats. when it far from a sell out. Noticable that D Downs was not even in bench. Is that a sign his days are numbered ?

| COLCHESTER TOMORROW on 10:30 - Aug 9 with 2099 views | dirk_doone | Did anyone else notice Tonda walk up to greet ex-Pompey manager, Danny Cowley, before kick-off? Cowley said something, Tonda looked surprised and walked away. A bonus of the 2nd goal was that it would have increased Cowley's bitterness. |  |

They seemed ok after the game hand shake though? |  |

I didn't see that. So, maybe Cowley didn't say what I thought he did. [Post edited 9 Aug 10:42]

I am hoping that Bereton Diaz and D Downs are shown the door, they had enough chances and both are very poor. |  |
