Just a typical week in the annals of Colchester United.
After a most wretched season resulting in a bizarre defeat to the Brewers and relegation to the basement league. Joe Edwards red card rescinded notwithstanding this has been a shocking week.
The truth concerning KK's departure must come out eventually; everyone seems tight lipped but the club owes it to the fans to give us the facts behind the departure. RC need to clarify the situation.
As one who believed the impossible was possible (until the farce at Crewe) I bemoan the relegation and am not looking forward to any of next season in the bowels of the 72 clubs that form the football league.
David Wright at 35 has been handed the poisoned chalice for the last two games. His rise from Under 14's coach to first team has been meteoric.
Today he takes his charges to Barnsley who are enjoying an excellent season with Wembley success already and the possibility of a play off final to come.
It is up to the players to put in a performance and attempt to spoil the Oakwell party today.
Alex Gilbey and George Moncur will be playing their last away games for the Club today with more to follow in a player exodus after the final whistle against Rochdale next Sunday.
Next season will be about stability, rebuilding and focusing on attempting to get back to the level that realistically we should be playing at.
The new stadium and excellent Academy facilities and young talented footballers do not want to see League Two football, they should be playing League One with the chance to attain the promised land sampled in 2006-2008.
This season has really hurt the club, it was one season struggle too far and there will be no last game redemption this season.
DW has a decision to make about his future and the club must act before the end of this season to make a decision about who will be in charge during the close season and into next year.
Team:
Parish
Wynter Eastman Kent Shorey
Gilbey Moncur Garvan
Massey Porter Lee
Subs:
Barnes Edwards Brindley Lapslie Bonne Akinwande Ambrose
A big crowd at Oakwell will be looking to inflict the goals that take the U's against column into three figures, we must resist this at all costs. The season has been embarrassing enough.
95 goals conceded a GD of -41 and only 9 wins against:
Sheffield United, Gillingham, Swindon, Bradford (twice), Port Vale, Doncaster, Coventry and Blackpool paints a far from rosy picture.
The U's must attempt to end the season in some style, the faithful deserve it.
Travel well, enjoy the game and Up the U's

It has been a painful week supporting CUFC
Relegation confirmed although I think we all knew it was coming
KK makes an impressive statement about plans for next season BUT THEN
KK leaves
We are now in position so familiar in recent seasons of having to look for yet another new manager.
Whoever is appointed I would prefer the appointment sooner rather than later so preparation for next season can commence immediately
I do fear the worse with regard to next managerial appointment but at the end of the day no matter who is appointed our support of CUFC will continue |  | | |

...and we have had a few clowns in the past. 
No doubt in my mind that the new manager will come with a U's pedigree. I'd settle for Doogie. |  | | |

Why rush into appointing a new manager? Our director of football will be handling player recruitment, as dictated by the chairman. Any new players will, of course, fit into the club's playing system, as dictated by the chairman. Far better to wait until the season starts and promote another coach from within who will be cheap and, therefore, fit into our spending policy, as dictated by the chairman.
The views of the fans are of no consideration and we should be very grateful we have a dictator for a chairman, as dictated by the chairman. | |
