Colchester to enjoy FA Cup success against Marine at the JSCS 21:55 - Nov 6 with 4943 views | durham_exile | After the excitement of a rare Colchester United hattrick courtesy of already a strong contender for Player of the Season Jevani Brown against Stevenage Borough on Tuesday evening the Super U’s play host to Marine AFC on Saturday at 3pm in the 1st Round Proper of the FA Cup. As I mentioned earlier in the other FA Cup thread, I went to Marine’s ground in 1972 for the FA Amateur Cup tie against Enfield which the London side won 3-0. Marine are managed by Neil Young and will present more of a challenge than Stevenage offered the other evening. They have reached the 1st Round Proper for the first time in 25 years and will be keen to cause an upset. We will certainly be hoping that Colchester approach the game professionally and do not give the impression that they are On the Beach. Similarly, we need to go after them Like a Hurricane and make sure that we do not offer them charity in the form of a Heart of Gold. Well they are managed by Young and they hail from Crosby. Chuck Norris is injured and will be out until the beginning of December therefore the signing of Michael Folivi was particularly opportune. Now SB is at least consistent, on Tuesday he made three substitutions with less than 10 minutes to play. Josh Bohui got his customary 7 minutes of action, Chilvers replaced Poku on 85 minutes and new striker Folivi got two minutes replacing the outstanding Jevani Brown on 88 minutes. It would seem that he is not to be dissuaded from only playing one striker even at home. This is a mistake but while results are positive the policy will remain unchanged. Therefore, he is unlikely to make many starting changes from Tuesday evening. Gerken Welch-Hayes Eastman Smith Bramall Stevenson Pell Senior Poku Harriott Brown Subs: George Sowunmi Chilvers Scarlett Gambin Bohui Folivi I would start Bohui instead of Senior, but the latter is simply undroppable. Given that Marine will offer more attacking threat than Stevenage, SB will err on the cautious side, but these are the sort of games where the opposition must be put to the sword. Over the years we have had enough cup upsets, Yeovil Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Dover Athletic, Bedlington Terriers are just some that spring to mind over the years. Now that the FA Cup offers the only realistic big money-spinning opportunities the U’s must be after the Goldrush and a 4-0 scoreline is realistic in order to avoid any embarrassment. The weather in Colchester is set fair tomorrow with 12 degrees Celsius and clear dry conditions. Some sunshine will be in evidence. Frankly, a home tie against a Northern Premier League side who play in the 8th tier of English football is one not to be sniffed at. We must take full advantage. The match is available through the BBC Red Button and Online services, live at 3pm. Both teams will enjoy a financial cup windfall, but it is the homeside that will progress to Round Two. Enjoy the game. Up the U’s | |

They're doing an Oxford City on us. Colchester are clueless when it comes to dealing with non league sides. And I'm sorry but that must only be an attitude issue that permeates our culture. We already hold the record for the number of Cup exits at the hands of non lg sides. By now you'd have thought someone within the club would make it a priority. Over the last fifty years or more the number of non lg sides we have played properly against has been very very few - Ringmer (6-0), Yeading (7-1), Leamington (9-1) & Wealdstone (2-6 & that flattered us). There really is no excuse at all though I noticed our manager got his in before the game. | |

Actually I don't think Senior is doing too badly Poku looks sharp. We need to push Bohui up front to give Brown support. Sowunmi having a decent game Up the U's | |

SB needs an inspirational team talk. Cowan-Hall and Folivi are the two obvious replacements second half Up the U's | |

Big second half to come. First real test of SB credentials Still think we can turn things around. They will tire. Pell doesn't look fit though Give Bohui the ball in attacking positions We can do this Up the U's | |

Sowumni shouldn't need to be in the ruddy game Durham. These are half way down a step four non lg, they have jobs, they go trading Tuesday and Thursday nights after work. It's just not comparable. Our football team have once again not set up for the game. We may all muse about our ineptitude against such opposition but it isn't funny, or even novel any more. The gap between the relative league positions is far greater than was the case in our game at OT last year for example. What we have seen so far is inexcusable. Nothing more than that. | |

Yep, dreadful so far - way too lethargic, need to up the pace 100% if we're to get through this. | |
