| Colchester to enjoy FA Cup success against Marine at the JSCS 21:55 - Nov 6 with 4998 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

Penalties two mins away |
Bohui - not impressed but then again not impressed with any U's players today
I would always consider Eastman for a penalty |  | | |

We had two hours to beat and side 4 levels below us in the pyramid and we couldn’t do it. Then we lost a penalty shoot out. Not even Donald Trump would argue the result was wrong.
Well played Marine, thoroughly deserved. And good luck for the next round. | |

Bohui perhaps showed why he hasn’t been starting, and I don’t just mean the penalty. Poku and Senior also failed to give Brown and Folivi any decent service.
The FA Cup is almost an annual embarrassment. Glad I didn’t have to pay £23 or £10 to watch that cra* |  | | |

Thank you for keeping us afloat Mr Cowling.
Now turn your attention to people management and the culture within Colchester United which is in dire need of refreshment.
We are clueless whenever we are faced with teams like this. And many congratulations to Marine who will be able to play another game of football given that steps four and beyond are suspended.
As for our future - we have more poor management - atrocious preparation today and an inability to motivate or change on top of bigging up the opposition beforehand, ie getting his apology in first.
We also have too many skilful but selfish players who spoil.
We have a poor 'team' and little team ethic. With no disrespect to Marine we shouldn't lose to them..... Ever.
Bramhall was OK today. One player worth a place. One. Pell isn't fit and the defence is significantly weaker this year. We do not support Brown because Senior, who cannot ever be dropped and his mate Poku are too busy doing their own thing..... Which produces what?
How can Mr Cowling not see some of this. Does he see? Is the situation so bad that he cannot act?
I dunno, but that was disgusting rubbish from a bunch who appear to care not one jot.
Crap.
Well done Marine you only needed to turn up. |  |

Come On Everyone. There were positives to take from this. Our passing backwards and sideways was generally OK. | | | |

With the first round winners getting over £11,000 more than the losers and the losers of the second round getting £8,500, today's defeat has literally just cost the club £20,000 in a season where they need every penny!  |  | | |

I Ã m angry at the manner of the defeat today.
The money thrown away and the negative press that we will receive.
Simply not good enough.
Good luck to Marine.
Unsavoury scuffle between their assistant manager and Pell after the game. | |

Without the cup runneth over, the likely hood now that any player without a extended contract beyond this season will not be renewed. The Colchester four will become ......
So guys, hold your heads in shame . | |

So now we know why we lost
Sky have reported that John McGreals side lost to Marine and even published his photo.
I knew SB was a clone.

We were only one of many teams to fall victim to non league sides. Does that tell us something about the mentality of the league sides or are the minnows really very good at planning how to beat higher ranked teams?
Is that something the U's should be learning instead of our same old, same old method?
Rumour about us playing a friendly v Ipswich on
FA Cup 2nd round day....as we will have nothing better to do. | | | |
