you might regret that

just frighteningly lightweight and mismanaged for over 12 months.

true

uh oh another corner

Mellis sounds very lively...picking up good positions and floating around.

Sounds like we're being battled off the ball Lallana described as being lightweight

Swindon sound well up for this. Better than us atm

Haven't come to expect anything less from our defenders

fac

1-0 swindon corner goal utter shoddy

James/Murty are two excellent options at Full back. James proved himself to be a very capable full back in the 2nd half of last season - and he was actually subject of interest from championship clubs when we came down...which shows that improvement wasn't ignored. One of our most improved players last year IMO - still only 20 too.

Good lad Jack. I liked him, saw him after one of the games too - genuine nice guy. Hope he gets a decent move this summer.

That comment makes me think we've entered into some sort of bizarre universe. Signing good players, keeping our best players, owned by a billionaire...and dell days is one of the most optimistic posters!

It's not their forums...I've just scoured the web on forums like - http://www.footballforums.net - 606..... http://www.thefootballforum.net/forums/index.php I can't find any active Colchester forums...

Will be quite easy for arsenal if they get their mentality right. (Sometimes this gets them though - young players thinking they're the best etc.....) Not sure what Mark Venus is on about tbh. Arsenal are on a different planet to teams like Celtic....

Quotes from Colchester fans... ''He is an excellent CM hence the fact he is our club captain. You are paying a hefty fee for him though according to our Chairman and he will be worth it. He is one of the main contributors to our success story so far this season.'' ''He`s aclassy player, good in the tackle and keeps it simple in his distribution. Shocker if we let him go.'' '' As for Mr Hammond, Well what a class player you have, His one of few in the squad im dissapointed to see go, But when it comes to saints vs U's, No contest. All the best Deano ''If you manage to get him, you have got a fantastic player. He won Player Of The Year last season and is our club captain, and an excellent one at that. Reports our end is that it is for 400k, if so you have got an absolute steal. ''

Sounds like it's done and dusted to me Quote from U's Chairman... ''I alone made the decision to allow Dean to move to Southampton and I did so because Dean was out of contract at the end of the season and he did not want to extend his stay with the U's beyond that time. Dean has been a fantastic player for Colchester United, but the fee I have received for him will allow the club to go out and find a worthy replacement that will also be here for next season and the one after that.''

Sounds like he doesn't know anythinng to do with us tbh, anyone can guess that hammonds signed by the OS announcement (pretty much done) and anyone could say we'll sign some more by the end of the window....Pard's has pretty much admitted it. He's just guessing on us IMO.

Managed to get some feedback from a brighton fan...quite encouraging. i'll summarise it.... ''He is a class act - easily the best midfielder in this league and would be one of the best in the championship if he was given a chance up there - he was brilliant when he was with us and i was utterly gutted when he left, we've not been the same since. I'm not looking forward to facing you guys...''

Just checked - didn't realise he was their play of the season last year as well good stuff! sounds like one of the best midfielders at this level.

Got any links to their forums? i feel sorry for them tbh - what a **** day, when their season looked to be so promising...

..and by the looks of it, what a bloody good team we may have. We're filling it with all of the other teams best players...only one way we're going if we do that! (Ok - hammond and Lambert so far - but still, it's intent IMO.)

At least we're adding ''captains'' down the spine of the team. Now all we need is a CB....who is the captain of his current team

I hope we've paid £5m for him, otherwise i've had it with ML.
