Colchester to enjoy FA Cup success against Marine at the JSCS 21:55 - Nov 6 with 4945 viewsdurham_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

Another great write-up Durham, thanks! I applaud your optimism, and would be delighted if we did play such a strong line-up, but I suspect there will be quite a few changes tomorrow, not least George getting a run-out in goal, and surely Bohui and maybe Folivi to start? We cannot underestimate Marine though, if we do, we'll be making the headlines for all the wrong reasons at 5pm.

The continued lack of game time for the strikers is frustrating.but Don't Let it Get You Down. There Comes a Time so maybe Tonights the Night. (shame it's not an evening kick off).

Hard work finding the BBC coverage via the red button, albeit currently just a holding screen that will hopefully spring into life in 13 minutes. IFollow seems to be much better organised.

Just watched Tonbridge 0-7 Bradford. Ghastly commentary from a female that evidently thought Tonbridge still had a chance even after going 0-2 down in ten minutes. The non-league side was completely outclassed. Let’s hope we see something similar in 9 minutes.

Couldn't find it on the red button at all, they really haven't made it very clear. Fortunately got iPlayer on me a Fruitbats iPad which I've rigged up to the telly. Still on the holding screen.

Nothing worth talking about so far.
Thought there would be commentary though
And why do we only get one camera and M&T tomorrow get multiple cameras.... huh!

AND... why is the ref dressed like a Marine player?

Red Button coverage is two minutes behind BBC website. Can’t find Radio commentary, but it would be out of sync! Typical BBC. Ipswich v Portsmouth working fine.

Very much an inferior product to ifollow. You'd have thought they'd be using much the same tech so could have delivered the same service but clearly not.

Ipswich has never worked fine.

Marine are playing well showing far more invention than Stevenage.

iFollow is usually two minutes behind as well so used to that.
Picture ok commentary ok.
U's just starting to get the upper hand.

Final passes are not good enough.

Poku should have shot instead of passing
