Once again Bombay_tv gives us his own unique take on the trip to Queens Park Rangers

The Saints travel to the home of the Hammersmith hardmen, Eddie and Richie. After last weeks promising performance at home to Swansea, it's now time to start winning. Saints were unlucky last week, and on another day we'd have won easily. We had 2 cert pens that were turned down, and again conceded a very soft goal. These errors have to stop, and it's time to rack up some points.

QPR have some talented players, but they too will be playing at home under pressure. Both managers are amongst the favourites for the sack, and saturday is a "must not lose" game for Hughes and Adkins.

Saints have had a few players away on international matches, and hopefully they have all come away from their respective matches injury free. Saints again will be backed by a sell out away end, and the support will be there for the manager and team, as it was at the Hawthorns a few weeks ago. Let's hope by 6pm saturday that QPR are like their famous supporter Eddie Hitler, and still rooted to the Bottom.

Last weeks performance was positive. (Although Swansea were pretty crap)
Jack cork for one. He is nailed on to start..(def a NA signing)
Ramirez in the hole was the best position for him. Should be a notch sharper.
Same team to start for me.

QPR individuals.
Hopefully we can shut out / frustrate the forwards. Taarabt (in particular) and Cisse. Also Hoylet, Granero.
Someone like Zamora who doesn't score that much - probably will against us.
QPR have put in some really good performances early but like us but have little to show.
Is our spirit stronger? Has NA got full control of team selection? Can we play better and win?!
The answer(s) would be yes! Saints squad has been forged for longer and NA team last week would suggest he's the man in charge..
I can see red cards and goals a plenty for this.
COYR's!!

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Knees-up Mother Brown #23 by wessex_exile

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Knees-up Mother Brown #22 by wessex_exile

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

Knees-up Mother Brown #19 by wessex_exile

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
