Colchester (A) Prediction thread

[Royal Ginger]

Time for our regular choke against a league 1 side or cruise past a team that barely survived last season? Who's going to play and what's the score going to be? Predictions please?

Team:

----------------------Al Habsi--------------------------
Gunter--Ferdinand--McShane (c)-----Taylor
------------Tshibola-----Norwood-----------------
Taylor------------Williams------------------Quinn
--------------------Blackman--------------------------

Subs: Bond, Obita, Hector, Keown, Kuhl, Sa, Cox

2-0 to Reading Blackman with both.

[Woodley-RFC]

Reading 3-0 !!!

[Royal_Biscuit]

Team:

Al-Habsi; Keown, Ferdinand, McShane (c), A. Taylor; Norwood, Quinn; J. Taylor, Cox, HRK; Samuel

Subs: Bond, Gunter, Hector, Tshibola, Williams, Blackman, Sa

1-0 to Reading, Samuel to score on his first start.

[Big Foot]

Reading to go behind early doors but be strong enough on the night and win 3-1

Nick Blackman to score the 3rd and final goal and then give it the large one to away fans as per usual

[Coppelled_Streets]

Colchester Utd 1 Reading 3

[melonhead]

Colchester 0 - 13 Reading

Sa 10
Ferdinand 1
Fosu 1
Samuel 1

[The Prisoner]

1-0 Colchester. Dull. Fringe players fail to inspire.

Just change Taylor and HRK, with HRK the forward and Blackman continuing in support.
Taylor on the bench rather than Hector.

[sandman]

3-1 Colchester.

[Ian Royal]

......................Al-Habsi
Keown, Ferdinand, McShane, Taylor
Blackman, Norwood, Tshibola, Obita
...................Samuel, Cox

Bond, Hector, Gunter, Williams, Quinn, HRK, Sa

This will almost certainly be well wide of the mark.

2-1 to Reading in an unconvincing and slightly lucky display. Cue more 'woe is us' comments.

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

1-1 AET and we lose the penalty shoot out.

[Ian Royal]

When was the last time we had a convincing penalty taker?

Harte? Then Long, Kitson and maybe Shorey... Oh for someone with the skills of them or Morley and Caskey in the side.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Ian Harte's worst penalty record was with Reading. I think I remember him missing two or three. Still better than Sa's current record mind you!

Graham Murty.............................get in 106 points

[floyd__streete]

A diabolical 3-1 loss.

Renew your season ticket, floyd?

When was it that we missed three penalties in one game (might have been two misses, one scored)? Harte missed one of those I seem to remember.

Want to say Barnsley (H) 2011/12

As far as predictions for this go;

0-1 Samuel

Mediocre performance, fortunate result. Al-Habsi the busier of the two keepers.

[Brum Royal]

2-0 win
Sa HRK
