Yesterday was a once in a lifetime game and everyone who attended will be able to say ‘I was there’. MSH loss is another gutting blow but Kyle Knoyle is too good to be sat on the bench, a perfect replacement, if he doesn’t get injured over next 3 months that position is more than adequately covered. Camps has been excellent in last 2 games, really softens the blow of losing Collar and to some extent Sarce, again, please stay fit and look after that shoulder, this could be his moment. I thought the goal scoring would end when we made the multiple substitutions but in some ways we upped our game, that will have done Tanto the world of good and also Cotterill getting that goal will give him a lift. No need to risk Powell either, another few days should see him right, he’s spilt opinion but we’ll need him. With the injury to MSH I expect we’ll keep Richardson now, but that damage limitation limp into January could turn into something much better than we expected. Finally, Paddy Madden, one of the best signings we’ve ever made in recent years, if we manage to go up he really deserves all the accolades and what a fitting achievement at the tail end of his career. Only problem with Camps is that he has been excelent in the first half but half time seems to disrupt him and never looks the same player in the second half. There must be a good reason for this as it cannot just be a coincidence. Must admit myself as both as a player and a ref i hated the break to come if i was having good games.

Be interesting to see how much pressure Colchester’s OG came from, because apparently Wrexham did “really well” today according to their manager. I watched the Sky highlights on their website and zero pressure on the Colchester defender. Wrexham got lucky. It's a work of art

Yesterday was a once in a lifetime game and everyone who attended will be able to say ‘I was there’. Nobody there yesterday has ever seen us win by such a margin. Just when you think we've seen it all, this happens. Not stopped buzzing about it. And yet, there's this nagging annoyance about something that happened, which perhaps says more about me and my inability to just be happy than anyone else, but here goes anyway. A few obviously recent converts sitting behind us left the ground on 70 minutes. Someone said it's because people kept standing up and they got sick of it. These are the quality of supporters Stott wants us to embrace. The type who weren't interested when we were shit. The type who weren't even interested enough to stay until the end when we won eight f*cking nil. That Athletic article the other week was a brilliant bit of PR for the club but the quote about Stott saying some fans don't want City and United supporters to come and see us, but he thinks we should welcome them. That episode yesterday wasn't the first time longstanding fans who have been everywhere have felt a bit put out by obvious newcomers moaning at them for doing what they've always done. I'm all for new fans, even if it takes them a good few years to feel as passionate as those who have been going all their lives. But there needs to be an understanding from the top that growth and expansion of our support needs to be achieved with the die hards and their culture at the core. Otherwise we risk swapping people who went every week at our worst with people who treat the game like some sort of leisure experience on a par with a trip to the cinema. The club would be much worse off if that happened. Any business should value its most loyal customers above those who are yet to become customers. We need to do the same.

Bloke in a city shirt there as well. I just shook my head at him and he laughed. The fat get.

Are you able to upload the interview with Mark Stott?

It was weird actually - he had the current city shirt on, but was pulling the new county home shirt out of a bag. Very performative. Convinced he wanted agg.

How very odd, perhaps he wanted to convert in front of an audience 🤔 or just a WUM looking to provoke, weirdo.

As if you could just walk into the club shop and buy this year’s shirt.

But people no matter how hard core should also take into account that the people sat behind them may be unable to stand up due to medical conditions, what would you do to cater for them, a lot of which will be elderly so have probably been going for 50 years
