Even with the likes of Harrogate and Crawley in League Two, I’d be inclined to agree with County’s shirt supremo. Whenever I sit down to write anything about Colchester, nothing gets my creative juices flowing. I don’t hold any ill feeling towards the Essex club, it’s just that nothing overly exciting has ever happened against them in my lifetime. From the age of 5 to 17, we didn’t play them at all, so I don’t have any childhood Colchester memories. And until last season, we’d only occupied the same division on five occasions during my adult years, with a record of zero wins, two draws and eight defeats. Layer Road was a shithole, and I haven’t been to their new place.
History was made last season, however, as County’s first victory back in the Football League was against Colchester, with further headlines to be written this afternoon if Dave Challinor’s men can pick up another three points, which would equal Luton’s record of 12 consecutive victories in League Two. Jonathan Baker, Ian Brown, Andrew Barlow and even today’s Colchester representative Callum all think history will indeed be made by 5pm.
