Gillespie's goal helps to blunt the Blades (From Essex County Standard)

A better crowd this time, thanks to the huge Blades contingent.
After their goal, I thought the Blades with their superior skills were really going to cut us to pieces. But our lads held together well, and with Steven Gillespie in great form it looked for a while as if we were going to nick it.
At the end the South Stand was chanting "John White's Barmy Army" and nobody deserved it better.
We can't complain about the draw, which was a fair result.

I have to agree with Boris. A much better performance by us against a strong Blades side.

It was also good to see John Ward getting animated towards the team at some of the dreadful passes and (lack of) marking. That's what U's fans want to see, some desire in the manager.

A great month of performances, let's hope we can keep the momentum on Saturday when we take on Huddersfield.

Really enjoyed the match, yes we were a bit tentitave in the first half and we were much better with the ball on the deck.

Second half was great and maybe we could have got another, but as mentioned above, I agree a draw was fair.

Keep the good run going and carry that momentum into next season and who knows ??????

I would have given MotM to Eastman not Magnus, I thought he was calm under pressure and did what was required.


Up the U's

Agreed with the Eastman comment ROBBO. That is for sure. He is looking excellent. Shame on all of the fans who knocked Ward for bringing in defenders at the start of the season.

Boris, you have done a Boris. Yes there was a good Sheffield turn out, but it was not fantastic, Colchester also had alot more fans than normal. Was your head up your Ar5e again???? Could you not fault anything else on the night????

Great performance from Col U in the second half, they battled well and played some excellent attacking football. Well worth a point.

disappointed with the last part of your comment super waluigi. Boris is one of our most respected contributors. we are all entitled to have an opinion. Like you, we all have col u at heart, but Being downright rude should have no place on this forum.

Yah, Nora. Agreed that Boris makes some valid points on here, and once again I may have come across rude, so my apologies to Boris, yourself and anyone I may have offended with the Ar$e comment. However, I stand by the foundation to what I wrote in reply. Sheffield could have bough more to be honest (even on a tuesday) as they have a massive following. Colchester had a good turn out ourselves by our current standards. I hope this clears things up some what.

Apology accepted, Super. I know from your jibes at Saint Crazy that there is no point in taking your comments too much to heart. Also I know you love this club like all of us do.
Yes, the Col U turnout was better because some of us have suddenly scented the outside chance of nicking a place in the play-offs. Could we get back to the 6000+ that saw every game at Layer Road when we were in the Championship?
I don't know how the Sheff U crowd on Tuesday night compared with other midweek away games a long way from their home. But they didn't fill the North Stand, though they spread out to make a fair attempt at doing so.

Less than 5000 fans even though Sheff Utd were in Town. Shows the majority arent behind Ward. I still want him out. We beat a poor Preston team and won at Charlton which looks a good result but we got battered in terms of possession, couldnt beat a poor Wycombe and then only got a point at home. Before you all get excited, Jordan Rhodes is in Town at the weekend. He will exploit our average defenders.

Yes, 33 goals in the season so far is very impressive. But John White and Tom Eastman will take care of him. I predict another draw.
