So it turns out Crewe were talking absolute bollocks all along and there was never a cap on the amount of tickets they could have.

Ha ha ha! Couldn't write it, could you?

He’s just a vale WUM, think he posts as DOHA on onevalefan, he’s obsessed with the Alex, morbidly obese and stinks of piss.

What's going on with you lot then, Colchester fans? When I look at your squad and couple it with the Cowleys being in charge I'd have expected you to kick on a bit but you're in that 16th to 22nd void that both us and you seem to always occupy in this division. There's a lot of experience in that squad, is it just a case of things not really clicking or are you where you deserve to be?

Positions wise, you look at this and think home win but this is far from that. We need to start picking up points at home but we all know what a Cowley team is about, they aren't gonna come here and let us have it our own way.

We looked a decent enough side throughout August and September and were probably about five points worse off than we ought to have been which would have had us in and around the play-offs at the time. We played with a decent tempo, pressed high with energy and we looked like a real team where you could see what we were trying to do. I'm sure at that point we had the most shots on target in the division, the highest XG and a fairly high possession stat too. I would have had us down for a comfortable 10-15th finish this season, probably looking upwards for much of the year without ever really threatening to do anything.

We fell apart at Walsall at the end of September. Played well enough for half an hour or so, went behind against the run of play, lost Bishop and Edwards to injury and ended up losing 4-0 in a game that was never a 4-0 game. I think we should have put that to one side and just carried on, but we massively overreacted and made six changes for the next game at Port Vale, set up for a 0-0 from minute one as though we were at the Etihad and stunk the place out. Since then it has felt like we've totally lost our way to be honest, chopping and changing and struggling to rediscover the promise we had shown earlier in the season.

So August and September I think we were hard done by, October and November so far we've looked every bit a relegation-battling side. With Edwards and Tovide now back from injury, hopefully we'll start to rediscover the earlier form as we have sorely missed their pace which seems key to how we would want to play. It's worrying that we appear to be fairly reliant on that though, so we need them to stay fit and then bring in some depth in January.

Shakespeare himself wouldn't have thought of that script.

Waste of time talking about the vale vs Crewe game because it will be postponed.

Why,because the pitch is covered in snow? The covers won't be as effective at preventing frost as the snow will be. It keeps the pitch warm than if it was left uncovered in freezing temperatures. If it stays covered in snow until Monday, then between clearing the pitch and the game we don't have a deep freeze, it will be on, and the snow covering will have helped.

Dan's quoting our CEO, who's basically said exactly what I posted yesterday. There was no restriction, staffing is organised based on the visiting clubs original estimate. Crewe underestimated how many they'd bring, so we couldn't confirm an increase in allocation until sufficient staffing was confirmed.

Ha ha ha! I highly fucking doubt it. Doha is a completely different person altogether and I don't think he's my biggest fan either way, even though we've never met.

Or, in reality, I posted it on the wrong thread initially, realised there was no way of deleting said post, and just posted it where intended. Bellend.
