Exeter City v Colchester United Official Match Day Thread. 25/1/20 LD2

[HH12]

Tough one today but in our current form we should fear no one - probably settle for a point but 3 would be brilliant
Here's hoping - COYR

A very dull morning. Almost 100% grey cloud cover. It's 10c, but it feels slightly colder because there's a nagging SSE breeze that has been gusting up to 4. We had rain overnight, barely 1mm. Don't think there's likely to be much sunshine, or that the temperature will rise much. The pitch is starting to look a bit threadbare in places, and I anticipate full sprinkler action pre-match. Thanks to Oldsmobile for the photo it reminds me of the John Scofield album "You can see my house from here". Think the game should be a good contest and a pretty tough test. Further update around 13:00.

Having only got back late last night, I'm not able to attend today's match. Will be listening in with nervous anticipation later.

The clean sheet record will probably go today but can’t think of a better time to gain our first 2-1 win of the season

Yeah mate I was only looking at this the other day we haven’t won or lost by the score 2-1 all season in 27 league games! Considering it’s one of the most common score lines that’s amazing!

Actually Dickenson is not available today so it is too much to ask. Sorry.

Any reason he isn’t available today? Didn’t hear anything in the weeks press about it?

It's his father's funeral. See the build-up thread.

Expecting a difficult match today with Colchester likely to pose problems for us from an attacking perspective. I'll go for a 3-2 win for us with us grabbing the winner in injury time.

Still very dull. It's 8c and there's almost total grey cloud cover. The wind has gone round to SE and it feels as though there will be some precipitation in the next couple of hours - looking up towards the top of Pennsylvania Road it appears to be misty, but down here it's just dull! Don't bother with the sunglasses.
Update: It's just started spitting with light rain.
