The terraces

Anger at Colchester United spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad

Alikhan Fazylov breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Harrogate Town join the queue for Dan Cameron

Add another name to the list: Harrogate Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dan Cameron. The answer from Colchester United has not changed — yet.

Squad

Adrian Akande in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Colchester United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

JK Gordon stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” JK Gordon and Colchester United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Colchester United come up short against Port Vale

Port Vale left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at Colchester United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kane Vincent-Young is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Tyrese Hall runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Kane Vincent-Young

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

A long bet from Colchester United on Patrick Maier

He is 19, and nobody at Colchester United signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

The Ellis Iandolo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Colchester United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Boardroom

Colchester United sign a deal worth $565.0K a year

Commercial news is the news nobody sings about and everything else is paid for with. The board will call it a partnership; the accountants will call it the difference between this squad and a smaller one.
