Squad3 Dec 2035

Jason Phillips damages knee ligaments — 60 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 60 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad3 Dec 2035

Tempers go at Colchester United

Adrian Akande was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings3 Dec 2035

Kaion Lisbie runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad3 Dec 2035

JK Gordon falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad3 Dec 2035

Ellis Iandolo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market3 Dec 2035

Robert Grant is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Colchester United has been clear about where Robert Grant stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad26 Nov 2035

Jason Phillips damages knee ligaments — 67 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 67 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Robert Grant: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Colchester United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings26 Nov 2035

Tyrese Hall runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad26 Nov 2035

Max Jolliffe 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.

Squad26 Nov 2035

Words at Colchester United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kaion Lisbie 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 ratings26 Nov 2035

Adrian Akande was the difference for Colchester United

Marked 7.27. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
