The Voice - Match preview Colchester United vs Bradford City Tuesday 16 August @ 7:45pm

Threlkeld. Jeeze, I forgot he was even still here.

 

Train tickets booked for tomorrow staying down there till Friday. Can't wait

 

Needs selling but we have to tred carefully as the poor chap has some mental health issues which are legitimate.

 

Whoever is picked on Tuesday it will be a vast improvement on the last City team that played against Colchester.

 

He’s certainly keeping himself fit. He’s in all the squad training videos.

 

Anywhere nice Chippy?

 

Staying at my sister's for a few days in Colchester, not seen her for 5years . Taking her, my brother in law and nephew and niece in the away end . Should be fun listening to the nephew trying to speak 'Yorkshire'.

 

Shipley to Ipswich £92 return 4 hrs. Cheaper than driving and less stress. Get picked up in Ipswich. Ex rugby man brother in law and gin loving sister welcoming committee, not good when you're recovering from a heart attack lol

 

It’s not a bad area at all . If weather turns poor the Castle museum is worth a couple of hours

 

Not been to the museum but visited colly quite a few times

 

I remarked on this in another thread. Angol is 27 and has 221 EFL appearances under his belt. He has experience and good positional awareness when we are defending. He offers good cover in front of Ridehalgh, puts tackles and clearances in and protects the ball well when we're trying to move up the pitch. He also wins a lot of free kicks. Young is exciting going forward but less savvy and more likely to cough up possession. I think the extra defensive security is one reason why Angol is starting and Young is coming on when oppo defenders are tired.

 

Young looks more suited to 20 minutes off the bench, when the spaces open up.

 

Shame the zoo doesn't still have the worlds largest model railway

 

Daughter has a family season ticket for the zoo, that aside I have been several times but never knew it once had a model railway . Nice Zoo!

 

Burnt down a few years ago. Had both the largest layout, but also some serious scratch built working steam engines/

 

Im into N gauge, but need to get my mojo back . Not touched the build for two years!

 

My sister had a family ticket when her kids were younger. One of her birthday presents to me was sponsorship of a komodo dragon at the zoo. Very thoughtful

 

a Graham Farish man?

 

Aye. All steam and one early 60’s diesel replicating a station on Bishops Stortford to Braintree line. Trackwork laid, digital points working, ballasting with sand is a nightmare!

 

I think , but not sure, twin grandsons adopt an animal each.
