From the ed: Not the best of days results wise, more defeats than wins!

Colchester, Preston and Stockport for me today – I genuinely came away from that Colchester performance thinking we were going places, the best we had played in ages and looked a great side, how wrong I was!

Good to see one of my favourites, not sure why really, Miglioranzi on target back in 99.
