Merry Christmas everyone. A nice bacon roll should help clear the fuzziness from last night and prepare for today's excess.....

If that was a penalty, then the one we didn't get at Pompey was GBH!

City 3 points off relegation. Gas 3 points off playoffs. Some squeaky bums in BS3 this weekend. They'll be looking for buy out clauses for Collins, Marquis, Finley, Connolly, Sinclair, Belly..........

Surely a club that was Premier league only 15 years ago and Championship just a couple of years back have a stadium with undersoil heating and good pitch protection?

Now you mention Finley, is he available for Saturday as he picked up another yellow card at Bolton & I’m not sure how many cards he had so far? Sure the cut off was 19 games, so is now one card towards a ban. Yep, the cut off for cautions in the league was 5 in 19 league games which would have meant a 1 game ban. Pretty sure the next cut off is 10 cautions in 37 games (2 game ban). Yellows in cup competitions are treated separately. Edit - Finley's at Bolton was his 5th yellow I think. I must admit when Thomas was booked in the 19th game I was certain that was his 5th and so he would have got a ban - but maybe the two yellows he got and was sent off for in the game against Ipswich only counted as 1 as the second meant a red (if you see what I mean)

If it is Covid then surely there are grounds for a postponment? I finally succumbed to Covid about 8 weeks ago and it knocked me for six for a period of ~ 3 weeks - and yes I've had the jabs. I'm quite a bit older and far less fit than a bunch of 20 and 30 something year old pro-footballers, but the virus is still pretty potent and there's lots of it about. Do we still not have isolation advised, IF covid ? I ask as i tend to avoid news programmes now and because i can get low when constantly hearing sad and scary stuff, mostly not founded on absolute fact I don't know what the rules are now around isolation - it all seems to have been relaxed. Like you I tend to switch off the news, especially the BBC (apart from the local stuff) as all they seem to do is stoke the fires of division and undermine at every opportunity

Not trying to make an excuse as we have been abysmal, but if this bug is bad then we have five days for it to clear before we play Bolton on Friday

Neither of our midfield dynamos playing today .. feels like we are inviting BW on to us. Can’t see who will do the tackling … Think we may need to score three if we want to get through today. The way it's going so far, we might need four or five second half......

Giving this away. JB clearly didn't heed any of the warnings freely given out by their manager and/or he doesn't want to progress - no Finley or Rossiter in the middle is just waving the white flag before we started. This is going to be a real embarrassment the way things are going so far

Finley can't risk another booking perhaps but may need to come on if we need him. Finley avoided his fifth yellow in the game against Posh - which was the 19th league game and the cut off for a suspension due to 5 - the next cut off is 10 cautions in 37 games. I'm also certain that the cup competitions are being treated separately for yellows, and reds too I believe. Thomas got his 5th yellow v Posh so will miss the next league game I think. Whelan is still banned in the tin pot, but can play today

Wales a very tired well beaten team. I know they went to 10, but the first goal was from a really poor tired clearance. I don't know how many subs they made or are allowed without checking, but Page probably should have put a couple more fresher players on

I wonder if there is a supply issue - they're complaining about similar issues in their shop over on OTIB

An attendance of 600 just proves how bad this tournament format has failed. They butchered what used to be a decent lower league cup in order to push a failed FA agenda. 👏👏👏 Colchester. You done the integrity of English football proud. Hope you get an equaliser. Well done - they have! We need the prize money to pay another keeper..

Thomas has a 1, possibly 2, match ban coming up for his 5th yellow on Saturday. I'm not sure if it will only affect league games or whether it means he'll miss the FA Cup game on Sunday. If he is to miss 2 then tonight might just be to keep him ticking over
