Tonight's attendance is 548, of which 147 are travelling Addicks. Thank you to all that have made the trip to Essex tonight! #cafc #CAFCLive
Why on earth would anyone want to fight their way up through London traffic to Colchester on a freezing cold night to watch what was always going to be a reserve team play in a near empty stadium.
I take my hat off to everyone who has gone. But I think you are slightly mad. :-)4 -
I want a recount ? sorry wrong thread.
The 147 tonight and the 3000 odd cafc fans against Scunny should get 1st knocking on the Tickets for Man Utd away in the 3rd round.
I didn't boycott on Saturday i just didn't bother to go.

I always aimed for 154 in snooker.
Seemed like the ultimate maximum, I guess the snooker on the black to start probably doesn't count towards the break and as my top score is around 40, never really troubled the target.
Bit like Target 20k.0 -
From the highs of gaining two points against Southampton B in August to the lows of being knocked out against Colchester in November. Football can be a cruel game.

Surely the powers that be must be able to see that this competition is unwanted and pointless?
Just look at how we're reacting on here - pleased not to be forced to continue to contribute to such a farce.
Also, look at the crowds - if ever there was such a statement of the public's indifference to a competition, this is it.
Scrap it. An utter waste of everyone's time and energy.3 -

Everton tried it against Chelsea and Williams and Jagielka were exposed for lack of pace in a 3 at the back. They did revert back to 4 during the match but the game was already lost.Redrobo said:Intrested to know who 3 at the back worked, and would it with our best players.
We would need Konsa on the right with Bauer in the centre with Pearce or Tex on the Left.
Are Fox and Solly suited to being wing backs ?
Really need to perfect this system on the training ground.
It gives another option if you play without a winger.

Chelsea play the system with an attacking player (Moses) at right wing back. I'm not sure any of our regular players suits such a role?soapboxsam said:

fans at the back where more entertaining then the game tbf1

Well, it was a wild ride. I feel as if I've been through the wringer, but in the end , we bow out. Challenge for the FA would be to make this trophy dafter than it's current format. Maybe if the group matches are required to be played at neutral venues?0

You can get a 155 break I think. Free ball and a black to follow then the usual 15 red and blacks plus colours.Alwaysneil said:I always aimed for 154 in snooker.

You'd need to give away 159 points in fouls first. Stay with me, it gets better. Then your opponent fouls, snookering you on all reds (giving you 4 points and a free ball), you clear up with 16 blacks to tie the scores. Black is respotted, you win the toss and go first and pot the black off its spot. 162 break. I thank you.

As we're on snooker, here's another one:
Theoretically, what's the lowest break you can get to end the game whilst clearing the table from its original state (i.e. With all 15 reds on the table)?
