Colchester have been solid the last 2 seasons , not far off the play offs and will probably be similar this year.

Like most clubs in the division its been a struggle to recruit well but they have not had a huge turnover of players, however having said that creating chances may be an issue as they have lost some of their pace out wide, Lisbie and Edwards have both left and moved up a division (Reading/Peterboro).

walsall had the 4th best away form last season with 10 wins and 7 draws. they are on my list to look at for away wins when the season gets going. gills home form last season was not that good with 8 wins in 23 games.


walsall also have a new manager in lee grant and word is he will be more attacking so maybe goals could be looked at.gills also conceded 72 goals last season so if punting id go over 2.5

Well done Dragon on the Walsall bet.

But if ever a score line did not tell the story then this was it.  Gills totally dominated the first 80 minutes from an attacking perspective, the Walsall keeper pulled off some very good stops - Gills 7 shots on target and hit the woodwork twice. I feared what could happen late on and lo and behold Walsall nicked a goal on 81 minutes and Gills then fell apart and conceded two more as they pressed forward.

Worrying times for the Gills as they are struggling to convert chances. The only saving grace is that they at least are creating them.
Gareth Ainsworth appears to now be on borrowed time unless the tide turns, plenty of fans want him gone (not me)
Fleetwood away next week and they won away at Chesterfield today so it ain't going to be easy.
