Although the U’s have broken the cycle of lazy player recruitment and internal managerial appointments, it might not be enough to stave off relegation.
Thanks. I think Colchester can definitely improve next year if they stay up but as you say, League Two is going to be stronger. If Wrexham and Notts County come up they’ll probably be the best newly promoted pair in a while, Oxford may drop down and Gillingham will be a force after their mid season takeover. None of the current top three are big spenders either so there won’t be much money leaving the division.
All about the next few weeks for Colchester, it’s huge.
A balanced view; RC has been the architect of COL U malaise in the last few years but as you rightly point out lesson appear to have been learned.
The coming games are crucial and if relegation is avoided I’d like to think of an improvement next term.
The other point is the teams coming up from NL with huge budgets, together with the four sides coming down from L1 means a tough division.
I’m not sure Col U is ready for a promotion tilt quite yet.
