The problem with letting rip at Colchester is that it is the least atmospheric stadium you could encounter. However the car park and players/VIP entrances are easily accessible to any large congregation of supporters before the match.
Will Meire and Murray turn up? Smaller ground, closer to 'fans' and the prospect of being embarrassed by large away-end hostility to them in front of Colchester's directors?

If we lose. Will Fraeye go ? If so I will take that.
I can't see one result in the Cup making a difference, after the poor results for the last 2 months? If anything a bad performance at Huddersfield next week might be more significant.

Fair shout there.
One point from Huddersfield and Hull, particularly if we lose to Huddersfield then I reckon the axe will come down.
On bad runs Peeters and Luzon have been given the boot.

I'm in their main stand Saturday on Meire watch.
Take lots of pictures of her. That will piss her off even more.

But there was talk earlier that Fraeye had been given a certain number of matches as a guarantee. That would make sense as to why the board refuse to even discuss his position or actually acknowledge there is an issue. And for Fraeye himself it would explain why he ditched the job he had .... he would not have done so had he been a genuine 'interim' and so possibly only in situ for days/weeks

If that was the case, we'd need evidence that they had genuinely been looking for someone permanent, as replacing KF with another interim head coach would look every worse!
Perhaps, because KM has been so busy interviewing candidates this week, that's why they got Richard to do the statement today...
My dad is a Col U fan, and apparently they arent that enthusiastic about this game so theres a chance there could be as many Charlton fans as Colchester in the ground come 3pm Saturday!

Hardly a surprise is it - we don't even want to watch us.

If they aren't enthusiastic about the game then the least they can do is join in protests against Meire, Murray, RD and Fraeye ...
Has anyone tried contacting the CUFC fanbase and asked for support?
Why would they? A team 2nd bottom of L1 is hardly likely to be sympathetic to us!
Would be amusing - and rare - to have both sets of supporters calling for change. Only we can't sing "sacked in the morning" at Fraeye because we know he won't be, regardless of the result.
I really hope that some of you travelling tomorrow can be there when the team coach (that's the one with 4 wheels, not the one with no brain) arrives at the ground tomorrow. At a small club like Colchester, it should be possible to get fairly close to the players and manager disembarking. If Carol should pass by within earshot, I wonder if someone could possibly give him some friendly advice about how most fans feel about his current employment?

But also let the players know, the customers are right behind them
Must have been something I ate last night but I dreamt that I had forgotten we were playing and had to look up the result on my phone to see we'd won 4-0 with a hat-trick by someone who's name was unfamiliar. Probably about the only thing about that dream likely to come true is having a player whose name is unfamiliar...

Unlikely, as in the second half or 5.15PM are the normal sacking times for Duchatelet.
I saw somewhere there is park and ride for city centre by j28 off A12 and that this is only 10 minutes walk from ground. Have no idea if it is correct though. worth a try?
