Brilliant, I hope he stays there, gets loads of money for transfers, and doesn't jump ship when someone offers him more money midway through next season.

hardly galvanised the club in an adelakun-doncaster manner though.
league position when cowley/cowley joined ...23rd
league position at game 45 ...23rd
his ppg is on a par with grimsby. )))
in comparison we are about to go into our third sell out in a row... 1 defeat in 19. very pleased we chose skubala over all the calls for a second coming.
4 wins under Cowley vs 7 pre Cowley
21 points under Cowley vs 23 pre Cowley
So not every single area.
Colchester were pretty poor before DC arrived and if you listen to his interview after their defeat against Doncaster, I don't think your sunny view of their situation is shared by the manager.

They did have the benefit of Joe Taylor playing for them pre-Cowley.

The equivalent stats pre and post Joe here would be instructive.
Think of the impact in 20-21 if Forest had recalled Brennan, as many of their supporters wanted.
Gary on Stacey West talks about us being less reliant on loan players, but one has lit the proverbial blue touchpaper. I know there have been other factors in the transformation, but for me Joe has been the principal one, for the first time in a while there's a proper goalscorer in the house.
Absolutely ...another example of not everything being better at Colchester in the period since DC arrived.
Cowley has got a difficult task at Colchester.
As I said, listen to DC after the Doncaster game.
He isn't saying everything is sweetness and success at the moment. He sounded fairly down and frustrated.
They're in real danger. Sutton score plenty of goals and are capable of winning today against MK who have nothing to play for. Colchester's opponents, Crewe, do however. I think Colchester need to scrap a point somehow.

Placings would then be decided in the order of the following:
Highest number of wins
Most goals scored in away games
If they are STILL tied then it goes to:
Lowest number of penalty points from cautions and sendings off
Lowest number of 12-point sendings off
If all these fail to separate the clubs then in this case as relegation is involved there would be a play-off game.
The EFL have just issued another statement on this.
'In the case of Colchester United and Sutton Town, if these two teams cannot be separated at the end of the season the Executive Committee have decided that non of these teams will be relegated and that the nearest team to them in the league who play in black and white striped shirts will be the ones who drop to the National League'.
And here we all were thinking that the EFL havnt got a clue what they are doing.
Most sensible decision they've ever made.

Sutton scored 3 so far. But conceded 4. Colchester leading and probably safe?
