Pre Season Review | Southampton Preview

PRE-SEASON REVIEW | ARE THE U'S READY FOR SOUTHAMPTON?

Pre-season is over. The real thing starts now.

Aaron, Si and Dave look back on Colchester United's pre-season campaign, discussing the standout performances, key talking points and whether Danny Cowley's side are ready for the start of the 2026/27 season.

The lads reflect on the summer as a whole, assess the new signings, and debate what we've learned from the friendlies heading into the opening competitive fixture.

Aaron also catches up with @leehudsoncomedy for the opposition view ahead of Colchester United's Carabao Cup tie against Southampton. What can U's fans expect from the Saints, and how seriously are they likely to take the competition?

The countdown is over... football is back!
