Mega Pod #1

Back-to-back wins for the U’s! 🔵⚪

Aaron is joined by Si and Dave for a mega review and preview pod, starting with Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Rochdaleat the JobServe Community Stadium.

We look back at a slow first half before discussing the changes that transformed the game. Danny Cowley switched to a back three and introduced Jaden Williams, Leon Chiwome and Kien Connelly, with the substitutes giving the U’s a new lease of life.

And what a way to win it! Jaden Williams’ brilliant 87th-minute finish, from Kane Vincent-Young’s cross, secured all three points and back-to-back victories for Colchester.

Then attention turns to Bristol Rovers away.

Rovers have started the season with two wins from three, including an entertaining 5-3 victory over Newport and a 2-0 win against Crawley. We take a closer look at the threat posed by the in-form Fabrizio Cavegn and Bobby Kamwa.

Should Williams now come into the starting XI? Has the switch to three at the back given Danny another option? And can the U’s make it three wins on the bounce?

Plus, we pick our starting XIs and finish with our score predictions.
