Colchester United has only won two of its first 10 League Two games, making it a challenging start to the season. Now, manager Danny Cowley has acknowledged that he might have erred during their weekend’s scoreless draw with Carlisle United.
The U’s had only triumphed in one of their previous six fourth-tier games, a 3-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers at home on September 21st, thanks to two goals each from striker Lyle Taylor.
Manager Talks About Disruption Before Carlisle United Match
The weekend’s match between Colchester United and Carlisle ended in an unforgettable goalless draw, although the home club was always in the hunt for the win and did get better in the second half. With a combined seven shots between them, Jack Payne and Taylor accounted for half of the team’s total, but they were unable to break the deadlock, and The U’s suffered their fourth draw in their previous six games.
Although Danny Cowley has since acknowledged that his team selection may have contributed to the slow start, he has also disclosed that his team had to undergo alterations due to circumstances that transpired the night before the game. Aaron Donnelly, a defender, said that their preparations were affected by the sad event that occurred on Friday night when his mother became unwell. The Daily Gazette reported that he stated:
“On Friday evening, Jamie McCDonnell’s family and Aaron Donnelly’s family travelled over from Ireland and had dinner together.
Aaron had an interrupted night as a result of his mother becoming very sick and needing to be admitted to the hospital.
We most likely had to make changes to the squad as a result, and as a result, the selection process wasn’t exactly perfect.
However, these are things that we should absorb, learn, and always strive to own.
“I have to give the guys credit because they came out and played a really good second half after we were allowed to make changes.”
Colchester United continues to adjust following a hectic summer transfer window.
Colchester United, who aimed to improve on their previous two campaigns in the fourth tier, where they finished in 20th and 22nd place, had one of the busiest windows in the EFL. Following a number of significant departures, they made an amazing recruiting class that included Teddy Bishop, Tom Flanagan, and Payne among other talented players.
There have been 14 new players added to the squad, either permanently or temporarily, and the club has undergone a period of upheaval as Danny Cowley takes charge for the first time in his first full season. They have been competitive in nearly every game and seem to be a much stronger team than in prior campaigns, so their best may still be ahead of them.
After the international break, Colchester United, who currently have 11 points and are in 16th place, will play host to Cheltenham Town. After losing two and drawing three of their opening five games away from the Jobserve Community Stadium, they head to Chesterfield three days later in an attempt to win their first away game of the League Two season.
