A bit about you:
Name: Dale Bowman
Current home town: Colchester
Birthplace: Colchester
How long have you supported your team? Since day one
Overview of your club:
Favourite thing about your home ground: The noise, we certainly put on an atmosphere!
Favourite match played by your team & why: There has been many in recent years such as the playoff final of the 12/13 season and the FA Cup run to the final last season and beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season for the first time in the league since 1982. The best game I witnessed has to be the game we nickname Crystanbul in the 13/14 season against Liverpool, we were 3-0 down and brought the game back to a 3-3 draw and ruined any hope of them getting there name scribed on the Premier League trophy that season.
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Andrew Johnson
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Wilfried Zaha (He's just too good for you!)
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Mamadou Sakho and Wilfried Zaha, Sakho has been a unit in our defence since his loan arrival from Liverpool and has made our defence much more solid, and Wilfried Zaha is in great form, he has certainly become a lot stronger in holding the ball and pushing past players with his pace and skill ability making a headache for any opposition!
Player in our squad you most fear and why? Has to be between Vardy and Mahrez for me, Mahrez can be a very tricky player on his day and obviously from last season, we know Vardy has an eye for goal! I think Albrighton has had a very good season for you too.
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Wilfried Zaha, he has grown in strength and has become a very tricky player for opposition teams.
How do you think you’ll do against us? If we play anything like we did away to Chelsea or at home to Arsenal, we could win comfortably, however, Leicester have picked up some form in the league recently and look very strong. I can see it being an edgy affair but I got a good feeling we will come out with the 3pts.
General Questions:
Where do you think you'll finish this season? I would like to think we could avoid the drop but it all depends how we get on with our remaining fixtures and obviously other results going our way, we have the toughest run in to the end of the season than a lot of the teams below us with the likes of the Manchester clubs left to play, Tottenham and Liverpool to name a few, I think two more wins could guarantee Premier League football next season, I am going with a 15th place finish.
What did you think to your transfer activity this season? We got in some very good names and a lot of them have proven themselves, I think Benteke, Sakho and Townsend have been excellent additions to the team, Sakho is only with us on loan from Liverpool, but I think we would be incredibly foolish not to try and sign him on a permanent deal, he has been so solid in our defence.
Which three teams do you think will be relegated? Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Swansea
Who do you think will win the league? Chelsea, despite their minor blip to ours truly 😉 I still think they will hold out for the title.
