The word “defeat” hasn’t exactly been in our vocabulary this season. Aside from cup exits at the hands of Southampton and Dagenham and Redbridge, it’s been a bountiful start to the League One campaign. The fact is this: it has taken us until midway through the third month of 2012-13 …
A bit of Roman history for you there. Camulodunum obviously being the historic name for what we oiks now call Colchester. And like the Romans, last season was a tale of going and seeing and conquering. In a six-goal fashion. But let’s nip this in the bud right now – …
