JOHN RADFORD
Welcome to Robbie Cowling,
Colchester United’s chairman,
to One Call Stadium for this
evening’s game.
I was pleased to see us continue
our unbeaten run at Harrogate
last Tuesday. The fact that many
of us were slightly disappointed to
leave north Yorkshire with a point
underlines the progression we have
made in recent months. To earn 25
points from a possible 27 is quite
outstanding. The positive mood
around the club, training ground and
town is palpable as we head into the
final 19 games of the season.
I’m sure you will give a warm,
encouraging welcome to our two new
loan signings, Matty Longstaff and
Jamie Murphy.
Our CEO, David Sharpe, and head of
recruitment, Simon Clough, worked
hard to secure the services of these
two players.
The squad certainly appears much
stronger now, in its depth and quality,
than it was at the start of the transfer
window. It’s also heartening to see
the majority of our squad available in
the last three months of the season.
To see James Perch back on the
field in our last home game against
Leyton Orient, and the reception our
supporters gave him after coming on
as a substitute, was terrific to view
and I’m so pleased to see his early
return to action.
Thank you to you all for your
continued support towards the club,
the players and to Nigel and his staff.
If we are to fulfil our ambitions of
success this season it will be because
of a collective effort from every single
one of us.
Let’s keep playing our part in support
towards Nigel and the players.
COYS!!!

NIGEL
CLOUGH
Welcome to Colchester United’s contracts as well as the loan
head coach Wayne Brown, additions of Matty and Jamie, and
along with the fans, staff and
hope the business we’ve done in
supporters from Essex for this January turns out to be successful.
evening’s game.
The last two matches, against
Leyton Orient and Harrogate Town,
have been very difficult but we’ve
managed to keep two clean sheets
and earn a total of four points.
We were delighted to set a new club
record of eight successive league
victories against Orient in our last
home league game. It was especially
remarkable to do it in the conditions
in which the game was played.
Against Harrogate a week ago, we
had the outstanding chance of the
game to win it. There were a few
chances and skirmishes at both ends
for both teams to win it, but when
you get as good an opportunity as we
had through Jordan Bowery in the
second half, then we really should
have won the game 1-0.
We can welcome Faz Rawson back
today following suspension and new
signings Jamie Murphy and Matty
Longstaff are also available for us
this evening. George Lapslie will be
a few weeks away from returning.
The two new players will come
and freshen things up, which will
be important when we’re playing
Saturday and then Tuesday.
David and Simon worked very long
hours in the office on deadline day
and we were thrilled with the two
players who we brought in.
We’re heartened to secure JJ on
a permanent deal, Lucas Akins
and Kieran Wallace on permanent
The quality of the aforementioned
signings reflect our recent form,
with players interesting in joining
us now we have an opportunity of
challenging for promotion.
We’ll work as hard as we possibly
can again this evening as part of our
endeavours to extend our unbeaten
run.
Enjoy the game.

Mansfield Town’s latest signings,
attacker Jamie Murphy and
midfielder Matty Longstaff, have
been settling into life at Mansfield
after signing on deadline day.
The pair join the club on loan until
the rest of the season from Hibernian
and Newcastle United, respectively.
A product of the Magpies’ academy,
Longstaff joins the Stags with good
pedigree having scored twice for
the Toon in 14 Premier League
appearances.
The 21-year-old made his debut
for United in August 2019 against
Leicester City in the EFL Cup.
Two months later, the midfielder
secured a Premier League Goal of
the Month award for an outstanding
strike against Manchester United at
St. James’ Park.
Matty scored against the Red Devils
for a second time in the reverse
fixture at Old Trafford.
The Rotherham-born maestro signed
a contract extension with Newcastle
at the end of the 19-20 season,
playing alongside his older brother
Sean.
STAGS LAND DEADLINE DAY DUO
On his first few days’ training with the
Stags Matty said: “It’s been great.
“The manager has been great. It’s
good to meet all my teammates and
I’ve really enjoyed training,
“It was good to get playing with
them.
“I’m looking forward to the rest of the
season.”
Mansfield’s second deadline day
addition, Jamie Murphy, reunites
with Stags’ boss Nigel Clough who he
played under at both Sheffield United
and Burton Albion.
The former Scottish international
began his career at Motherwell,
making his debut in 2006 before
recording a further 175 appearances.
Jamie, who can also play in midfield,
scored 34 times for the Steelmen,
becoming the club’s all-time top
goalscorer in European football.
The Glaswegian left his homeland
in 2013, swapping Edinburgh for
south Yorkshire as he joined Sheffield
United on a permanent deal.
After two seasons with the Blades,
the Glasgow-born wideman joined
Brighton & Hove Albion. In the 2016-
17 season, Murphy made 37 league
appearances – scoring six goals - as
Brighton gained promotion to the
Premier League.
After a year-and-a-half in the English
topflight, the midfielder signed for
Glasgow Rangers where he spent
three years. During that time he
represented the club in the qualifying
stages of the Champions League.
A loan spell at Burton Albion in
2020 saw him again link up with
Stags’ chief Nigel Clough. Under the
manager, Jamie scored seven times
in just ten matches for the Brewers.
On working again with the gaffer,
Jamie said: “Obviously, having
worked with the manager before I
knew what he wants and [I’m excited]
for the opportunity to come down [to
England] and have a new challenge,”
said the forward.
“He’s good. He’s very fair. If you work
hard for him then he’ll work hard for
you on and off the pitch.
“You want to repay him. You want to
repay all the staff because they’re all
great, hopefully I can do that.”

THE
ACADEMY
Mansfield under-18s’ forward, Jack
Deakin, provides an update on life at
the academy…
feel that the team is developing
I as the weeks go on. I think we’re
getting stronger now, especially
because we are having more time
with each other.
The bond us players have is great,
and our fitness is improving. We’ve
had a couple of games postponed
recently so it will be interesting to
see if we can get back to how we
were playing before the break over
Christmas.
Personally, I think I started off the
season a bit shaky, but I got my
form up to top standard throughout
winter.
If I’m wanting to be up there with the
first team, then I’ve got to keep that
form up. That’s what motivates me
the most.
The people around me help. The
staff help me with shooting drills,
my combination and hold-up play. It
would be disappointing if the form
drops as everyone puts in a lot of
effort to make sure I have the best
chance of becoming a good player.
We go through a lot of specific
positions that both me and the rest of
the team should be taking up.
My hold-up play is something that
I’ve been working on with the
coaches. It is important part of my
position as a striker. In training, we
practice fizzing balls into me and
dealing with it. If we don’t look after
it there, at the top end of the pitch,
then we don’t have a chance of
scoring.
We get taught that it’s not a selfish
sport and that we’ve got to be there
for our teammates and give them
opportunities to score as well.
Preparation is key. We all have to
make sure we eat and sleep right the
day before games and make sure our
mentality is right.
We’re all hoping to win as many
games as we can between now
and the end of the season.
We know some games
are going to be harder
than others but
we’re working hard.
I want to make
sure I’m providing
goals and assists
again. Helping
the team is
the most
important
thing for me.

ground. After two qualifying rounds,
Primary School, Peafield Lane
Academy, Berry Hill Primary School
and Croft Primary School made it to
the finals of the competition. All four
schools were very deserving of their
place, after delivering some fantastic
performances in the previous
qualifying rounds.
Each team played each other twice in
a round-robin format, the team with
the most points at the end took home
the trophy.
After the first three rounds of fixtures,
Peafield and Croft were tied at the
top with six points each, Berry Hill
had four and Abbey were in fourth
place with one. Peafield began the
finals with a strong 4-0 victory against
Abbey but became stuck against
Berry Hill in a highly-competitive
game, Berry Hill won the clash 2-1.
Croft started strong with two victories
WHO’S WHO
out of three, maintaining their record
as the only unbeaten side in the
tournament.
In the end, Peafield Lane were
crowned as champions and winners
of the John Radford Trophy, as they
marched on to another two wins and
a draw, defeating Croft in the final
game. Peafield topped the table with
13 points, Berry Hill finished closely
behind on 11 points. Croft took third
place with nine points and Abbey
came fourth with one.
Community manager Gary Shaw
shared his thoughts on the Finals.
“This was the most competitive this
tournament has ever been since we
started it eight years ago, that is a
huge credit to all teams involved,”
he said.
“It really could have gone either way
and it was an exciting watch, Peafield,
Berry Hill and Croft all could have
won it in the last fixture, which you
love to see.
“My congratulations go to Peafield,
who get to take our trophy home this
year.”
Peafield Lane class teacher Corey
Nightingale stated how much it
meant for the players, after the
tournament had been called off for
the past few years due to Covid-19.
“They have been looking forward to
it,” said Mr. Nightingale.
“They’ve been getting ready and
talking about it all day, so they’ve
been absolutely buzzing and are
really pleased to win it.”

Stags’ ladies manager Andi Bell
reflects on her team’s derby day loss
to promotion rivals Chesterfield…
The game last weekend was a bit of
a disappointing day for us. I don’t
think that 3-0 was a fair reflection
of the match, we had a lot of
possession and we played up until
a point in the game.
We lacked creativity throughout but,
credit to Chesterfield they had three
shots and scored three goals. They
were clinical and we weren’t, it just
didn’t come off for us on Sunday and
that will be something that needs to
be worked on in training. There were
a few opportunities that we didn’t
quite turn into chances, but we’ve
worked on that in training since
and hope to make the most of our
positive moments in the next game.
We’re relying on other teams slipping
up now if we’re to get promoted
but there are four or five teams in a
similar position. We’ve got plenty to
play for and plenty to push on for.
We spent a couple of days analysing
what we could have done differently
in the Chesterfield match, but I think
it just wasn’t our day.
We’re still a good team. There are
elements that we are doing well and
I think the most important thing will
be to highlight those aspects.
Games are coming thick and fast and
to move on from the loss we must
think positively. We can’t change the
past, but we can learn from it and
that’s the mentality that I’ll be instil
into our squad.
We have a cup game this week
against a team in a lower division,
Loughborough. No game is a given,
despite being in a higher division
we must approach the game
professionally. As long as we work
hard, we should come through the
match with a win.
With regards to the league,
it is a really competitive
league this season,
everyone can beat
everyone.
We’ve just got to look
at what we control.
Promotion is still
the aim, it’s what we
want. Hopefully, we
will win all our games
from now until the
end of the season and
then we’ll see where that
can take us come the end of
the season.

different home shirt from our
history on its cover. Sponsored
by Abacus and created by
manufacturers Activity, Stags
wore a striped jersey in 1994-95,
a season where the amber and
blue finished in sixth position in
the Third Division.
