JOHN RADFORD<br />

Welcome to Robbie Cowling,<br />

<strong>Colchester</strong> <strong>United</strong>’s chairman,<br />

to One Call Stadium for this<br />

evening’s game.<br />

I was pleased to see us continue<br />

our unbeaten run at Harrogate<br />

last Tuesday. The fact that many<br />

of us were slightly disappointed to<br />

leave north Yorkshire with a point<br />

underlines the progression we have<br />

made in recent months. To earn 25<br />

points from a possible 27 is quite<br />

outstanding. The positive mood<br />

around the club, training ground and<br />

town is palpable as we head into the<br />

final 19 games of the season.<br />

I’m sure you will give a warm,<br />

encouraging welcome to our two new<br />

loan signings, Matty Longstaff and<br />

Jamie Murphy.<br />

Our CEO, David Sharpe, and head of<br />

recruitment, Simon Clough, worked<br />

hard to secure the services of these<br />

two players.<br />

The squad certainly appears much<br />

stronger now, in its depth and quality,<br />

than it was at the start of the transfer<br />

window. It’s also heartening to see<br />

the majority of our squad available in<br />

the last three months of the season.<br />

To see James Perch back on the<br />

field in our last home game against<br />

Leyton Orient, and the reception our<br />

supporters gave him after coming on<br />

as a substitute, was terrific to view<br />

and I’m so pleased to see his early<br />

return to action.<br />

Thank you to you all for your<br />

continued support towards the club,<br />

the players and to Nigel and his staff.<br />

If we are to fulfil our ambitions of<br />

success this season it will be because<br />

of a collective effort from every single<br />

one of us.<br />

Let’s keep playing our part in support<br />

towards Nigel and the players.<br />

NIGEL<br />

CLOUGH<br />

Welcome to <strong>Colchester</strong> <strong>United</strong>’s contracts as well as the loan<br />

head coach Wayne Brown, additions of Matty and Jamie, and<br />

along with the fans, staff and<br />

hope the business we’ve done in<br />

supporters from Essex for this January turns out to be successful.<br />

evening’s game.<br />

The last two matches, against<br />

Leyton Orient and Harrogate <strong>Town</strong>,<br />

have been very difficult but we’ve<br />

managed to keep two clean sheets<br />

and earn a total of four points.<br />

We were delighted to set a new club<br />

record of eight successive league<br />

victories against Orient in our last<br />

home league game. It was especially<br />

remarkable to do it in the conditions<br />

in which the game was played.<br />

Against Harrogate a week ago, we<br />

had the outstanding chance of the<br />

game to win it. There were a few<br />

chances and skirmishes at both ends<br />

for both teams to win it, but when<br />

you get as good an opportunity as we<br />

had through Jordan Bowery in the<br />

second half, then we really should<br />

have won the game 1-0.<br />

We can welcome Faz Rawson back<br />

today following suspension and new<br />

signings Jamie Murphy and Matty<br />

Longstaff are also available for us<br />

this evening. George Lapslie will be<br />

a few weeks away from returning.<br />

The two new players will come<br />

and freshen things up, which will<br />

be important when we’re playing<br />

Saturday and then Tuesday.<br />

David and Simon worked very long<br />

hours in the office on deadline day<br />

and we were thrilled with the two<br />

players who we brought in.<br />

We’re heartened to secure JJ on<br />

a permanent deal, Lucas Akins<br />

and Kieran Wallace on permanent<br />

The quality of the aforementioned<br />

signings reflect our recent form,<br />

with players interesting in joining<br />

us now we have an opportunity of<br />

challenging for promotion.<br />

We’ll work as hard as we possibly<br />

can again this evening as part of our<br />

endeavours to extend our unbeaten<br />

run.<br />

Enjoy the game.<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong>’s latest signings,<br />

attacker Jamie Murphy and<br />

midfielder Matty Longstaff, have<br />

been settling into life at <strong>Mansfield</strong><br />

after signing on deadline day.<br />

The pair join the club on loan until<br />

the rest of the season from Hibernian<br />

and Newcastle <strong>United</strong>, respectively.<br />

A product of the Magpies’ academy,<br />

Longstaff joins the Stags with good<br />

pedigree having scored twice for<br />

the Toon in 14 Premier League<br />

appearances.<br />

The 21-year-old made his debut<br />

for <strong>United</strong> in August 2019 against<br />

Leicester City in the EFL Cup.<br />

Two months later, the midfielder<br />

secured a Premier League Goal of<br />

the Month award for an outstanding<br />

strike against Manchester <strong>United</strong> at<br />

St. James’ Park.<br />

Matty scored against the Red Devils<br />

for a second time in the reverse<br />

fixture at Old Trafford.<br />

The Rotherham-born maestro signed<br />

a contract extension with Newcastle<br />

at the end of the 19-20 season,<br />

playing alongside his older brother<br />

Sean.<br />

STAGS LAND DEADLINE DAY DUO<br />

On his first few days’ training with the<br />

Stags Matty said: “It’s been great.<br />

“The manager has been great. It’s<br />

good to meet all my teammates and<br />

I’ve really enjoyed training,<br />

“It was good to get playing with<br />

them.<br />

“I’m looking forward to the rest of the<br />

season.”<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong>’s second deadline day<br />

addition, Jamie Murphy, reunites<br />

with Stags’ boss Nigel Clough who he<br />

played under at both Sheffield <strong>United</strong><br />

and Burton Albion.<br />

The former Scottish international<br />

began his career at Motherwell,<br />

making his debut in 2006 before<br />

recording a further 175 appearances.<br />

Jamie, who can also play in midfield,<br />

scored 34 times for the Steelmen,<br />

becoming the club’s all-time top<br />

goalscorer in European football.<br />

The Glaswegian left his homeland<br />

in 2013, swapping Edinburgh for<br />

south Yorkshire as he joined Sheffield<br />

<strong>United</strong> on a permanent deal.<br />

After two seasons with the Blades,<br />

the Glasgow-born wideman joined<br />

Brighton & Hove Albion. In the 2016-<br />

17 season, Murphy made 37 league<br />

appearances – scoring six goals - as<br />

Brighton gained promotion to the<br />

Premier League.<br />

After a year-and-a-half in the English<br />

topflight, the midfielder signed for<br />

Glasgow Rangers where he spent<br />

three years. During that time he<br />

represented the club in the qualifying<br />

stages of the Champions League.<br />

A loan spell at Burton Albion in<br />

2020 saw him again link up with<br />

Stags’ chief Nigel Clough. Under the<br />

manager, Jamie scored seven times<br />

in just ten matches for the Brewers.<br />

On working again with the gaffer,<br />

Jamie said: “Obviously, having<br />

worked with the manager before I<br />

knew what he wants and [I’m excited]<br />

for the opportunity to come down [to<br />

England] and have a new challenge,”<br />

said the forward.<br />

“He’s good. He’s very fair. If you work<br />

hard for him then he’ll work hard for<br />

you on and off the pitch.<br />

“You want to repay him. You want to<br />

repay all the staff because they’re all<br />

great, hopefully I can do that.”<br />

THE<br />

ACADEMY<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> under-18s’ forward, Jack<br />

Deakin, provides an update on life at<br />

the academy…<br />

feel that the team is developing<br />

I as the weeks go on. I think we’re<br />

getting stronger now, especially<br />

because we are having more time<br />

with each other.<br />

The bond us players have is great,<br />

and our fitness is improving. We’ve<br />

had a couple of games postponed<br />

recently so it will be interesting to<br />

see if we can get back to how we<br />

were playing before the break over<br />

Christmas.<br />

Personally, I think I started off the<br />

season a bit shaky, but I got my<br />

form up to top standard throughout<br />

winter.<br />

If I’m wanting to be up there with the<br />

first team, then I’ve got to keep that<br />

form up. That’s what motivates me<br />

the most.<br />

The people around me help. The<br />

staff help me with shooting drills,<br />

my combination and hold-up play. It<br />

would be disappointing if the form<br />

drops as everyone puts in a lot of<br />

effort to make sure I have the best<br />

chance of becoming a good player.<br />

We go through a lot of specific<br />

positions that both me and the rest of<br />

the team should be taking up.<br />

My hold-up play is something that<br />

I’ve been working on with the<br />

coaches. It is important part of my<br />

position as a striker. In training, we<br />

practice fizzing balls into me and<br />

dealing with it. If we don’t look after<br />

it there, at the top end of the pitch,<br />

then we don’t have a chance of<br />

scoring.<br />

We get taught that it’s not a selfish<br />

sport and that we’ve got to be there<br />

for our teammates and give them<br />

opportunities to score as well.<br />

Preparation is key. We all have to<br />

make sure we eat and sleep right the<br />

day before games and make sure our<br />

mentality is right.<br />

We’re all hoping to win as many<br />

games as we can between now<br />

and the end of the season.<br />

We know some games<br />

are going to be harder<br />

than others but<br />

we’re working hard.<br />

I want to make<br />

sure I’m providing<br />

goals and assists<br />

again. Helping<br />

the team is<br />

the most<br />

important<br />

thing for me.<br />

PEAFIELD LANE WIN<br />

JOHN RADFORD TROPHY<br />

Peafield Lane Primary School have<br />

won the inaugural John Radford<br />

Trophy, organised by Football in<br />

the Community.<br />

Monday 31 January saw the John<br />

Radford Trophy finals take place<br />

at RH Academy, the club’s training<br />

ground. After two qualifying rounds,<br />

Primary School, Peafield Lane<br />

Academy, Berry Hill Primary School<br />

and Croft Primary School made it to<br />

the finals of the competition. All four<br />

schools were very deserving of their<br />

place, after delivering some fantastic<br />

performances in the previous<br />

qualifying rounds.<br />

Each team played each other twice in<br />

a round-robin format, the team with<br />

the most points at the end took home<br />

the trophy.<br />

After the first three rounds of fixtures,<br />

Peafield and Croft were tied at the<br />

top with six points each, Berry Hill<br />

had four and Abbey were in fourth<br />

place with one. Peafield began the<br />

finals with a strong 4-0 victory against<br />

Abbey but became stuck against<br />

Berry Hill in a highly-competitive<br />

game, Berry Hill won the clash 2-1.<br />

Croft started strong with two victories<br />

WHO’S WHO<br />

out of three, maintaining their record<br />

as the only unbeaten side in the<br />

tournament.<br />

In the end, Peafield Lane were<br />

crowned as champions and winners<br />

of the John Radford Trophy, as they<br />

marched on to another two wins and<br />

a draw, defeating Croft in the final<br />

game. Peafield topped the table with<br />

13 points, Berry Hill finished closely<br />

behind on 11 points. Croft took third<br />

place with nine points and Abbey<br />

came fourth with one.<br />

Community manager Gary Shaw<br />

shared his thoughts on the Finals.<br />

“This was the most competitive this<br />

tournament has ever been since we<br />

started it eight years ago, that is a<br />

huge credit to all teams involved,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It really could have gone either way<br />

and it was an exciting watch, Peafield,<br />

Berry Hill and Croft all could have<br />

won it in the last fixture, which you<br />

love to see.<br />

“My congratulations go to Peafield,<br />

who get to take our trophy home this<br />

year.”<br />

Peafield Lane class teacher Corey<br />

Nightingale stated how much it<br />

meant for the players, after the<br />

tournament had been called off for<br />

the past few years due to Covid-19.<br />

“They have been looking forward to<br />

it,” said Mr. Nightingale.<br />

“They’ve been getting ready and<br />

talking about it all day, so they’ve<br />

been absolutely buzzing and are<br />

really pleased to win it.”<br />

Stags’ ladies manager Andi Bell<br />

reflects on her team’s derby day loss<br />

to promotion rivals Chesterfield…<br />

The game last weekend was a bit of<br />

a disappointing day for us. I don’t<br />

think that 3-0 was a fair reflection<br />

of the match, we had a lot of<br />

possession and we played up until<br />

a point in the game.<br />

We lacked creativity throughout but,<br />

credit to Chesterfield they had three<br />

shots and scored three goals. They<br />

were clinical and we weren’t, it just<br />

didn’t come off for us on Sunday and<br />

that will be something that needs to<br />

be worked on in training. There were<br />

a few opportunities that we didn’t<br />

quite turn into chances, but we’ve<br />

worked on that in training since<br />

and hope to make the most of our<br />

positive moments in the next game.<br />

We’re relying on other teams slipping<br />

up now if we’re to get promoted<br />

but there are four or five teams in a<br />

similar position. We’ve got plenty to<br />

play for and plenty to push on for.<br />

We spent a couple of days analysing<br />

what we could have done differently<br />

in the Chesterfield match, but I think<br />

it just wasn’t our day.<br />

We’re still a good team. There are<br />

elements that we are doing well and<br />

I think the most important thing will<br />

be to highlight those aspects.<br />

Games are coming thick and fast and<br />

to move on from the loss we must<br />

think positively. We can’t change the<br />

past, but we can learn from it and<br />

that’s the mentality that I’ll be instil<br />

into our squad.<br />

We have a cup game this week<br />

against a team in a lower division,<br />

Loughborough. No game is a given,<br />

despite being in a higher division<br />

we must approach the game<br />

professionally. As long as we work<br />

hard, we should come through the<br />

match with a win.<br />

With regards to the league,<br />

it is a really competitive<br />

league this season,<br />

everyone can beat<br />

everyone.<br />

We’ve just got to look<br />

at what we control.<br />

Promotion is still<br />

the aim, it’s what we<br />

want. Hopefully, we<br />

will win all our games<br />

from now until the<br />

end of the season and<br />

then we’ll see where that<br />

can take us come the end of<br />

the season.<br />
