 this thread has turned out a bit different to how I imagined when asking the question
But for me and Daniel, we will be coming up to that age soon. So,we'll take your advice on board 
Health system completely knackered over here in NZ! 
Trying to change the government over here, after they are prioritising Race and other "populist" ideas over health, homes, jobs etc, seems more difficult than getting a colonoscopy! Preliminary election results have the current sh!te coalition government getting back in, but us "lefties" are hoping and praying for the results to flip after the 'special votes' (overseas and votes not cast in your usual electorate) are counted and confirmed in a couple of weeks!
Thanks for all your advise team. I guess the NHS would say to give up supporting Col U would be the best thing to do for your health - but that drug is the hardest to give up!

I should be able to do 'Tue 1 Dec 19:45 - Grimsby Town (A)'.
However, won't be able to help with any others until the New Year. |

83: We're seven minutes away from a meaningless penalty shootout. 0-0.
When was the last time we won one of them? Spurs at home? |

64: Kien Connolly misses the biggest chance of the game, lifting a shot over from a golden position for Col U.
Kane Vincent-Young among a trio of home subs introduced. 0-0 |

EADT:
I'm told that the new 4th official - plucked from the crowd - is former ITFC U18s physio Amy Purcer. Colchester boss Danny Cowley currently giving her an earful. |

HT: Colchester United 0 Ipswich Town U21s 0
Proper dead rubber vibes. Game lacks edge. No clear cut chance for either side. A few injury stoppages - including one for the linesman - have dragged it out further.
If it finishes in a draw we will have a pretty pointless penalty shootout to determine who gets the bonus point. |

according to the EADT:
First team duo Jack Taylor and Kasey McAteer start for Town.
Taylor, who started in the previous group game at Peterborough, continues his recovery from summer knee surgery.
Fellow Ireland international McAteer another who hasn't been making first team squads of late. Hasn't featured for Gary O'Neil's men since starting the League Cup loss to Arsenal in mid-September. |

in other Jersey Mike's Trophy news....
Tovide doesn't make the squad for Huddersfield Town even though they have already qualified out of their group! I see he started at the weekend in Town's 1-2 defeat to Exeter and he was withdrawn at half-time, so injury maybe???
Currently 1-0 up at home to Liverpool U21s. Joe Taylor (again) with the goal!  |

This link shows the subs as well.
So, no Bishop or Lubala.
My 3-1 prediction is looking less and less likely with that team/squad.
A chance for Ihionvien to gain some confidence with a first half hattrick!

thanks for picking this up for me RSCOSWORTH - it's been one of those weeks!
Bishop and Lubala could get 45 mins each as they have been "back on the grass"
The visitors are managed by former Colchester United head coach John McGreal, who is very much still familiar with the JobServe Community Stadium due to the Town U21s playing ‘home’ matches here. McGreal spent four years in charge of the U's between 2016 and 2020, guiding the club to three consecutive top-half League Two finishes and a memorable run to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Although knocked out of the Football League Trophy, the young farmers are 2nd in their National League Cup group after beating Aldershot Town away 0-5 in their last match!
As Wessex mention on a YouTube video, what more motivation do the young U's need than knowing that they are playing Ipswich! So, with that in mind, I'll go 3-1 to the U's Youth!
