Town boss Mick McCarthy made his second visit to the Weston Homes Community Stadium in a week tonight to catch Colchester United’s 0-0 League One draw with Rotherham.

The Blues manager, who watched Town’s U21s win this afternoon, was previously at Colchester’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United last Tuesday.

McCarthy may have been keeping tabs on a specific player - Town-supporting keeper Sam Walker who recently joined the U's on a permanent basis from Chelsea is highly rated and was the standout performer against the Blades - or may just have been casting a more general eye over the teams.

GerkensBeard added 23:00 - Mar 4 Been looking at keepers for the number 1 spot next season and I think Boro Keeper Jason Steele would be a great shout. Brilliant number 1 but been cast out due to the arrival of Shay Given. Would be cheap and is a very good keeper in this division. You know it makes sense Mick

keebs_itfc added 04:50 - Mar 5 Interesting thoughts considering the season Gerken is having! Can't believe Mick is looking for a No.1 GK with the amount of MOTM displays Gerken's had then Loach when he's come in.

BrettenhamBlue added 08:03 - Mar 5 It is unlikely to be a goalkeeper. Though rumours are often just that, a number of U's fans believe it could be Sanchez Watt. Interesting player. Wanted by arsenal and Barcelona and has ended up at Weston homes.

SouperJim added 09:16 - Mar 5 Loach could well be on his way in the summer, so I wouldn't be surprised if Mick is lining up a replacement. Seems likely that he's got his eye on someone at Colchester, but we can only speculate as to what player/position.

PhilTWTD added 09:22 - Mar 5 Sanchez Watt is less likely as he was suspended for the game Mick went to last week.

Jimmy86 added 13:17 - Mar 5 Will be interesting who, if anyone Mick is going there to watch. We signed Woody from Col U having scouted him regularly for a period of time and now for whatever reason he's not getting a look in. Probably because he doesn't run around like a headless chicken and doesn't do the boring jobs well. Least he tries to make things happen though

muccletonjoe added 18:20 - Mar 5 it is almost definitely sam walker , and a very good signing he would be imo

blueboy1981 added 20:04 - Mar 5 Jimmy86 ............ absolutely right - Wordsworth is a class act. Just not MM's type of player.

wayway added 21:06 - Mar 5 Perhaps he was there to meet the Colchester chairman, I think Dunne is on borrowed time and I reckon they want Boring Billy to take over. We can but hope
