The 2000–01 season was Colchester United's third consecutive season in the third tier of English football.
Season Review
After scoring 14 goals in the previous season, it seemed unlikely that Colchester were going to hold on to Lomana LuaLua for long, and a stunning hat-trick at QPR turned a 1-0 first leg defeat into a 4-3 aggregate win. The virtuoso performance by the youngster from Kinshasa persuaded Newcastle boss Bobby Robson to part with a staggering £2.25m in September 2000. It was a fantastic deal for Colchester and secured the medium term future of the club.
The FA Cup dream ended, as usual, at the hands of non-League opposition. Yeovil hammered United 5-1, securing ample revenge for the 7-1 replay win United had inflicted at Huish Park in 1958.
In the league, Steve Whitton steered his troops to six points clear of relegation.[2]
