We should have scored 6 or more.

For my two penn'orth, today reminded me of playing Stevenage - Colchester put 10 men behind the ball for 90 minutes & capitalised on one mistake by us to break & score their goal.
A very frustrating afternoon for us & I'm still wondering how on earth at least one of our chances didn't go in

Spot on AccyMad

Thought we passed it around superbly

On a separate note, I have to say that the nonsense at the end with their keeper and some of the supporters behind the goals - Clayton End - was getting out of hand!!

It is becoming worse game on game and was too much yesterday

This then led to both teams getting involved, which could lead to a fine......

Wondered what was happening at the end & why there were still Colchester players milling about - not a good reflection on our club

Mind you, you were the only player to get more than one point (you scored 4)

I think 13 people scored one point for Colchester’s goal …. No one thought we’d draw a blank

they were the worst side we have played this season and they BEAT US.imho.

Inspector Morse · 29-10-2023, 17:29

Would we have won yesterday if Coley had bought that gypsy heather?

cashman · 29-10-2023, 17:43

would have had more chance if Nolan was played he must have laidmore on than anyone.

Cashy, there were very well organised and defended well.

They had a game plan and carried it out perfectly.

Newport and Sutton to name but two were far worse....

Cashy, you are not right, he was poor to say the least and I like Jack.

So the baaa's came with a game plan - and it worked!
The devious beggars! Bet they laughed all the way home.
Stand by for other visitors adopting exactly the same methods.
Our management should have twigged the situation by half time & come up with an effective counter measure instead of just hoping Plan 'A' would produce goals.
