Colchester come calling thread.
 

Cashy should've kicked this one off, BUT as my record is 'not bad ' this season, AND he'll be at the game, its up to me to take on the challenge. C'MON YOU REDS

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Can't Score for toffee first half !! Had some great chances but no end product so far. Second half hopefully will put a couple in the onion bag 🙂 coyrs

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

...and some corners...we used to regularly have Stanley games that produced 12+ corners between teams...that seems to have become fewer and farther.. (I like chucking them in 'Bet Builders' )

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Goal rush second half?

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

0 - 1 united 😔

Oooops,

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

I blame Valairian for predicting we’d lose!


:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

...better than blaming me for starting thread...

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

For christ sake STANLEY-feckin get a goal or two

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Wombles have conceded four for the second game in a row

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Stupid Stanley..not happy...will try very hard to get 2 hours sleep in before the All Blacks either bring back my happiness, OR make me and 5,000,000 really ****ed off. .Truth is, I would've taken 3 points today and sacrificed the pleasure of a Rugby world cup win..probably get nowt.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

I think you’re the better side, so I’m hoping someone tramples de Klerk into the mud and the All Blacks win

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

One of the most frustrating afternoon’s at The Wham for some time.
The positives were that both Gubbins and Pickles were excellent and the absence of Hills and JRB was not significant, and Dan Martin more than deserved his MotM award.
But Colchester’s keeper probably deserved that award, and he was supported by a stalwart defensive performance from Colchester.
The negatives from Stanley were some poor touches and some bl**dy awful shooting in the first half.
Fortunately other results didn’t punish the league standing too much.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

We could have scored 6 or more !

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

We should have scored 6 or more.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Cannot argue with that D3N :(


:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Agree completely :)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Spot on AccyMad :)

Thought we passed it around superbly :)


:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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......



:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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 :(

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

And we should have scored four......

:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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....

:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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


:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

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.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

apart from injuries when has our management EVER brought anyone on at halftime?

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Last Tuesday at Wimbledon Coley brought on Nolan for Leigh at half time. Was it for an injury?

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

A game which springs to mind is Stockport the other week....
Quirk, Pickles and Josh Woods..... Seb lasted 30 seconds......



:)

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

It was reported after that match that Tommy Leigh had turned his ankle, or something similar.
Tbh, I suspect Tommy wasn’t fully fit on Saturday as his ‘touch’ was way off his usual standard.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

I agree Exile. It's Coley's biggest failing. Playing players who aren't fully fit instead of a player who is fit but a second choice in that position.

Re: Colchester come calling thread.
 

Notwithstanding individual players qualities, our managers inability to change tactics when things go wrong played a large part in our relegation last season IMHO.
Some will say our managers past record speaks for itself, which is quite true.
Unfortunately, the problem with following the same game plan every week is that our opponents know it all too well.
