I went to the game today (I live in Essex) and I must say that Matt Ritchie was by far the best player on the park today. As for Risser, he made some good tackles, but gave the ball away far too cheaply, and does seem to not be able to read the game as quick as the players around him. Maybe in time he will improve, but as it stands at the moment, he shouldn't be in a promotion-chasing team.
kerrouche was a bit of a strange one today. Didn't really get into the game, but neither did Magera (who really really needs to learn how to jump), so to sub him off after 25 minutes was strange. But it all worked out in the end
Colchester were absolutely appalling today. Flint had their main striker in his pocket for most of the match, and Colchester's tactics seemed to be to hoof it up to their centre forward (who was a tall, well built guy) and hope he can hold it up. So Flint had that in control
In summary, a great win for the Town, who could and should have won by a more comfortable margin, especially as we nearly threw it away at the end, only for our 'keeper to save well in the 93rd minute. And that was pretty much the only save he had to make all game.
