A very flattering scoreline so far, but I'll take that.
Colchester look decent

Struggling to see what Carroll offers to be honest. He loses the ball and then blames everyone

Well we probably didn't deserve that on the run of play but who cares, win agly for once, so many teams do it to us.
Lots of passengers for Town but we held on in there and got 2 excellently worked goals from unlikely scorers.
I would get Bennett off and Anderson on for the 2nd, still not convinced with Knoyle at LB and would probably bring Koiki on and put Knoyle back to RB, and move Woolf to CB.
Robinson has run his socks off up front.
Win ugly Town, that will keep us in it.

Conroy's ball that helped with the 2nd was a thing of beauty.

Really cage, tight game for 40 mins. Both sides terrified of over committing knowing the other is lethal on the break, then bang.
Everyone solid, even Carroll despite a dodgy first 15, but a trio stand out - Knoyle is keeping one of the best wide players in the division very quiet, Broadbent is such an upgrade even on Nelson and very much my new favorite player and lastly Robinson is a revalation. chases, holds everything up, had quality on the ball and so direct.
Not an enthralling performance, but very solid and two efficient goals.

It's almost as though Wellens know what he's doing. |

That great 2nd goal came straight from a pass backwards to conroy which the crowd signalled their contempt at. They did it again when Knoyle checked back and laid it off to Dunne instead of whipping it in straight away.
Believe it or not, sometimes professional footballers have a better idea of what they’re supposed to be doing than most of the cretins in the crowd.

Currently 5pts from 5th place with a game in hand. Interesting times. It would be nice to stick a couple more in and turn that GD into a +1. Likely Colchester would risk shit or bust 2nd half, so if patient we could strategically add 2 or maybe 3 more for a 5-0. Maybe saying 7-1 wasn't so silly after all? However, as mentioned earlier, 2-0 or 3-0 would be a rout for Town this season.
C.O.Y.R
It's still the hope that gets you. Form team into the POs would make for a very positive season end if successful or not. Has the Football League relegation trapdoor closed for 2018/19 yet? 20pts clear with 33pts (for others) available? FWIW and it isn't worth much, I still think the last PO spot will be attained by a team with under 70pts.

Would fancy us to grab another on the break now, Robinson and Woolery have the beating of them and the ball will hold up a bit for long balls into the channel. I cannot figure out what Bennett is doing on the pitch though -he has that Norris knack of being in just the wrong place all the time so spends a lot of the match watching the game go on around him. Win this and there is still hope - Wellens at least has us looking competitive. We were not at the races for much of that half but we seem a bit more solid and seem to have more threat up top at the moment, Robinson has been a good signing.

From the Colchester forum.... this Swindon team are absolutely shocking. The whole game is being played at half pace, if we step it up we can win this comfortably.
Absolutely criminal defending, they haven’t had a sniff and then we gift them two goals in as many minutes
You really wouldn't believe what a truly terrible team Swindon have been up until we gifted them the first, but we've dropped to their level. We really need to inject some pace, it's being played like they are running through treacle. |

We've not been great today but fuck me, we're far from terrible.

Indeed, a very smart move so far as Senior is a serious threat at this level. |

Senior is their only player to threaten us so far really, Nouble is a donkey. |

I'd agree - Knoyle is clearly in to provide one on one marking and Woolfenden to give us some height as they are a big team.
