Ok then what should we do with Cureton. I think option two.

Remember this poll may influence what actually happens.

(Although it might not.)

As long as he earns his place in the team and not walks straight back in as it is unfair on those that have worked hard in his absence.

With Fallon possibly gone, who with the possible exception of Bouazza (who may also be gone) has worked hard???

If they have gone then fair enough - but its if they haven't.   Hoping that won't be the case.

I agree lady, he cant just walk back in but we arent scoring as a team.

I do see Jan's point just we weren't scoring with him either!  just worried that he will come back and not perform, then we won't be any better off.  I guess we shall have to wait and see.

I like the look of teh chec bloke up front tho

Do you?  I thought he looked abysmal against Barnsley.  I guess he must have been good at Rotherham as i didn't see that game.

It's all about Caton in League 2!

I don't think he was on long enough at the barnsley game to judge and to be fair to him by the time he came onto the pitch moral was low anyway which could only have made it harder.  I didn't see the Rotherham game either but hopefully he will get his chance to impress.

Its a shame about caton this season - he may well have been given opportunities under Iffy

Do you not think cureton is earning his place / proving his worth by scoring goals for colchester? Shows he can still do it at this level, just needs the right service.

If he does come back in january he should go straight into the team, up front with fallon (if he's still here). Its not worth bringing him back to sit on the bench or play as a lone striker. We may as well sell him now if thats gonna be the case.

It was just little things he didn't do - like get in where the angels fear to tread (i'm sure if he'd thrown himself at an opportunity like Parkin or the legend that is Andy Gray he could have bagged a debut goal).

Agree about Caton. He would have featured a few times if not injured.

sell him to colchester in january, anything upwards of £50k would be tidy.

doesn't seem as if he wants to come back anyway.

I rate caton too.

I didnt go to barnsley however the game at rotherham his touch looked superb.

How long did he play for against Rotherham?

Let him go in January to the highest bidder. Do the same with Thorpe. get another striker

This assumes Fallon isnt leaving.

Piemonte, have your eyes got used to my avatar yet?

Bring him back and play a 4-4-2 formation, he's said that Colchester play a 4-4-2 and get crosses into the box. Thats what we need to do.

As mentioned elsewhere our wingers are boadly shit (or are strikers pretending to be wingers) and cant actually put any decent crosses into the box. So i dont see the point.

and STFC Lady, sadly no. It still makes me drool like a retard

Don't forget Cureton was seriously strugling in the match fitness stakes early in the season.  Now with Colchester give him a fair go, he should be as fit as a fiddle.

You got some wierd frog fetish? :?

No, you are confusing that with my granny fetish.  :D

I find the frog hypnotic.  :shock:

Ah, that's why you like Birdy so much! :D

I'm so gonna get beats for that

about 30 mins I think

curo can play well. we saw bits of it i think but obviously that aint good enough.

give him another chance and we'll see!

the second option is the most sensible bet for all concerned.

You all know how I feel about him.  If he leaves I'll need a new fucking shirt.  I don't believe in building a system around one particular player though.

I think we should get him back. His confidence is bound to be sky high and we need to take advantage of that. Colchester have won something stupid like 8 on the bounce since he has signed I believe.

Well assuming that Fallon might be leaving, keep him work around his play and get the strike force of Thorpe and Cureton working.

He was out on loan to get some confidence. He's got that and goals, so bring him back and use him when needed.

Their can't be that much harm in giving him one more chance now he's scoring.

Can there?

Give him a chance to deliver here, if he is shit then flog him to ColU....

He will either score goals here, or be sold to ColU if he doesnt win/win in my opinion

We either cash in, or get goals

Need to get real i think. Colchester never pay for players and dont have the money. We would be lucky to get 20k for him, very lucky.

Rumours of an 80k bid on it's way.

I’m in two minds really.

There’s no point in taking him back if he’s not going to fit into the gaffers plans on the other hand can we really afford to let go a players that’s on form in front of goal and rely even more on loan players?  Not forgetting that Bouazza and the Czech bloke are only on short term deals there’s every chance that they will be recalled or their respective clubs won’t allow anything more than an extension.

I’m still mystified as to why him and Thorpe have been quite so abysmal.

don't look like he wants to come back!

Id only sell to buy Bouazza .. not to line the pockets of the debtors

but all our play sales go into the debtors pockets, hell we didnt see any of the Parkin money....let alone any Cureton money!!

Its not about the cash anyway, because we wont have any to spend every again ever, its abotu freeing up what Iexpect to be one of the bigger and undeserved wages at the moment

Keep him - there is no way we could afford to go out and buy another proven 20-goal-a-season striker. We'd be buggered if Rory decides to jump ship - and with our meagre resources you never can tell.

Would Bouazza want to come here?

How many goals has he scored for us?
How many chances has he actually made?
How many team chances has he wasted?

Would we really want Bouazza instead of a proven striker on form?

^ Totally agree with santini again. Bouazza has looked dangerous but sometimes he really needs to look at other options.

basically we need a goal scorer, because that last two games Fallon has been shit....he looks knackered and 5 yards of the pace and if he doesnt score then who does?

McDermott and O'Hanlon?  :mrgreen:

both came from set pieces effectivly, not open play
