the one after the header that hit the bar he should have buried.

Yeah, but that Peacock was it not?

[sonic youth]

meh.

first half was one of the worst performances i've seen from a town side in a while. utter shambles. fair play to malpas for making decisive changes, we looked much better in the second half - their goal came against the run of play and after we'd had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

colchester were very one dimensional, long ball over the top to platt or vernon - nothing else. we should be able to defend against that with ease but made hard work of it at times.

smith's mistake was unfortunate, as was ifil's - neither had a bad game imo. marshall looks good, a little over eager to impress at times and somewhat raw but i'd have him in the side over the useless cunt JP.

the back four and brezovan concern me - brez looks awful and i wasn't impressed with kanyuka at all. aljofree did very little and offered macnamee no support whatsoever. smith recovered well from his mistake and ifil was his usual self.

i had the misfortune to sit near two racist cunts in the town end in the second half - back row, seat 100ish. pricks.

errr. i tend not to be too good at remembering things like that.

[Bogus Dave]

cox had the chance that should have scored but keeper tipped round the post. He missed another first half too i think. Its a shame because his all round game other than that was pretty good

[Batch]

Yeah, but that Peacock was it not?

It was Peacock running in, but it came back over him . He had no way of knowing it was going to hit the bar or where it would land.

[sonic youth]

i forgot peacock came on.

we're fucked if paynter or cox get injured.

[DV]

woooo its another lets all blame JPM thread....

First goal was school boy stuff. Midfielder arriving in the box, no one tracking him and he scores from left edge of our box. JPMs fault.

Second goal was a huge mistake by Jack Smith he didnt get his body in front of the ball and let it run to their striker, who obvioulsy scored. JPMs fault.

A couple of times Paynter and Cox and got in behind the defenders out wide and had no one in the box to aim for. JPMs fault.

Paytner rises above the keeper in the first half and heads it towards goal, ok it didnt go in but if the ref hadnt of blow his whistle im sure Paynter would have got their first to tap it in. Didnt see too much wrong with it myself. JPMs fault.

Colchester Goal Keeper and defender bump into each other and some how the keeper gets a free kick for fuck that JPM is a useless fucking cunt isnt he. His fault.

Kanyuka and Brez both fucked up royally for the last goal. I swear Brez came out and completely missed it. Why he went in with his foot rather than his hands and body I dont know. JPMs fault.

We got out battled again in central midfield. Timlin and Nalis dont offer us enough bite in there. We miss a battler. JPMs fault. Easton looked a bit sluggish when he came on and looks like he'll need a game or two to get back to his standard JPMs fault. I thought Peacock won more in midfield when he came on than Nails or Timlin did all game. JPMs fault.

In conclusions, its all JPMs fault.

[sonic youth]

who blamed JP for anything?

i only said he was useless. which he was, along with the other ten players

[STFC Village]

Just awful first half, managed to win 4 corners in the first 4 minutes, but stunk after that. 2-0 half time was the least they deserved, they knocked it around well, although we gave them plenty of opportunity.

Much better second half, the two substitutes were very lively and we started showing the urgency and passion we needed from kick-off! Could have been oh so different had the ref not inexplicably ruled out the rebounded clearance. Having said that, i'm not sure our penalty should have been given, and i'm pretty sure Jerel handled in the area later on.......

[janaage]

I honestly don't think the ref would have given us that penalty had he not disallowed a perfectly good goal.  He seemed to take an eternity to give it.

Lets just forget the first half, complete non-event for town, superb decision by MM and DB to make a double substitution at the break.  Nearly turned it around and I would be very surprised to see Brez start the next match, personally I'm not sure if he should or not, but he really bottled it for there third goal, looked like he didn't want to get stuck in.

Suddenly the next three games look tough.

[michael]

Well I thought that JP did alright first half!

Some lovely distribution.

He should have given both.

Both were clear as day. Cosidering the Colchesters players arm was above his head and stopped Kanyukas header actually going in the top corner I think he should have been sent off as well.

[janaage]

He should also have given them a penalty for Jerel's handball.

[DV]

the one where he slid in at the end?

Going for a tackle and having the ball brush your arm as you follow through is a bit different to having your arm in the air and blocking a goal bound header.

Unless I've missed a handball earlier?!
