I am giving him 10 games- first 3 must do better
I'd think MM would be hard pressed to survive another 4 defeats in a row, and looking at the fixtures and having seen us play all matches it's a distinct possibility.... Who do you fancy as replacement Bart? |

Right a few things after reading this. Aljofree surprised me and i thought he was OK at left back. He wasn't great but at least he was solid enough. Granted he's not a LB and he lacks pace and offers little going forward. But what do you go for? That or the opposite of that in Casal?
Jack Smith i thought was poor. He is so poor in defence it's unreal. Going forward he's OK but he needs to learn to stick to his man and actually stay tight at the back and not make pathetic school boy mistakes like the second goal.
Overall we were OK. I only say that because we were good in the second half. Shit ref (and he was) or not you cannot expect to play for 45 minutes and win a game. Thought Nalis and Timlin offered us nothing. In fact, funnily enough, i thought we looked much better with Peacock and Easton in the cente just like the Sturrock days. Marshall looked good when he came on and Macca played well as did the front 2. Where we really fell short was the CM pairing and the back 4 (or 5 if you include Brez). So we need to show more urgency and get the defence organised because Colchester were not great today but they had something we didn't. A solid defence. With MK and Hereford coming up on the road i'm less than confident. I won't be getting on MM's back though. Wasn't his fault today. At least he and Byrne gave them a good shouting at half time.

Does no-one else think we looked better second half may be down to the fact colchester tried to shut up shop?
First half was woeful, I enjoyed the second half, on another day could easily have won a point. Nounce of a third goal for CU, upset but still see many good points from this game. |

First day was very good. Second half today was good as well. Chin up. FFS it's 3 games in anyway. |

Maybe you're right mate. But don't panic yet. If we get to November then panic. After all what's the worst that can happen? League Two on tour again whooooo hoooo. |

Its all well and good trying to be a footballing side in this division but you need work rate, commitment and effort.
The current team is a much better passing side than last season but I do think we lack that Sturrock steel if you will, that battling quality Sturrock built his teams around
