It amazes me that some fans seem to think we have a divine right to be successful.
How long did it take arguably bigger clubs than us to get out of this league? Bristol City spent a small fortune, as did Swansea, both spent more than a couple of seasons here.
We lose a couple of games and people start wanting a change of manager........

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

We are only 3 players short of a squad capable of doing well in this league-trouble is they're all defenders.The only criticism I have of Malpas is he chose the wrong left back to augment our squad

What I have seen so far, the likes of Colchester & Tranmere, I would say we have a better players than both. What I heard about Cheltenham the same comment there. We probably do need one or two more, but we have a squad here at the moment who are good enough to be on the fringes of the play-offs. A bit of luck going our way, like the disallowed goal against Colchester in our favour and belief from us fans and the players and we could be back on track in no time. |

I'm not sure many think we have a divine right to success....OK, AF stated the aim was CCC in 3 years, so I think people expect to see a bit of progress, for which to be fair, there has been some evidence. This is what makes it all the more frustrating then when we slip back into the kind of basic incompetence that we've had to watch all too often in recent years. Fans aren't fools, progress can indeed be slow, but we'll need to see something in the next 4 or 5 games that shows it's happening or the management team should go. |

Maybe, but he has my full support whilst he is in charge. Us supporters have a major role to play ... we didn't do it in the first half on Saturday, when we did in the second we watched a different team. |

the 2nd half was down to the fact that Colchester sat back with their 2 goal lead, i cant see we wouls have played like that at 0-0

I thought it had a lot to do with the changes the manager made at half time and the referee making so many bad decisions it actually gave us momentum. |

I think Marshall would have done a good job of upping the tempo anyway. I'm yuet to be sold on his skill but for pace and enthusiasm you can't fault him.

TBF this fans have a major role to play thing is a bit of cliched old bollocks, our players couldn't have asked for better support at Cheltnumb....about a third of the crowd was STFC .....16 corners many in front of our end and the keeper not tested once. Same sort of thing on Sat 4 or 5 corners early on, keeper not tested once. Wasn't until Marshall put one on Kanyuka head that we created anything....how long before the basic competence he got at part time Eastleigh disappears? An ex STFC player long of my acquaintance always told me, he had little idea of a crowd being at a game, such was the focus needed on the job in hand on the pitch. |

colchesters game plan didn't change from the first half.ours did.malpas saw a peoblem and tried to put it right.colchesters original game plan had worked for them and it remained the same second half. |
