Can't believe Charlie actually missed a chance
Both Charlie and Billy had an off-day today (not helped in Paynter's case by the fact that he was being manhandled by their centre half every time he went near the ball). Agree with JPM for MOTM |

Is the consensus that if we put in a similar performance in our next game, we'll get 3 points?

I think so yes. We played pretty well for the majority of the game today.

Definitely. Despite losing 3-0 to a shit team, I don't feel too pissed off.

That was Bristol Rovers part 2! Should have been out of sight in the 1st half, poor second half with not much idea of how to break them down. Ward had a good first half, Paynter was quiet and Austin missed a sitter. Thought Sheehan was very poor today.
Totally crap cheap as chips stadium in the middle of nowhere. I got lost trying to find the stadium and lost trying to find the car!!!

Just got back. Gob smacked and angry are my feelings. To call Colchester a football club is one hell of a stretch. They were physical, shit, loved the old hoofball and milked every last incident like a pantomime. The ref was fucking clueless and to say 3-0 flattered them is an understatement.
We battered them first half and should have been out of sight. Second half they got the rub of the green, had almost no creativity, but won a lot of second balls, and were aided by our chasing of the game. I think the ref can take alot of the plaudits for Colchester's win today.
I can't imagine ever playing like that and not winning, apart from when we joined them in the kicking-the-ball-as-far-as-you-can competition. Oh well, it's not about how you go down, it's about how you get up.

Completely unrelated, but Barry I've just seen the website in your signature and it's very funny.  |

Just got back. Colchester i thought were by far the worst footballing side that i have seen this season- home or away. They made no attempt to play football at all, spent much of the game conning the officials and timewasting.
Basically we were the better team, but lost today because we were bullied out of the game- the physical and direct approach we just could not cope with. We tried to copy it in the second half and failed miserably.
Their first goal was a blatant foul on Sheehan- up to then they looked very nervous and the goal was totally against the run of play. This changed the game as there was only one team in it beforehand.
Always thought that Boothroyd was a decent manager- until today that is.
Worrying that we still have not won a game when we have gone behind this season.

I think today is proof of that old saying. Three-nils come in threes or whatever it is.

Well it doesn't sound like we've 'bottled' our promotion hopes then. I'm quite looking forward to Monday now, might try and get down the pub a bit earlier as I have the day off.

I missed all the action today, even on the radio, due to deciding that I was well enough to work and that I needed the money.
To be honest I thought we'd scrap out a 1-0 win today before bottling it on telly Monday. Hopefully I'm wrong again on the last bit.
I've only read a few of the match reports that have been posted, but would it be fair to say on another day it would have been a scrapped out narrow win? I'm taking the moral victory on the prediction.

I think on another day it would've been 5-0. They looked very edgy for the first half, scared to close us down and scared to go forward, if we'd scored first they would have collapsed, i have no doubt about that.

It's weird really. When we score first we don't look back. If we don't then it's a different story. I'd like to see our stats for all the games we haven't scored first in. |
