Colchester Utd v Swindon Town matchday thread

[Mooneyraker]

He's like a freestyle footballer. Looks good against a ragged backline on the ropes when he can pop up in gaping holes but he has the tactical discipline, application and footballing brain of a  4 year old kicking a beach ball around in a hurricane.

Would shade get in the Aldershot team😁

[Pericardinho]

Would anybody except Kemp get in the Aldershot team should be your actual question.

On a good day, yes. On Saturday’s showing, no. Going to this tomorrow and bringing the other half along too. Probably wouldn’t have bothered if I hadn’t bought tickets before Aldershot. Oh well, will probably have a shandy or two and am thinking about lobbying to go for a pre match curry.

Copy and paste for RHM, as well.

What's Flynns issue with playing FBT at left wing back? He's not the best crosser, but would make us more solid than any other option.

Can only assume Flynn doesn't think much of Clayton either.

[No Longer Posh Red]

Shade is a classic example of a player who has got through the academy system on pace and power, with the hope always being he will develop a football brain along the way.

He looks ok when he doesn’t think about what he’s doing.

FBT showed me why he just wouldn’t work as a wingback.
On Sat, he constantly checked back and looked lost.
He needs the space in front of him, being in the back 3 let’s him see more of the pitch and push through into more forward positions.

It's just me that would be focused on his defensive skills for his position first is it?  If he can add something to the attack, great.  We already have one good attacking wing back who cannot defend, a LWB who can defend a bit and isn't a complete tool going forward would be a good prospect for a club shipping about 3 goals a game on average.  FBT is also not very good a playing centre back, based on the evidence he has provided over two seasons.

[Tamworth Red Army]

Got to give Genesis another go at LWB as we beat FGR last time he played

[Audrey]

There’s something in the air tonight

[Batch]

Phil Collins  isn't going to buy us Aud.

[Tamworth Red Army]

No but hopefully Mike and the mechanics put a decent bid in 

[DV]

Be an upgrade on Power and the Plumber.

Every football fan
blames the owners before
when all of their defeats
come beating on the door

I know that I’m a supporter
Of my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his seasons hopes & fears
I just wished I could have told him in the living years

Oh crumpled dirty programmes
Filled with ads and stats
Lay scattered on the terraces
That’s we’ve sadly got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense that 442’s the way forward
With this present squad
We all talk of different tactics
When we can’t defend

Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (say it clear)
You can defend as well as attack
It’s to late (it’s to late) when we lose (when we lose)
To admit we should have subbed way before

I got tired decided I need to sleep, my head is spinning after day one of induction.

Top effort that!
