Colchester Utd v Swindon Town matchday thread

[Hyabb17]

Flynn:
- Great performance
- Didn't get rub of the green
- Pleased with the players
- Lots of creativity
- Didn't deserve to lose
- Genesini isn't fit enough to wear the shit
- Was thinking of playing Ward tonight to send a message
- Young is increasing his value for Bradford. Hopefully they will send us more players
- Looking forward to the weekend.
- Think we will definitely be back to winning ways
- Eyeing up 3 signings next week.

Hi clem, how are you doing hahaha

Can't remember the players downing tools like this since Hart.

Which is interesting since the first half wasn't bad at all.

Maybe the perception is they're downing tools when actually they're already knackered as we have zero scope to change the side round unless we're throwing kids into the mix. In an era when you can make 5 subs instead of 3 strength of squad can win you a game more than ever before. And ours is piss weak.

Our midfield tonight was reminiscent of playing Fifa against the AI on amateur mode when you just hold sprint and we had zero option to change it.

Imagine this team without Young and Kemp, Hutton sold, Charlie Austin on the Antiques Roadshow.

Replaced by the chief barrel-scraper

Has Flynn resigned? Taking his time.

No EFL team is 0-7 at home to a non league side after 60 mins unless they've downed tools, 'fatigue' or not. They hadn't played in a week.

Murphy,twice, just shoot mate. Brewitt our best defender again,though not saying much, apart from the assist FBT one of his worst ever. UGM not bad in midfield rubbish at the back today. Young good first half,anonymous second. Kemp,McEachran and Kinsella (see Young).Hutton put in several decent crosses as usual. Trying to find plusses is like the haystack needle

This has absolutely done me

Why would the manager sign a new deal if the players have given up essentially making him look terrible in the process?

[Audrey]

Yet, next game, Flynn will send them out with ‘Same again, lads’ ringing their ears.

Same cock ups, same defensive naivety, same powder puff midfield.

13 goals in 3 games and it’ll be more of the same.

Absolute gash and they were no better.

Flynn left woefully short. Surprised he signed a new deal.

Probably couldn’t believe his luck, a normal club would be looking to sack him. We’ve lost to 3 teams in the last month who have all sacked managers. For all the mitigating circumstances Flynn is exactly what Walsall fans warned us about and isn’t immune from the blame. We are now in a battle for football league survival, we need to face that reality.

I don't know but perhaps he was offered a chance to secure his financial future in the short term and prioritised that.

Clayton out for 6-8 weeks??? This is fucking unbelievable

He's made of Wotsits. No use sadly.

Him and Cain. Soft scouse.

Looked in control early on. Much better than Aldershot at home. Bit of a capitulation in the second half. Probably missed Khan. We missed a few chances, RHM chance our end seemed like the biggest from my perspective. Difficult to see a league win in the next couple. Fingers crossed it’s not a total free fall.
