Colchester are going down arent they. Based on their last few years, the fans seem devoid of hope and interest, purely down to the barebones of the fanbase, one fan abusing hurst all game for whatever reason. Quite a few recognisable football league names in their team but clearly all finished names. I dont think theyll find that lift when they need it this time round. Never wish it on any club apart from scunny, just always seems to be the same story for the clubs that go down
That explains why he was putting his finger to his lips to "shush" someone sat behind the dugouts. I wondered why at the time. |

We were very average today, but thats all we needed to get the win in the end. Isn't the saying something like a good teams win even when they don't play well.
First half it seemed we were too deep defensively and too narrow and let them cross the ball for fun and up top we were wasteful with our passes, made poor decisions and our movement was static and made Colchester look alot better then they were.
Second half was much improved, we seemed to press a little higher, catching Colchesters strikers a number of times with an intentional offside trap and while our passing didn't greatly improve up top our decision making and movement certainly did. A great goal from Clifton to add a cherry on top, Smith was magnificent (we need to stop allowing Hull to come and watch him somehow), I also thought Holohan had his best game of ther season today.
Yep! Though we've only played well in possibly 2 games so far IMHO. Northampton and Newport. Leyton Orient was a bit of an anomily as we were nowhere near ready fitness wise at that point, although they are a good side, as has been proven by their results since. |

On the plus side we are winning (not losing) without being at our most fluent best
Good sign
And the team/squad needs more time to gel - so in theory we should only get better
On down side with only 8 goals scored we still know where the main issue lies and I feel we will need 2/3 goals to win a lot of games against better opposition.
Only 5 conceded is very impressive
But we do turn over possession a lot and I think better teams will punish us
Hunt will help with this as he's such a tidy footballer at this level
We look very strong, fit and athletic with a very strong bench - just need to improve % of better final balls, crosses etc
Then I can see us being serious play off contenders

In our 8 league games this season only Leyton Orient, who have been comfortably the division’s best side so far this season, have scored two goals against us - a dodgy pen and a once in a career wonderstrike. I’m pretty confident that we’ll take something from most games we score a goal in this season. Scintillating going forward we may not be, but we are incredibly dogged and solid at the back. Few teams will want to see us high up their fixture list right now, I suspect. |

Whenever I’ve seen us we’ve actually been very clinical with our chances, I’m not sure if that’s something to be concerned with or not! Walsall, Newport, Gillingham and Colchester we’ve put away pretty much the only clear cut chances we had. |

Anyone know why hursty gave the old finger to the lip to fans behind the dug out? Assume someone was just giving him excrement throughout the game.
Could've been with PH being ex Ipswich Manager - geographically local rivals... |

Quoted from 140381
The Bradford game should be a measure of where we are. If we can keep Andy Cook quiet (literally and metaphorically) then we’ll be doing well. Loki g forward to seeing Waterfall up against him.
Who wouldn’t have taken this 18 months ago though? It’s crackers. I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
I seem to recall that a few on here said that of the Newport, if only we could keep Bogle quiet. We did and we won and will do against Bradford. |
