    They certainly are. Expect Accrington Mark II if we end up in the playoffs. Best hope for us there I think is the away leg first and a good result there. I would be deeply concerned if we were at home first leg. Massive crowd once again, massive expectation, leading to inevitable failure. I...

    Nope. He said the intention was promotion and we were 3rd favourites for promotion with the bookies. Below 7th is a failure. I guess there is a gray area of being pipped at the post on goal difference etc., but clearly outside the playoffs is undoubtedly a failure We have the best defence in...

    You would never believe we are 16 points clear at the top from your post. ;)

    Yeah, any hug should have been elongated.

    End of racism in this country, hoorah!!

    I'm not clever enough to make that deduction unfortunately.

    What needs to be done for Colchester?

    From watching the game yesterday, I would say all of them.

    Meltdown

    And this is what worries me about making the playoffs and not the automatic places. Bound sure to play on the players' minds for that home leg and the fans will be dead nervous too, having seen it all before. Can't see that we would go into the home leg with any degree of confidence. It would...

    Yeah, but I did also notice that their subs didn't come out at all at half time. Manager probably said not to bother as it was all too piss easy.

    We created one I believe. The one where the ball came over from the left in the second half and Vincenti volleyed it over from about 10 yards out.

    He does have point though. When Stokes was lining up that shot in the first half the guy behind me was rustling some sweet wrappers.

    15 games to save his job.

    You can't expect any player to score from zero chances to score.

    2 nil defeat, unless Robins mixes it up a bit. May change my thoughts when I see Tuesday's lineup.

    Meltdown

    But then 5 wins out of 15 is not good enough if you have aspirations of a top 3 place and Robins has said promotion is the aim.

    Harsh, but true.

    What needs to be done for Colchester?

    We did pretty much only start hoofing it long from the keeper yesterday after half time. It did at least push the Stanley defence back, but it didn't really work at all did it. Biamou and McNulty play too far apart for McNulty to benefit from any knock downs.

    Is it worth me opening the link for 3 and half seconds of action?

    WE are gradually getting worse

    I think that boat has sailed. When asked on CWR, Baker said it could be a month, could be a year, he had no idea. Even if it is month he's not going to be match fit for probably another month after that, so you are looking at April. Bit pointless really.

    Meltdown

    If you look back recently too, against Swindon Biamou hit a worldly. Probably wouldn't do that again if he had another 30 attempts. There was not any creativity involved. Long punt from the keeper, ball fell to him and he blasted it. Against both Cambridge and Swindon McNulty hit two great...

    Meltdown

    I am a very optimistic person on the whole, but what concerns me as much as anything is that all our creativity is pretty much coming through Bayliss of late and earlier in the season it was pretty much all coming through Jodi Jones. Add to that we have lost both Grimmer and Davies for several...
