McGeough on for Thomas.

Colchester break 3 on 1 but Fleck makes a good challenge

The crap thing is, as much as everyone slates our squad virtually every player in our squad today would easily be a starter for Colchester.

I hope Pressley does the right thing and leaves Thomas out for a bit, he's been dreadful for weeks and looks bereft of confidence.

One chance we had in the 5 added on , Callum gets free but wide if goal, has 3 up with him, but chooses to shoot and shoots wide

Grow up

We're a league one team who posted a £7m loss last year, we don't deserve to be doing any better. It's a bad defeat, we've had fucking hundreds of them over the years.

I'm sure one if the three would have made contact with it had he crossed it. Could never guarantee any attempt at goal being a certain goal

Okay summary, Webster and Seaborne were piss poor, we played the ball long constantly and we rarely won a ball in the air, Blair Adams should never play at Left Midfield again and the MOM was without a doubt Jordan Clarke

I'm not sure what Pressley was thinking today with Clarke LB and Adams LM. Get Adams back in LB and drop Webster then shift Willis and Clarke into CB an RB

Callum could have grabbed a point

Take away opening 20 min and we done an awful lot of good things

Needed to do 'bread and butter' of football

Pushed at wrong times

**Radio cut out**

Got caught at top for second goal

Came up and allowed ball to go beyond and they took advantage

Done a lot of work on combination play (presume that is about strikers)

Some good opportunities created

When we come to these places we have to get a result but didn't

No injury concern over Webster sub, more tactical

didn't shift as a back four

Work on this all the time. Concentration is key and as a group we have to do better

Felt should have got something more from the game

Need to be more aggressive

Calllum likely to be disappointed

Evident how much we've missed him

Pitch standard very poor

Opening 20 cannot accept

Brilliant goal at a brilliant time from Callum

Not agreesive enough

Asked Blair to offer more aggression on LM

What I can't understand is we have McGeouch and Marshall on the bench and Blair Adams at left midfield in a position he's not accustomed to, why?

No idea, at the start of the season when we were playing well he was doing really well also. Why have somebody out of position there and bring our first choice LB off?

It makes no sense it's not a pop at anyone but Marshall has looked good in the games he featured, McGeouch is tipped to be a really good player, so it makes no sense why you play a left back instead of those two in there accustomed position.

All we did today annoyingly was pumped the ball long at every chance, where is the patience and passing that we saw at the beginning of the season, I kept thinking through out that game "Why are we resorting to this?" Akpom and Wilson weren't winning the battles in the air.

We played hoofball against Shrewsbury too, after the first 5 when they came straight back at us it was obvious it wouldn't work.

Pretty much spot on. Jordan Clarke was excellent. We played much better second half, should have won it

Left midfield is definitely not his position. He was a passenger. We looked a million times better when moussa came on, shame he didn't start.

Has Adams been injured?

Thought fleck had a decent game too, it's vital we keep hold of him
