They haven't got the bottle so early on, I always thought it was one or the other.

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

We are standing off Stevenson so far...

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 13, 2018

I won't be surprised if McNulty doesn't play much more than half a game - can't believe he's recovered that quickly

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Vincenti looks to be playing very central, not sure if that's meant though or he is drifting.

oucho · Feb 13, 2018

Sounds like we've had a couple of positive moments already, that bodes well!

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Bayliss is well off it again.

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 13, 2018

Vincenti/Shipley barely mentioned?

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

They are passing round us like a training game, we are going to be knackered.

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Just had a perfect example of how to unlock a defence, quick ball to their midfielder who then puts their striker clean through.

Thankfully he was offside though.

What do we do? Take the goal kick and give it them straight back.

sw88 · Feb 13, 2018

Everything is going down their left side

Can only guess that they may have prepared for DKE to be playing?

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 13, 2018

McNulty limping - please GET HIM OFF !

And again, defence splitting pass to put their striker through but fortunately took a random bounce.

We get it out to McNulty who has 4 of their players on him, who wins a throw in..

We then try to work the line and give the ball away.

HOW FUCKING OBVIOUS?

oucho · Feb 13, 2018

I still wake up in cold sweats, screaming in the night, remembering various Willis performances at RB. But he may be the lesser of two evils compared with DKE.

I wonder if Hyam might be RB material, he could swap with Willis. Anyone?

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Long Free kick from Shipley, headed clear and they get the second ball. Kelly aimlessly passes it forward to them. He gets it back then aimlessly hammers it forward again

Whats the fucking point, Biamou is up there and McNulty has 3 on him.

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Throw in, Stokes has it. Gives it away to them.

Has nothing been learnt from the weekend? Not even the basics?

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 13, 2018

Anybody already getting more and more concerned about how this is looking?

sw88 · Feb 13, 2018

Tame shot for Colchester deflected wide

Burge went down to claim but ended up with a panicked look on his face as it crept past the post for a corner

Exactly as predicted so far, they are passing it round and we are chasing shadows.

Schoolboy stuff. Only Robins doesn't seem to see it.

(does best Blackadder impression)...So it's going well then

coop · Feb 13, 2018

We sound shit and fucking obvious.

They are passing it around like Barca, all we can do is hammer it up field and hope like we did on Saturday.

Just need a moment of magic to win it.

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

Shipley is playing central pretty much as well leaving 2 of theirs out wide.

SlowerThanPlatt · Feb 13, 2018

This has been dreadful so far.

Colchester keep the ball for 30 seconds create an opportunity, we get the ball and punt it forward to McNulty or Biamou they lose it in the air and then they attack again

sw88 · Feb 13, 2018

Burge doing his old trick of appearing to handle outside the area before releasing his kick

Fortunately Lino doesn’t spot it

Ball is then kicked straight out for a throw

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

They hit a long ball forward, low and behold they have somebody on the overlap to get the flick on. Simple stuff.

Burge kicks it out of play.

It's like being at school and every time you go your usual way to school the school bully stops you and steals your dinner money.

There are a few different routes you can take to go to school in order to avoid him, but you decide to keep going the same way and hope the bully just gives in at some point and leaves you alone.

Bristol sky blue · Feb 13, 2018

Is it just me or does Clive Eakin mistakenly say we're playing Chesterfield pretty much every game?!

SkyBlueSoul · Feb 13, 2018

"Colchester probably enjoying the lion's share of possession here"

That's a fucking understatement Clive!

Yep, they are being patient and trying to unlock the defence. We are hoping for a defender to miss it for McNulty to go through. Even if Biamou wins the header there are enough Colchester players to sweep it up time and time again.

They wont win misplaced passes though We must be at 90 - 95%.

sw88 · Feb 13, 2018

Good passing move by Colchester splits our defence. Luckily their strikers touch was a poor one and he loses the ball just as he gets to the box

Nick · Feb 13, 2018

They unlock our defence again and put striker through, but luckily a heavy first touch.

We are getting a lesson again so far in the basics. We keep just hammering the ball back to them like it's an attacking drill for them in training.

They look much more composed on the ball and considered in their passing, We really look rag-bag.
