My view is that Angol is a very good lower league striker .. but shouldn't have his contract renewed. He has had a poor track record over the recent past because of his injuries. He has only played 100 league games over the past 5 seasons and has spent more time in the sick room than on the pitch. As much as I like him, he'd be too much of a risk for me.

Reality is we’ve had poor recruitment for a long while. Ryan Sparks has overseen 4 managers, turnover of c40 players coming and going in past 18 months and more sound bites than home wins this season.
We have the one of the worst squad of players (barring Scunthorpe) in this League.
when you look at the accounts of Sutton, Forest Green, Newport and Northampton - their budgets are much lower than ours and in Sutton’s case significantly lower. All are outperforming us on the pitch.
Until we have good leadership and a culture that supports a winning mentality, we’ll continue as is. I hope the update coming summer provides time for proper thought, reflecting and player planning. Some of the players we’ve signed in past 6 months (Robinson, Delfonso, Elliott etc) we should be no where near yet they are in our squad.Ponty City, bantamdave41, JonButterfield and 9 others like this. -
But blow me, we bloody repeat the scenario at the end of the winter window with Delfouneso!

Who cares what the side is? Result means absolutely nothing, better for Hughes to experiment so he can decide who to keep next season.

Also congrats to Evans, whether he is coming to the end of his time at City or not 600 professional appearances is a great effort

My thoughts on the game
Certain players tend to shine when they have good players around em
And certain players tend to play worse when surrounded by shit
Paudie is a good example of the former an Walker is a good example for the latter
No one stood out today, But a few observations suggest that Lavery, When actually fit, has half a football brain in him an is actually quiet decent on the ball. And on crosses, go figure!
Hendrie may not be the best but my god is Threlkeld awful. He’s the worst player to put on the Claret an Amber in the better part of a Decade an its not even close
Football is all about triangles. Give an go, give an go. Unfortunately for our players, It appears The “Go” part of the equation is silent. Lets just pass the ball an stand around with our cocks in our hands an wait for Houdini to somehow help us create a chance
There is a concept taught to football at grass routes level. When you receive the ball, You open your body up so you have more options available to you. You don’t receive the ball an just face the player who gave the ball to you, cus the ball will just end up where it started
Songo may not be a ball carrier so to speak. Hes more of a destroyer type midfielder. Even he should have the basic ability to carry the ball forward somewhat. Whats with all these square passes to Paudie within our own penalty box when the colchester players are standing 20 yards off him? Like surely he’s not that inept at using his feet
Evans has the turning circle of the titanic. Ironic really considering he has the agility of an iceberg
Sutton doesn’t look interested, Looks like negotiations haven’t gone well
Gillead doing his best impression of the wandering Jew again. Great work lad, only thing he’s been consistent at this season
on a side note. Never has a player played this many games over a course of a season an not one person has established what his best position is. Not a striker. Definitely not a winger. Was useless as a no.8. We need to find a position which involves a lot of running but is no where near the ball. Maybe a cheerleading spot might open up in the summer
Someone needs to remind Cook this isn’t sunday league. You actually have to stay in good shape to be good at the job at hand. No surprise his form has dropped off a cliff
Cooke treated Colchester’s pitch like a bouncy castle. He was all over the place an the ball bounced up every time it got to him
Il leave things on a somewhat good note. Its a shame Angol is always injured because he actually looks like a decent footballer in this league
I realise now that its not much of a good note, But yeah….
