    Sloppy ball from Reeves nearly caught us out.

    Not a fantastic half, but better than a lot of what we've seen recently.

    The assessor has to include that in his report? And not even a free kick either. Jeez what was the ref seeing?

    I thought BRE was on his heels and made it look much worse than it was.

    We have a shot at being third in the table tonight if we can nick this one. Devitt on in the second half to unlock their defence?

    Still can't believe WHU gave him a 5 year contract when he joined!

    Not played badly first half.
    If we come out fired up, Devitt Pritchard off the bench, should win.

    Mellor and Reeves need rockets to just go forward. Everytime they receive it they never even look forwards.


    Need to get Mcgee signed up. Great on the ball and very front footed.


    Mccartan not had a bad half contrary to the Radio Leeds comments. Dropped deep and tried to move the ball around.
    Taylor remains pointless.

    I was gonna summarise the first half but I'll allow the stats to speak volumes of the game so far..... IMG_20200121_203614.jpg

    Doyle isolated and coming deep too often.

    Game is there for the taking. Get Henley and Taylor off for Pritchard and Cooke and move Wood to LB.

    Connolly really has no end product does he?! Everytime he gets in a dangerous area I get no thought that something will come of it.

    Both CMs have been shite.

    50/50 game both teams look poor. They remind me of England in a low key friendly passing it side to side for the sake of it.

    End the game now and just give both teams a bloody point.

    Wouldnt say so.
    We've done most of our attacking out wide.

    It's been grim. Not quite as grim as the last few games. But still grim.

    We’ve been more positive, but at the same time more wasteful. If only Connelly could cross. Doyle trying his best to hold up, some nice flicks.
    Colchester look dangerous on the break. Especially with BRE having one of his games where he thinks he’s Bobby Moore.

    If it stays 0 - 0 I think he'll bring Devitt on for the last 20+ minutes.

    At least we look to have shape about us. A flat back four, a midfield with some balance, granted we haven't created anything but thats more down to Connolly having no end product. Shame as his pace has the full back all over. Could easily nick this.

    Not a bad game, we dont really look like scoring mind.

    Doyle is obviously isolated often getting nowhere near the ball which could easily look like not being interested to the often untrained eye.

    We need to try get more in the box, odd time we got behind there was no one in there plus the ball in/cross was awful

    Midfield tidy but slow, give a few too many fouls away for me.

    Think their lad can count himself a tad lucky to be still on the pitch following the tackle on wood


    Refreshing listening to the away commentary team for once, i do think they have given us a bit too much credit at times

    Still no goal for Doyle. Bowyer is an utter mug.
