    Reeves was terrible, AGAIN. Constantly passing backwards. BRE made more attempts at getting the ball forwards than him. Reeves can't even TACKLE anyone. What's the point in playing him? He's a human turnstile for them and nothing more for us.

    A moment at the end. Reeves just has to TAP the ball first time and Doyle is through. What does he do? He takes 3 touches and is dispossessed. He was a 12th man for them all game and gave the ball away countless times. Just terrible performance.

    not enough quality in the final ball and didn't look after the ball well enough. too many take too many touches - BRE and kelvin mellor have the poorest technique when striking a ball I've seen in a long time.

    We are unlikely to get automatic promotion on current form, but conversely I think we are 75% likely to make the playoffs based on us just grinding out results.

    Great memory. Of course those who now want Bowyer out after one defeat in eleven, are probably the same as those that wanted Parky out at this time

    And January 2012
    And January/February/March 2014
    And October 2014

    Didn't think that was too bad compared with recent performances. Defended well and had a good spell in the second half. Apart from Taylor's shot never looked like scoring though.

    This is why we could be in this division for a long time again, 0-0 is not and never will be a good result.

    I don't think Reeves is a terrible player although I give that impression, I just think he's playing football that drives us back 30 yards everytime he touches the ball. Replace him with Cook and we could've easily won that game.

    I reckon he gets told but is that clueless he doesn’t know any better.

    It may be but when we've been getting next to no points in the last few games we needed more.

    If we'd won at Crawley for example then a point at Colchester would have been good.

    You're in luck this season then, because Captain Safety has managed 7 away draws.

    The consequence is that we've the 14th best away form in the league!

    CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

    On the negative side has anyone commented on the fact that we changed all of our midfield three from Saturday. Hardly a mark of a manager who knows his best team.

    One shot on target in an hour and a half of football is not because Reeves played over Cooke

    I’m actually worried we’re all pinning our hopes on Donaldson getting back.
