Match Thread Home V Mansfield Tue 2nd March. 7pm kick off.

To answer your question absolutely nobody. Another question is will we win if we don’t improve second half? @Botswana Bantam makes a good point though, hopefully they will tire due to their press.

 

Not bothered as long as we take 3 points off them on Saturday.

 

With us and Tranmere also in the automatic place

 

Good call Clarke for Crankshaw.

 

Rowe needs Novak alongside him to challenge for these high balls

 

Hopefully, but cannot see us getting into top 3, there is no way we will catch Cheltenham and Cambridge, 7th would do me, and that would be a brilliant achievement for Trueman & Sellars.

 

Hopefully win tonight and the next 3 games are six pointer's against clubs above us.
Dont discount anything yet

 

as it sits we are 8 back.....just too many sides between us though even if 1 or both slip up on the run in

 

colchester level......forest green down 3-0 as well

 

The game has calmed down which is good for us imo.

 

Need to bring the Don on in place of Vernam to try hold it up front

 

We got given the ball and Rowe retreated 10 yards into our own half and passed it out for a goal kick

 

colchester 2 carlisle 1

 

Vernam and Rowe both need reminding of the job they need to do. Both really over complicate things when we just need to keep it.

I see far too many moments of Rowe looking like he really doesnt care. Plays some really lazy really stupid passes too often.

 

Mansfield have done well tbh.

Them and Exeter are the better teams we've played since T&S took over.

 

I’m still not convinced about Rowe. This annoying habit he has of trying to hit every ball with a first time flick on, gifts them possession nine times out of ten. Lazy looking player, who fortunately seems to be in the right place, and enjoys a shot. Looking forward to seeing him with a target man alongside.

 

cambridge 0......scunthrorpe 1

 

Paudie man of the match

 

It’s a good job the stadium is empty. If spectators were in I think they would be getting on the players backs

 

Nice move then. Shame about the cross.
