    Not today, the old head did exactly what was expected of the guy, a free week now to get some players fit and a bit more confidence in the squad.

    His legs have gone. His performance today was all about intelligence and technique.

    I agree, one transfer window was never going to be enough to transform what was a truly beaten side by the time McCall was sacked.

    That's just the way he plays, he's very laid back.

    Sutton played a belter of a pass in the lead up to the winner, for me he has been a very good signing. Donaldson hasn’t been my favourite player but hats off to the guy today, he played really well, rarely gave the ball away and works better in a team where the pressure if off to score because you have others to score the goals (cook).

    I like Sutton. He's improved dramatically as the season has unfolded. I think Watt is a player with a lot of ability and could easily see him being comfortable in Lg 1. However, at Lg 2 level he gets bullied too easily.
    Playing Clayts as a No 10 made real use of his experience - his link up work was really good, two assists and some important contributions throughout. For me, I'd be happy to have there for FRG with Cook to start.

    Would love us to have a BIG April and get our mojo back to set up an unbelievable end to our season.

    Hope you\re wrong Bear. But yes, I share that same quivering worry about us at the moment. T&S have done a great job in many ways, but I sense that a lot of teams have 'found us out' and know how to play us now.

    Never understood the phrase 'nothing to lose'. Football is all about winning or at least drawing, not losing. So therefore there is a game of football to lose which nobody wants, ever.

    It means in our situation we currently find ourselves in a loss means little in the grand scheme of things. More now about the performance than the result, if we win today but play poorly its going to do nothing for us in the long term.

    Bang on @Idlebantam@Idlebantam
    A footballers mentality should always be to win if not then just award the game to your opponents and save everyone the bother. At this point in the season players should not only be playing for the pride of wearing the shirt but contracts/extensions are currently under review
    Ok in our position when we can neither go up nor down there isnt that much depending on the result new systems/ fringe players can be experimented with
    However a winning mentality is essential on the pitch losing can become a very bad habit and quickly spreads throughout the club a draw although it's a point gained is also 2 points lost

    Spot on and it's no shock to me since T & S were jumping up and down like idiots for a point against Bolton at home we haven't won a match.

    Drawing has to hurt. Winning is the only thing that should count.

    I have disliked Colchester for 60 years since they beat City 9-1.
    Away wins there are always sweeter, so hoping the shooting has improved on Tuesday's performance.
