Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Away v Colchester Utd Easter Monday April 18 @3.00pm

I’ve been saying it for weeks , he wins headers yes, that his job , yet some say we should be grateful. ? Oh but “Sheffield Wed are watching him” I’ll drive him if they are daft enough! Yet it’s a given right for him to be in the 11 even though he struggles to pass the ball straight and a proven poor temperament . Today just about sums him up. I just hope Wednesday got stuck in traffic!

 

I’m sure Interested Bystander will let us be aware that they have paid him silly money for a good few years now.

 

Phone calls to both of their agents - neither Oscar or Fiacre will figure in any of my plans next season. Either they stay here on their contracts, train with the kids and cheat their wage. Or they both try to resurrect their careers and make something of their footballing futures by taking on new challenges and ambitions elsewhere.

 

I honestly believe if players and their agents don't know the inevitable outcome they are thicker than pig shit based on media conjecture alone most are well and truly gone.
Hallelujah.

 

Sorry Idle, forgot he was out of contract too. Sure he can still do a job somewhere, but please, not here.

Again, it's the problem of all average League 2 players - total inconsistency. Flatters to deceive one week, is bloody awful or lacking in decision making or drive in the next. It's so bloody frustrating to watch with Sutton - when he's good he's good. When he's bad, he seems to have no footballing brain whatsoever. Gotta go.

 

Too damned right. A shrug of the shoulders, poor body language, no-one on the pitch trying to be a leader and driving the other players on. Again, too few wishing to take any responsibility beyond their own performance.

 

Its been a while since I've seen such a "I couldn't care less performance" from a City player, sometimes players get taken to the cleaners by the player they are marking it's football it happens, but today Threlkeld didn't look interested the first two goals coming from his area of the pitch where he was nowhere to be seen.
IMO he was without doubt the worst player in our side closely followed by 4/5 others unfortunately they were the ones Sparkie gave a chance to in place of the lads who had run themselves into the ground trying to hang on to 3 points even though they'd gone down to 10 men on Friday, those two performances were chalk and cheese and must have told Sparkie everything he needs to know about some of our players.

 

Delfouneso will be a quiz question for sure.

Even now I'm forgetting we've signed him, and it's still the same season.

 

Sutton runs around a lot an has odd flashes of brilliance but there are times when he reminds me of Gillead i.e. running around aimlessly an chasing shadows

 

Carry on playing like yesterday and there’s no reason why we can’t win all remaining 4 games

 

We won't because we can't finish. A huge issue that needs addressing.

Elliott, Robinson, Angol, Lavery and Cook is all about quantity than quality

 

Yeah, I agree with you.

I'm more thinking about next season and how people are in prime position to get carried away with their predictions.

I still remember when we had Donaldson and Vaughan and there were legit people expecting them to score 40-50 between them because they were far too good for the division.

In the end they scored 15 between them.

 

It won’t . It wasn’t a straight red.

 

Nobody bothered to mark Hendrie for the entire first half, he had all the space in the world on the right. Picked out Clarke far too many times, but his crossing isn't all bad, he's put some decent balls in in recent games, just not at a high enough percentage.

Hughes said similar after the game, something to work on.

 

Yes at the 19th attempt

 

Colchester's caretaker manager Wayne Brown is also the manager of non league Maldon. No idea how he manages to be in charge of two clubs at the same time. Very strange

 

Must be fairly unique! Never heard of that before!!

 

Agree , but I’ve been to Maldon dozens of times as we were only 35 mins away for years. It’s a little, but nice place, about the size of Shipley at a guess. He could manage it two half days a week?

 

He did say in his latest interview he would bring players in to freshen them up, I'd say that applied to the likes of Foulds, Threlkeld, Cooke, Sutton and Lavery rather than players being dropped, which as we have nothing to play for is IMO the correct thing to do.

 

Is it just my i follow connection that is poor?
