    Pattison. A player needed for a long time.

    What a finish.

    Didn’t see the game, but sounds like most enjoyed it and 3 points so happy Saturday all!

    Saw Pattisons goal, can’t remember last time we had a midfielder like him shame we didn’t have him last season. If it was him or Williams I’m glad the Welshman stood us up.

    He had plenty of time to clear it

    And yet the ref saw fit not to even awards free kick yet booked our player early on for next to nothing. The standard of officiating continues to be an embarrassment.

    I agree with a lot of the positive posts so I won't go back over it but one thing that's not been mentioned is the quality of Smallwood's deliveries today. They were excellent and we should have done much better from them.

    He often, rightly, gets criticised for poor ones so it's only right that he's praised when he reaches a level like today.

    A midfielder running past the striker to score.

    Never catch on.

    Pattison’s first league goal.
    There will be lots more.

    In my opinion, 100% Lewis fault. He had plenty of time to deal with and seemed oblivious to the encroaching Colchester player closing him down.

    It's time for Lewis to pack the messing about at the back. He is a fine shot stopper, but worries me when they mess about at the back like that

    When Walker was on Pattison was back in his own half, with him off it allowed Pattison to occupy the space Walker was in. I like Walker buy we looked far more balanced when he went off.

    What does Hughes see in Osadebe?
    Genuine question.
    Not seen him impact any game I’ve watched.

    Just seen the Colchester goal again. How on earth can anyone be blamed apart from Lewis? An utterly hideous lack of concentration.

    100% his fault and indefensible.

    I didn’t see the match Tuesday except for highlights. But I have read a lot of reports and listened to opinions on here and you are the first one to say Oduor was terrible Parker had him MOM

    I liked McDonald's performance after he came on. He was calm on the ball and you could see he reads the game very well.

    No not having that. There were five choices. He had sufficient time to clear the ball. His judgement was poor. His short pass to Smallwood was simply the wrong choice. He could have played it long upfield, back to Stubbs, across to Kelly, or put it into the Midland Road.

    It was good today that the scoreboard showed the clock after 45/90 minutes and also how much added time there was.

    Oduor is different gravy. He’s going to be a MASSIVE fans favourite. What a baller

    Agree with you Park!

    I felt we were very unlucky to go one down. Dreadful from Lewis. However that goal was totally against the run of play.

    Our equaliser coming on the 45th minute but then having 9 minutes time added on, lost that bit of momentum.

    Pattison’s goal was a corker, and coming from a quick break.

    I thought we were often overly complicated and cumbersome in some of our play.

    Having read some of the comments on here after we went one down, I felt they were over the top.

    However I also think some of the very positive comments after the victory were a bit overblown.

    It was a ‘decent’ win, but nothing to get excited about, against the team which finished 20th in the league last season.

    More needs to be done in respect of cohesion and genuine goal threat.

    Can’t agree BB, he completely lost concentration, allied to not watching his immediate surroundings. He was concentrating up the field if you watch?

    I really wish they would cut out messing about in our own penalty area it causes far more problems than anything the opposition does
