Colchester 21.01.2020 away.

It'll be dull. It'll be 532 or 5311. It'll be beige. It'll be boring.

 

Our away form is crap, and they aren’t a bad league 2 side. We’ll struggle to get anything.

 

Colchester have got 10 points from 6 games and we have 9 points from 6 games we we've been poor in those games, can't we be positive just for the once.

 

After what we have recently witnessed - No

 

No Vaughan for this and the next.

Donaldson won't be risked.

Dread to think how Bowyer will set us up.

10-0-0

 

No change again back 5
3 defensive midfield players
1 forward
Who will have to come back in our own half to look for the ball
We lose 2-0
Bowyer after match comments we gave away two sloppy goals
Colchester are a good side

 

Right now, I'd take dull and boring if it means we take something from the game.

 

Spot on. Doyle will spend most of the game chasing shadows.

I just cant see any way we will get anything out of the game.

The players seem at a low ebb right now.

 

Only Bowyer could manage a promotion chasing side and have their confidence at rock bottom. Absolutely baffling. I've done Colchester before and not going tomorrow with what GB will give us for our efforts.

 

So this is our game in hand that people were banging on about recently ,saying win it and we potentially hit the top 3. Unfortunately it now appears that Crewe and Plymouth have a game on us , so perhaps all isnt as rosy as they thought.

Always seems to be that we struggle on these long midweek trips, and given the lack of resouces upfront ill be amazed if we come back with any more than a point.

 

This a very good point that some seem to overlook. Always worth taking time to acknowledge things like body language and crowd reaction, it can tell you a lot of things. Watch how we celebrate the two goals, you'd think it was a pre season friendly at Park Ave. Listen to the reaction from opposition fans on vlogs and forums, one mentioned Valley Parade was tense and the place had a nervousness about it. Why? Everyone keeps telling us we are handily placed, one defeat in a while, yet the players and the crowd tell a different picture. How the hell have we got to a position where the players in some cases look petrified to try anything such as a forward pass when we are a point or two away from the autos? 2-0 at home and they like rabbits in the headlights. Little to no communication between the players, they look unhappy.

 

He's losing the players in my view. I thought the same regarding body language on saturday, they look thoroughly pissed off and frustrated.

 

A point would be a decent result against what look very much a nailed on play off rival but dropping two on Saturday makes the need for 3 more urgent now. Cheltenham next Tuesday as well at home. another '6 pointer'.

 

Which of you nutters are going down then?

Used to love these long Tuesday trips when only the hardcore support turned up.

 

Hopefully we'll get a penalty and give Doyle
the chance to get his first goal back with us.

 

Not worth the risk. Only give Doyle penalty duties if Vaughan misses his next one. Will cause unnecessary bad press if Doyle gets hold of the ball and then misses it.

 

Vaughan is out Tuesday, if we get a penalty i wonder who will take it?
