Colchester 21.01.2020 away.

I still think the manner of the win is important, don't get me wrong I doubt anyone would be disappointed with us hitting third tonight. However if this is by a scraping a 1 nil win with Colchester missing a host of chances and City converting a penalty as their only shot on goal, then the doubts will linger on.

 

No, he will need Donaldson to do that and he's not quite ready. Donaldson and Doyle should be a better partnership than Vaughan and Doyle.

 

Yes but will the 15 minute half time break give
us enough time to rebuild it in the other goal ?????????

 

Asking for a friend. Honestly he’s based in Essex and rarely gets up to VP these days. I have warned him about what he’s going to see.

 

Lets hope he and you have had a happy experience seeing the lads get 3 points.

 

......... NO ............. But it will certainly give him another excuse to fall back on !

Like a few others - I expect to see a 5 - 4 - 1 formation.
FULLY expecting a dull point here ........ 1 - 1

BBC STATS (in advance )........

Possession .......... U's ..... 65% ............. City.....35%
Shots ....................U's.......20..................City......2
On Target .............U's.......12..................City......1
Corners.................U's........8...................City......0

McGee to certainly earn his corn tonight.

i will be sat at home nice and warm.

 

5 at the back tonight. Doyle isolated up top on his own.

Bingo for tonight’s post match chat
“Difficult place to come after a tough game Saturday”
“Injuries and suspensions costing us”
“They have a lot of pace and we struggled with it”
“They are on a good unbeaten run” etc etc

 

" We need to dust ourselves down and go again "

 

Had a dream we won 3-1! But we've only scored 3 once this season so my brain probably got the teams mixed up.

3-1 Colchester, and the slip continues

 

Was our '1' an own goal or a pen...?

 

@Park bantam
"Look at the league table we're 6th"
"54 points still to play for"
"Rhodes is weak he and hasn't the bottle to sack Bowyer"

Please, please win tonight.. can't cope with the excuses for failure!

 

No were not we're 5th on goal difference.

57 points still to play for, we've played 27 so still 19 to play.
I hope you have a good accountant because your crap at math's .

 

I hope somebody else is doing the reading for you ..

We've talking about after the game.

If we lose tonight then we will be 6th for sure as Colchester who we play tonight will overtake us.

We would have played 28 games after tonight meaning 54 points to play for. My maths is fine

Keep up!

 

Can actually see us getting something from tonights game
Historically we always do the unexpected
or am i dreaming

 

93rd minute scramble in the box with Oteh eventually fumbling it into the net - Bowyer erupts with joy as he now has something "to take from the game".

His post-match comments were "it's a fortress is the Jobserve Community Stadium, one of the toughest places to come to in Europe, maybe in the world. I thought we battled hard and on any other day it would have possibly been 3-2. We were unfortunate not to get a point but we didn't take our chances and they did, that's all there really was to the game. But... well we're going to have to continue to work hard in training as we have to go again on Saturday, where we can hopefully secure a point against a top side in Mansfield."

 

What it should be:

McGee
Henley AOC POC Wood
Cooke Reeves
Connolly McCartan/Devitt Pritchard
Doyle

Vs what it will be:

McGee
Mellor AOC POC BRE Wood
Akpan Reeves Taylor
Doyle Connolly

 

If you think a draw is enough meaning 2 points from 6 and going into Mansfield needing a win then fine. I can see us getting a draw.

However, we need to win! Puts far too much pressure going into the Mansfield game. At this moment I can't see how we win not with our away record and under Bowyer!

 

If we get beat tonight we could be 7th in the league as both Colchester & Northampton could go above us with wins.

 

Yes mate I said that.

However, considering we play Colchester if we lose we will certainly be 6th.

If we're in 6th/7th I wonder if you will start to question Bowyer? We will be in 6/7th with many around us having 1 or 2 games in hand

It's a massive game tonight. Think many on the fence will decide it's time for him to go if we don't win and to give the new man time to turn things around and get us going again.
