The Voice - Match preview Colchester United vs Bradford City Saturday 16th November 2024 3:00pm

Can't bare thinking about where we'd be without the big lad upfront.

 

Hopefully it wont be along term injury, Alexander recons its a dislocated shoulder but he doesn't know Richards history with regard his shoulder, some players can just pop it back in but the way he looked in a lot of pain until he got his gas & air lets hope its not a long injury as Richards performed pretty well recently.

 

Yes you can.
We have no style of play, no leaders, very little quality, no plan B (never mind a good Plan A) a poor squad…. Probably other stuff I can’t be bothered thinking about.

 

He can be responsible for not assembling,setting up and motivating a team to shine in a shit league instead of relying on one man to score and hanging on to a 1-0 lead for the rest of the match.I didn't watch but I assume that's what happened.

 

Rogered just thinking that. Barrow would have been promoted if they kept him. Tranmere maybe too. Us. Keeps us in the division. Our defence is poo 100 mins and no marking very very bad.

 

Nobody saying how poor we were from players and manger , until we get our performances better we are going to struggle to win games , injury play a big point in why we're struggling but we are so lacking in pace around the team it's hard to play away on break , we just keep giving ball back to teams to attack and build pressure

 

I wouldn't have said that of Kavanagh others maybe but IMO Calum looks to be made of sterner stuff.

 

Sorry I'll have to disagree the game was ours if the defenders had done their job defending a simple corner that was not the managers fault.

 

Alexander is on thin ice.
I want him to succeed but unfortunately the squad don't.
One striker Andy Cook simply not good enough in this terrible league.

 

Add Richards to the injury list.
Popped shoulder which he's had before and kept him out for a while I think.

 

I mean, it was and it wasn't.

In the first half we had a few attacking moments, and the two new short corners created chances but the second half was poor, we hardly had the ball in the box or looked like creating anything and just dropped off deeper and deeper colulminating in taking off the two forwards. It was poor tactics and they deserved their equaliser just for the effort they put in even though they lacked quality overall.

 

I heard that bit as well. These people walk amongst us.

 

2 home league matches in a row now.
Need 6 points or pressure is firmly on unfortunately.
I knew Vale would be the ones to catch with their striker options.

 

The overall performance was typical of what we see under GA though. Yes it was criminal defending but even when we win under him it's generally a turgid watch.
We nicked a goal from our only attempt on target and then just tried to time waste and hang on to the 1-0.
I just want and expect to see so much more, especially at this level

 

The defending was amateurish to say the least.
Our squad is on par with the rest of league two absolutely dire.

 

That was not the point I was making, of course the squad doesn't look good at the present moment although as poor as we've been sitting just outside a play off place says to me this division is as bad as we've seen for a long while, maybe getting a few of our better injured players back will see us comfortably back in the shake up, but that was neglect of duty from professional footballers unable to defend a corner and to be fair not the best of corners I would expect any keeper to take that ball cleanly or if not punch it over the bar our out of the box.

 

Where have I suggested our performance was anywhere near what we expect, my point was and still is we should have seen the game out and because of lack of professionalism we didn't, poor defending is not down to Alexanders, I'm far from happy but lets call it as we saw it.

 

Absolutely horrific performance. I’d be glad to see the back of this clown manager.

 

You won't have to be world beaters to get out of this League.
This is one of the worst leagues for a long time no quality teams at all this season

 

So you thought the other 98 minutes was a good watch???? Keep the faith fella as the rest of us around you fade away.
