Fox left, Hendrie right probably, if everyone was fit.

10 points from 4 games and zero goals conceded. Good little run. Should give the lads confidence. Hope they get a decent following on Sat.

Thought pretty much everyone played well,but perhaps HJ is a weak link. Loses the ball a lot, got caught out many times too.
Barely even saw Hendrie.
Otherwise the team picks itself.


I think your being a bit harsh tbh. We've looked loads better at the back since they both started the last 4 games.

Agreed im not having that, HJ has improved the side since his return, he’s young and inexperienced, he will have bad games, but I think he’s got great quality and needs the supporters backing to be an important player for us

Very good result and the players fully deserved their round of applause at the end. Well crafted goal, would have liked for Embleton to have had a wack at it earlier on and for us to be a bit braver in the final 3rd. A clean sheet and another win, things are starting to look up, well done lads.

I'm an exile and certainly wasn't meaning to imply he's a bad player as I've not seen enough games to form a fair opinion. Tonight to me he stood out as the one player to give the ball away a lot and get caught out by their attacks. May well just be he had a bad game, or Colchester are much stronger on their right side.

Really? As I got to watch the game, and guessing many/most who are on here during 90 minutes didn't, was trying to share my thoughts. As someone who rarely gets to see games I'd assumed the thoughts of someone fresh to all the players would be of interest.

Already been saying we were better side, deserved the win. Very happy town fan.

Thought I was being helpful. I'll keep quiet.

It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae and over-analyse match performances but, on the face of it - 10 points from 12 and four clean sheets.

Given the run we were on, I can have no complaints.

Of course, in the detail of the performances we might still see weaknesses and areas to improve, but I imagine MJ and the players are already trying to address those.

This isn't like last season, when we were scraping results under Slade but always looking like we could hit a winless run.

There's a bit more hope and promise in this side. I can see what we're trying to achieve, we just need time for the manager and the players to properly execute it.

The last four results may not have had swashbuckling performances but given the precarious position we were in, there's no doubt the players were feeling the pressure.

When we nudge ourselves into a safer mid-table position we might take those shackles off a bit.
