Can’t argue with that. Also great to see Greeny back in contention, he’s been missed.

I’d really love to know what Hunt has done wrong.

Green on the bench, no sign of Hunt.

He’s a walking yellow card.

excrement or Bust from PH . I love it 😊

What happened to the guy from Crewe, think it was Ainley? Did we sign him or was he on trial?

Quoted from buckstown

Injured!

Quoted from buckstown

What happened to the guy from Crewe, think it was Ainley? Did we sign him or was he on trial?

Injured out for a couple of months

Honestly dont think Hursty can make a midfield setup to accomodate a ball passer like Hunt who requires a little more time to pick a pass. So we end up with Waterfall/Rodgers etc al bringing it out and trying long distance passing to somewhere in Roses proximity.
Be good to see Green impose himself on the game but i do wish we could keep the ball better in the middle.

It's good to see Wison & Holohan in the starting line up. I feared the worst for this match for them, given they were both subbed on Saturday

Quoted from DB

It's good to see Wison & Holohan in the starting line up. I feared the worst for this match for them, given they were both subbed on Saturday

With Wilson, Holohan, Eisa and Rose on the pitch we’ve got 83% of our goals in the starting lineup. Not sure if those four have started at the same time this season, but if they have, it can’t have been frequently. 70+ minutes out of Wilson would be a positive too.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

Can’t argue with that. Also great to see Greeny back in contention, he’s been missed.

Agree completely - for all his limitations we have missed his energy and commitment - to stop the opposition playing through the midfield…

I wanna be sat in the porch of Hursty’s caravan in 10 years’ time; Vieux Carré in one hand, a Cohiba in the other, laughing with the guy about his Mark Robins moment that night at home to Colchester in Oct 23.

C’mon Town

Ps. Hope the sèx ban works. I want to see our players as frisky as an unneutered spaniel.

Decent formation. Decent line up. No excuses.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’d really love to know what Hunt has done wrong.

I'm guessing what it is, is not what he has done right, in training etc.  I'm sure if he had been tearing it up in training then he would make the first team squad.  Obviously PH and the backroom staff think he is not good enough for a first team place atm.  I really don't understand all this clamour for him to play, if he was good enough, he would be in, obviously atm he isn't.

Good evening for football . Pleasant 2 mile walk to ground no wind no rain mild. Not many people about though

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’d really love to know what Hunt has done wrong.

are you his dad?

He’s shown nothing when he has played, and clearly he isnt doing anything in training either. Just not worked out for him here, one of them things

Quoted from Hagrid

If this is the case can we move him on in the January transfer window and recoup some of his fee?

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Agree completely - for all his limitations we have missed his energy and commitment - to stop the opposition playing through the midfield…

What? Who, out of Holohan, Clifton and Conteh lacks energy?

Quoted from Hagrid

are you his dad?

He’s shown nothing when he has played, and clearly he isnt doing anything in training either. Just not worked out for him here, one of them things

Odd though, that we had him on loan and hurst practically chased him to sign him for what three years? Now he’s not good enough and can’t get near the first team. Something has gone off. It might be that it’s turned out he’s not up to it by hursts standards but then that’s worrying.

Apologies if I’ve missed this but is Harry Clifton injured, because I see he’s not in the starting 11 or even on the bench. Thanks.

Quoted from Hagrid

You could argue Clifton has shown just as little this season but walks into the squad unopposed.

Not saying Hunt has torn up trees but the whole situation feels very strange.

What’s he done right and why is he on a 3 year contract unbelievable

Quoted from Hagrid

I’m not his dad. Hurst based his pre season on a midfield that included Hunt, a player who he made a big deal of fuss about signing on a long term deal, a player who ripped it up in his first spell. After 70 minutes of our second game at Notts County, he gets subbed and has only been seen once since in a league starting eleven only when Conteh was suspended.

If we were winning games then so be it but our midfield has been generally woeful and , more often than not, worse than our opponents. We’ve been crying out for a bit of quality.

And please don’t give me any excrement about Hunt making mistakes, we’re already coughing up enough goals through individual errors.

Main Stand looks 75% empty, it could be a very low gate.

Personally, if Hurst stays, hunt may yet be less than half way through his 3 year contract but I just don't see him staying for the duration of it. Loaned out in January I would expect, gone in the summer. Certainly wouldn't have thought that way when we signed him but Hurst clearly doesnt trust him even on the bench nevermind the first team, for what is surely a must win game - speaks volumes.

Unless he's injured of course.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

He’s a walking yellow card.

I’m not claiming he’s Pele, there are times when we’ve needed his type to toughen us up through the middle.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

I’m not claiming he’s Pele, there are times when we’ve needed his type to toughen us up through the middle.

I get that but current rules regarding aggressive challenges and yellow cards make him quite liable as you probably know.

People moaning about Clifton's passing  but lauding Green, who's distribution is abysmal

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

I’m not claiming he’s Pele, there are times when we’ve needed his type to toughen us up through the middle.

I hope Green’s nothing like Pele.

Pele was a shågger, which is why he was washed up at 31.

If Green can follow Doigy’s new fluidless, tantric diktat, he should still be playing well into his 40s.

Main stand filled up a bit now but plenty of empty seats

Cheers, do keep us updated

Get in. Own goal

Goal 1 0 up

;D ;D ;D

What a calamity  lol 1 up

Just the sort of luck we needed - now put them to the sword

😂😂😊😂 that was comedy gold

absolutely howling at that own goal, if ever we needed that, it is now

Would have bounced over the bar if they hadn't got rid of the humps  8)

Hilarious!!! 😂

Quoted from DB

Main stand filled up a bit now but plenty of empty seats

This could be more entertaining than the match.

With all this empty seat chat, you’re like our very own, election night, John Curtice - but with more swinging.

normal service has resumed 1-1

Didn't lead for long!

Great through ball and great finish

FFS, even with 5 at the back we still get beat like that

Can't defend can we 1  1

My God we are soooo crap!

Awful awful awful defending

For f*cks sake!!!! Why can’t we defend?!

do we even practice set pieces?

Too early for mocking them.

That gift from Colchester was precisely what Hurst needed tonight, but we still haven’t addressed the fact that  we’re far too easy to score goals against, so we’re back to square one.

5 at the back - need another one at the back and a couple more o g ‘s to win this😩

Judging by this the sèx ban has worked too well and our defenders can’t think of anything else…

We need to find a top class keeper in January

How much time does he want to line his shot up . Schoolboy stuff

Quoted from TAGG

We need to find a top class keeper in January

We don't do top class.

Why do we play for territory like we’re in a game of rugby

Roll short to Rodgers, Rodgers kicks it long down the middle, either Rose flicks it to no one or it sails through to their defence. What are we trying to do?

I’ll stand by my remark that league 2 is just as bad as it was 30 years ago . This is dreadful again

JT needs some new glasses.

They’re the better side here at the minute. Says a lot.

I feel like I'm watching 2 Sunday league sides, it's awful to watch. Noone can string 3 passes together and it's hoof ball from both sides.

This game has a Neil Woods Blue Square era feel too it. Zero atmosphere, calamitous opposition goalkeeper, conceding to a nice finish out of nowhere and a Town side bereft of any kind of game plan or discernible playing style.

30 minutes in, and so far this is not the performance to put the doubters’ minds at ease.

This is dreadful from both sides. Town have 5 at the back but we somehow look out of shape.

30  mins gone and have we had a shot on goal? They seem to have had several !

Hooooooof

Colchester are not very good at all but we can't pass it 10 yards. I feel sorry for Hurst because I don't understand how the players can struggle with the basics like this...

Quoted from DB

30  mins gone and have we had a shot on goal? They seem to have had several !

Holohan saved onto the post and Mullarkey volley blocked

This is terrible, so many risky poor passes. Just no flow to anything, it’s absolutely shocking.

Absolutely male masturbation this. What are we actually trying to do with this set up? Continually hoofing it up to two sub 6ft strikers and hoping their keeper chucks another one into his own net is not a recipe for success

This is absolute dog

Mullarkey had a howler on Saturday and is continuing tonight in the same vein.

Quoted from bawarmy

Too early for mocking them.

? 🤔
Our GOAL! 😁 😂

What the intercourse is Eastwood doing

Get your coat Mr Hurst. This is Shite!

Eastwood is atrocious. What on earth is he playing at there? Just jumped past the ball ffs.

Eastwood. Omg

2-1 Colchester. This is the worst goalkeeper we've had in many, many years.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFS WHAT WAS EASTWOOD DOING THERE!

We are total and utter dog excrement

This is horrendous

5 at the back but all over the place. Short in midfield. Rose and Wilson not in the game. P1ss weak down the flanks. Absolute mess.

Holohan off, Andrews on

Oh dear!

What the hell was Eastwood doing, absolute rubbish. Clee Town could do better than this sh!t

Is Hurst even in the dugout? Can't see him on the telly.

We just look like a relegated team

Quoted from Chrisblor

Eastwood is atrocious. What on earth is he playing at there? Just jumped past the ball ffs.

He is absolutely excrement.
He was coming out for the first goal then back peddled, the second ffs

Oh Sheit

Hurst must have said, "We're playing a team in yellow and blue, they must be flipping Brazil. Be scared lads, be very scared."

It’s down to the manager at the end of the day .  Times up hurst .

Terrible terrible goalkeeping

Quoted from chaos33

5 at the back but all over the place. Short in midfield. Rose and Wilson not in the game. P1ss weak down the flanks. Absolute mess.

Can't blame Rose or Wilson I think between them they've had 1 decent pass which Wilson flicked on into space and no one was naking the run

Eastwood is excrement!
End of.

Quoted from BenBB

Is Hurst even in the dugout? Can't see him on the telly.

Just getting in a taxi outside the ground.

Called it back when we didn't offer Max more than a 1 year deal. Will struggle to get better and Eastwood has been comedy gold this season.

Completely understand the frustration as we are playing poorly, but neither of those goals are Hurst's fault. First one no idea why neither defender tried to put a block in. Second Eastwood had a nightmare. I don't see how sacking Hurst fixes any of this, which worries me more.

P 45 Time

Andrews getting himself booked within about 30 seconds of coming on, brilliant stuff

He signed Eastwood !!

They're his fault because he had a million quid from the cup run and these defenders and goalkeeper were all his signings.

Quoted from BenBB

He's just popped down to the job centre

Can we not do what they did in Escape to Victory, claim both of our keepers have broken arms, and then bring in an emergency loan / Sly Stallone?

This team aren’t as bad as this . They clearly don’t have the confidence in what they’re being told by the gaffer .

Real worry this. These are bottom of the form chart and second from bottom of the league, and they still look magnitudes better than us. Increasingly difficult to maintain a defence of Hurst, as much as I like the bloke.

Worst Town team I've seen in a long time. Clueless performance

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

He signed Eastwood !!

And does sacking him magically reverse the signing of Eastwood and get us a better goalkeeper? I just don't think that getting rid of Hurst somehow fixes our problems.

Jackie Stallone would be an improvement on Eastwood on this showing, and easier on the eye than our football.

Still live in hope but have no confidence

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

This team aren’t as bad as this . They clearly don’t have the confidence in what they’re being told by the gaffer .

They are.

This is utter utter Shite,watched the Dorking documentary earlier and joked we could be playing them next season,well with this team they would destroy us,pathetic.

Eastwood flapping like labia for the second…

Quoted from MaccasBoots

And does sacking him magically reverse the signing of Eastwood and get us a better goalkeeper? I just don't think that getting rid of Hurst somehow fixes our problems.

Well I’ll start praying for a miracle instead then because this has a look of relegation about it . We’ve had plenty of experience of this over the last few years so it’s not hard to recognise ffs

I never thought I’d see a town team as bad as this . I thought the dark days were behind us .

Looking like the biggest 45 minutes of Hurst's 10 year tenure - win or bust you would suggest.

Something has to change and change fast.
Got any balls Jason?

Eastwood is rattled, his confidence is shot to pieces.

I’m depressed watching this , honestly how long do we have to put up with this crap ?
Last season we were terrible at home and we’ve managed to get even worse

11 meek players. Where's the flipping desire to get this ball up the pitch?

He should have changed the shape by now. Khan should be on, Efete or Mullarkey off

In hurst we trust, sustainability before success, be patient

Same excrement, different day

Time for 1878 to show us they mean business now . It’s ok enjoying the successes but now comes the hard part .

we cant defend & we create zilch recipe for national lge if we dont sort it shortly

Colchester are bottom of the form table as well

It's as bad as it sounds. Eastwood is gash and the rest are playing like they've never met before.

Absolute steaming pile of t*rd.

for 5 defenders none of them are where they need to be

Paul needs to throw caution to the wind and play 3-4-3
and tell them all to attack without caution - by the sounds of it putting Cartwright on as well

Very seldom post about we negatives but this is flipping rubbish. We get gifted the lead. We can’t defend, we might as well have Anthony Williams back in goal, we don’t communicate, we keep backing off and we have no confidence.
Bloody rubbish

Quoted from ginnywings

It's as bad as it sounds. Eastwood is gash and the rest are playing like they've never met before.

Are you convinced yet? It’s time for a change.

Rod, Jane and Freddy must act tonight

Andrews can't pass a ball but still gets game time ahead of Hunt, very funny

I am not prone to being over confident but I never ever thought that at the start of the season I would ever witness a performance like this. I thought these was well and truly behind us. This team is shot.

Get Kevin Phillips in.

We still seem to think the slow diagonal will work to a 5 foot nothing left back , up against a big bruiser - strange .

Mullarkey is being played so far out of position he might as well be in the Humber

We look shot. Eastwood, Mullarkey and Rodgers are an absolute shadow of what they looked at the start of the season.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

I am not prone to being over confident but I never ever thought that at the start of the season I would ever witness a performance like this. I thought these was well and truly behind us. This team is shot.

Agreed, that is the most disappointing thing thinking we'd make so much progress. Make no mistake, this is as bad as the Fenty era.

Hurst out

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Rod, Jane and Freddy must act tonight

This lot are a shower of sh1te.

What really baffles me is players like Mullarkey, Rodgers, Conteh, who all looked fantastic at the start of the season, have suddenly become absolutely woeful. I just don't understand it.

I’m not even sure what the game plan is ?

Has he told them to keep playing back to our centre backs until they Nick it off us and score ?

Quoted from MaccasBoots

What really baffles me is players like Mullarkey, Rodgers, Conteh, who all looked fantastic at the start of the season, have suddenly become absolutely woeful. I just don't understand it.

The PH effect?

Even with a comedy own goal gift, we have been absolutely utterly pathetic.

The keeper - how was he ever signed? We even had the hindsight of having him before. Madness.

Death throes. And if you think a change is going to do anything, it’s difficult enough attracting people to Town when we’re good.

I think we’re fûcked.

This now feels much more than a bad run.

Making Colchester look like a really really good footballing side which is worrying.
Amos looks so far out his depth in L2 and not really a good football player.
Rodgers who looked a colussus at the start of the season seems a one trick pony with a 50-yard diagonal ball which has around a 2% accuracy ratio.
Less said about the keeper the better...

I thought I'd seen the dark days but Jesus f»cking wept.

if you always do what you,ve always done
you will always get what you,ve always got
time for Hurst to go,hes out off his depth,players dont believe in him or his negative tactics

Quoted from Teestogreen

Paul needs to throw caution to the wind and play 3-4-3

What really baffles me is players like Mullarkey, Rodgers, Conteh, who all looked fantastic at the start of the season, have suddenly become absolutely woeful. I just don't understand it.

Just a guess but I don’t think they believe in PH’s boring game plan

We are shocking. The rest of the league must be praying for their turn to play us

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Rod, Jane and Freddy must act tonight

They would probably employ Bungle.

It is perfectly simple. The confidence has gone. Hurst has been saying for the last six weeks that effectively we have been every bit as good as the opposition but little things have cost us. But the players do not believe it and the pressure is growing.

Sums it up that we need Wrexham to beat Sutton to stop the bottom club gaining on us and not hoping Sutton grab something so we could close in on Wrexham.

It must be now 100% perfectly clear, even to the most Pro Hurst Brigade that his time is run. This was probably his last chance, along with possibly the Donny game to show that he can turn things around. On even just the evidence of that 45 mins he is just not capable. We are flipping awful in all departments. He's got to go and sooner the better to give a new guy the chance to mend this thing.

Regardless of the final result, we've now conceded at least 2 goals in seven of our last eight games. We are prime relegation candidates. It's given me so much de ja vu of the first half of the Holloway season when we were shipping goals for fun. We are relegation fodder if this carries on.

Quoted from MaccasBoots

What really baffles me is players like Mullarkey, Rodgers, Conteh, who all looked fantastic at the start of the season, have suddenly become absolutely woeful. I just don't understand it.

Hurst has that effect on players. He's very good at coaching skill out of players

Quoted from chipsandgravy

I am not prone to being over confident but I never ever thought that at the start of the season I would ever witness a performance like this. I thought these was well and truly behind us. This team is shot.

If you’d have told me at the beginning of August that we’d have been losing Hurst, I would have been comforted by the knowledge that we’d at least be near the top of League Two. I would not have believed things would be this bad.

If there isn’t a stark improvement in performance and result in the second half, you have to ask how long you can base managerial decisions in the present on events of the past.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Andrews can't pass a ball but still gets game time ahead of Hunt, very funny

Plenty more get time ahead of Hunt too, tells a story, right!

This is truly woeful.

Should have changed things after Accrington..

Quoted from grimps

I’m not even sure what the game plan is ?

Has he told them to keep playing back to our centre backs until they Nick it off us and score ?

Neither of which happened in this game.  First goal was from a great through ball which was finished well, and the second was from a corner.

Hurst binned off McKeown presumably because he wanted a keeper who could command his area. Looks like he's since binned off Crocombe to sign a weaker McKeown.

Quoted from 123614

Comical Ali has logged on I see.

He's signed a bunch of nice guys (not a compliment). These weak-willed fannies are going to get him the sack pretty soon. Zero anger after either goal. If Maher or Eastwood were my teammates, they'd have been getting pelters for their efforts in Colchester's two goals. Can only hope that Green getting back to fitness, despite his deficiencies in technique, might at least introduce a bit of flipping backbone

I made the same point a few weeks ago as I couldn’t fathom out what style of football we were trying to play, whatever it is the players are not on board and it’s looking very bleak for not only PH but also the club.

Any repeat of relegation will be the worst case of miss-management in our history which is one hell of an achievement given our pathetic performances since the millennium.

Green on for Mularky.

2-2 much better! Come on town

WILSON!

2-2!!! Come on Town!!!!!

Yes, Wilson, 2-2

Best 7 mins all season

Quoted from 123614

100% still behind PH.

Surely you can grateful for all the bloke has done for this club and the memories he has helped create, whilst still being able to acknowledge that there’s something deeply amiss.

We’re playing something close to the worst Fenty-era football, without any of the mitigating factors.

Change in formation worked - well done Paul 😃

Any chance we could go on and win this game plz lads

Quoted from denni266

Must be lonley out there alone

Can you hear the several thousand fans backing Hurst at the match?

5010 in attendance

We need to use this momentum to score again - can't let this pass us by

Eisa should have walked that into the net

Eisa needs to score that

56 minutes
There managers seem that they’re getting over run and made two changes

A win tonight will only paper over the cracks and make Hurst  think he can keep doing what is clearly not working

Quoted from denni266

Surely if he wins it's working, that's the whole point right?

Quoted from denni266

I don't think you really need to post anything, denni. It's been obvious for a long time, that you want us to lose so Hurst gets fired. Many don't want Hurst here, and understandable given the challenging run, but they still support the club when the game is on.

FFS excrement deflection and bounce takes it past Eastqood

3-2 we are completely shite

Andrews gives the ball away and they score. Apparently that's why Alex Hunt is never allowed to play but he never ever gets a game?

My god

Meh!

After the Lords Mayor's
show!

Appalling again.

3-2 down and it was easy. Nobody went to tackle the attacker.

At least it's entertaining

And we go straight back to hitting it long, despite actually playing football working for us.

Is the fat lady warming up her voice

That all started with Andrews waiting for the ball to arrive at his feet. A few Town players have done that tonight. Shipping goals like it’s going out of fashion. Simply not good enough.  

Our goals conceded to shots on target ratio is flipping painful. Every flipping shot seems to go in. 4 shots on target, 3 goals, and it is becoming quite a pattern.

This ia schoolboy football. Colchester are dire and we are worse. Whatever the result.. if you know the game, Hurst has to go tonight..

He's never getting us promoted.. so what's the point?

The one thing you could normally say of Hurst, even if you don't like the way his teams play, is that they are solid defensively.
Hmmm, so what's changed because this lot are truly awful.  :o

If we don’t come back to win this - the directors are on the spot  unfortunately - we all want Town to succeed

I don't think you really need to post anything, denni. It's been obvious for a long time, that you want us to lose so Hurst gets fired. Many don't want Hurst here, and understandable given the challenging run, but they still support the club when the game is on.

Nope i want us to win and be a winning side. I just noticed what was happining and how crap we was before others did , And it seems that most have seen it now and being more vocal than me at the moment

After all the crap Scunthorpe have been through they could be in the same league as us next season . Incredible

Amos what the intercourse are you doing

Quoted from MaccasBoots

Amos what the intercourse are you doing

Six players in the frigging box and he does that.

Quoted from immariner

50p foot Amos. Abysmal

More like a threepenny bit  he's not worth that much

So close to being 4-2

That so easily could have been 4.

Good that Tovide has run himself into the ground and been taken off. Thats a lump of pace for them gone

Eisa doesn't trust Amos at all, several times Amos has been free and he hasn't passed it to him

And just to complete the evening sutton have equalised n the scunts have stuck 6 past the 3rd place team

I'm just getting the popcorn ready for the Just Back thread.

Another useless piece of excrement of a ref, intercourse off

5 goals and we’ve scored just 1 ffs

Another miss from 4 yards out

We've been better second half but that really isn't saying much. We're still the same slow and predictable team we've been all season.
Hurst simply HAS to go now or we are getting relegated.

A question - has any club been relegated from the EFL 3 times? (Barnet maybe) because if we persevere
with this management team thats  exactly what is going to happen to us.
I feel sick.

The lads look exhausted and dejected af FT

Commentary was something like, Efete has been really good in stages but falls over his own feet sometimes. That is not a professional footballer that you want at your club. Amos shocking too.
We are in big, big trouble.
Please make it his last game

Well that was f@cking awful and I’m done with that.

It’s over the sooner he’s gone the better , he won’t turn it around his message is lost to this group of players.  

I wonder when it will be announced?

Atleast 3 of the 4 teams below us lost tonight

Thankyou Paul Hurst for all you,ve done but please please please leave and take Doig with you,if you,ve got room in your car take Eastwood as well coz hes f%&king useless

I’m very sad - it’s gone badly wrong - he’s been a great manger for us but we will be relegated if we continue with him we’ll be playing Scunny next season

Quoted from newarkmariner

Thankyou Paul Hurst for all you,ve done but please please please leave and take Doig with you,if you,ve got room in your car take Eastwood as well coz hes f%&king useless

And Amos please.

Well - I’ve given the benefit of doubt for the mediocre start to this season for playing most of the teams in the top half so far.
But this game ! Town have been exposed as relegation material again

Quoted from bawarmy

But one won. The important one who were playing us! You have a glass half full. Mine is less than half empty.

No was just desperately trying to find any sort of posative after that excrement show

Quoted from 123614

100% still behind PH.

There's always one.

Quoted from WayneBurnettsJockstrap

I wonder when it will be announced?

I have severe doubts it WILL be announced.hope i am wrong, it needs a change and it needs to change NOW
not when its too late, please JS & AP act!

Thanks for the memories Paul but your race is run, don’t forget to take your ultra defensive coaches with you, in fact we will keep Shaun Pearson for the youth team

Quoted from bawarmy

But one won. The important one who were playing us! You have a glass half full. Mine is less than half empty.

How dare you suggest Son Of is a half glass full type when it comes to Town

Defensive coaches that can’t coach us how to defend???

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

in fact we will keep Shaun Pearson for the youth team

Think I’d consider playing Pearson in goal until the transfer window opens.

So many coaches who are ex-pro defenders and a goalkeeping coach, between them they can't teach this lot how to defend at all we get cut apart so easily. I imagine the team wage is higher than last year too which makes it seem like some are stealing a living at this point. Gifted a lead and then instantly pegged back by the defence being asleep then it went from bad to worse.

Fair play to Wilson getting us back in it but we looked predictable and fragile at the back all game. Couple of times players should have scored but wasted an easy chance, Amos spoons it when he has 3 in the box, Eisa looked well off it today, looked clumsy and lacking in the confidence to make spaces for himself and shoot we have seen previously. As usual we suffer from defensive issues and a goalkeeper mistake on the corner.

This was a pretty naff side that was able to beat players and cut through the defence who looked slow and lethargic. Conteh about the only bit of quality and I thought that the last time I saw us play.

We're scoring goals and we made more chances tonight. The narrative has always been negative etc but the problem is we're fragile as intercourse at the back. Scored 2 at Tranmere and Stockport and 2 at home to Crawley and Colchester and taken 1 point from those 4 games.

Quoted from TAGG

There's always one.

I can hear him clapping from here

Aside from 15 minutes at the start of the second half, that was dire. The ease at which a side as bad as Colchester created chances against us is damning and I expect Ben Davies to be in charge at Donneh on Saturday.

Another very poor home display. It's time for him to go, Donny on Saturday is a match too many. Thank you Paul you have been a good servant for the club so do the honourable thing and resign.

Maybe these coaches should be changed for buses and parked in the goalmouth. That might work.

Quoted from DB

Well, you must admit Colchester tried to help us out in the beginning.

We’ve been on a horrendous run, playing terrible football but we’ve had a few injuries and struggled to recruit up front after the first few signings. I feel really bleak about this season and it feels like the dark times of the last few years.

I’m prone to bouts of melancholy which the last few weeks have definitely exacerbated. I know I shouldn’t be affected by the travails of 11+ men I’ve never met kicking a sack of air around once or twice a week but I find I am. This is amplified by the the negativity on here which I understand as you all pay your increasingly hard earned money to watch.

I’m despondent about our results and performances this season. I hope we turn it round and I actually think under Hurst and with these players we will. I’ll be logging off until I’m a bit more resilient but I wish you all well irrespective of whether you agree with my unfounded views or not.

Up the Mariners, hopefully see you all on the other side of this. Take care everyone.

Quoted from Teestogreen

Well - I’ve given the benefit of doubt for the mediocre start to this season for playing most of the teams in the top half so far.
But this game ! Town have been exposed as relegation material again

That's been the main problem with Grimsby Town and even its fans over the last ten or so years.
We seem to accept losing to the top ten sides as our manager has bigged them up so much and it's as if we should feel lucky to be playing against them.

We seem to have a culture of not wanting any success other than finishing a place above relegation.
I expected more this season especially at home where we've been bored to death despite turning up in record numbers.

Quoted from TAGG

There's always one.

Actually there are LOTS more than just one.
