Just Back  (merged)

Quoted from Grimsby2012

To be expected when we don't have a proper striker.

Honestly, you are a complete spanner...why don't you do us all a favour and f@ck off and support Scunny

Colchester are going down arent they. Based on their last few years, the fans seem devoid of hope and interest, purely down to the barebones of the fanbase, one fan abusing hurst all game for whatever reason. Quite a few recognisable football league names in their team but clearly all finished names. I dont think theyll find that lift when they need it this time round. Never wish it on any club apart from scunny, just always seems to be the same story for the clubs that go down

While it doesn’t bother me personally, it’s weird how you can get downvoted on here for posting literal facts, just because people can’t handle it lol

In the 97/98 season we scored 55 goals in 46 games. Our highest scoring striker was Lee Nogan with 8. Jack Lester scored 4 league goals in 40 appearances.

We were very average today, but thats all we needed to get the win in the end. Isn't the saying something like a good teams win even when they don't play well.

First half it seemed we were too deep defensively and too narrow and let them cross the ball for fun and up top we were wasteful with our passes, made poor decisions and our movement was static and made Colchester look alot better then they were.

Second half was much improved, we seemed to press a little higher, catching Colchesters strikers a number of times with an intentional offside trap and while our passing didn't greatly improve up top our decision making and movement certainly did. A great goal from Clifton to add a cherry on top, Smith was magnificent (we need to stop allowing Hull to come and watch him somehow), I also thought Holohan had his best game of ther season today.

I really hope we stop hearing all this nonsense about how Hurst "has to play Clifton through the middle" because "he's wasted on the left!"

Clearly his best position for us, long may it continue UTM

That came from when we were playing a 4-5-1 and he was wide attacking left. Were now back to the tactics of last season and clifton is doing the same role in the same position as last season.

I couldn't care less if we only score 46 goals all season. Aslong as we keep coming out of games with 1 or 3 points..

Quoted from the Colchester forum ‘ We should not be struggling again against these poor teams’.  If we’re ‘poor’ what the fûck are they?  I’m all in favour of a bit of arrogance……….if it’s justified.

I'm quite happy for us to be called poor only losing once in 8.
Swindon at home will be tough, I'm predicting a draw, they love a draw at the moment.

So do we (at home)!
