Colchester nullified our attack as they out muscled us in mid field and cut off any supply to our forwards. They stopped us scoring, the reason they won the game however was our inability to deal with the play that led to the goal.

Khan at Swindon (ex Chesterfield) probably one of the better ones I’ve seen this season in stopping opposition play. To be honest the little fella they had yesterday (Greaves?) did very well, in a game that was hard to excel in.


Was Greaves the ginger one? If so, he was the best player on the pitch.

I think if you ask the opposition this question I think a few would say, Clifton.

Quoted from Poojah


We simply couldn’t handle the physical battle that Colchester brought to the table. Of all our outfield players, only Waterfall was taller than 6ft. They meanwhile had no less than 6 who met the criteria.

I think it’s no coincidence that we’ve performed better against teams in higher divisions this season. We’re a decent, hard working team, but we badly lack the physicality needed to perform consistently in League Two. Of course it’s not as simple as signing a load of 6ft 5” lumps, but it is something we need to address in the summer.


My immediate thought when they came out for the start was 'Our tallest is on par with their smallest'.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Holohan and Morris did a very good job at controlling games earlier in the season. Newport away stands out as they bossed that game.

FFS....we lose a game at home and now its time for "squad" bashing threads to start and the meltdowns to begin!..
We lost, we got bullied, pulled down to their level, it happens!...get over it, we move on.

Think the point is, well the one I was trying to make last night, we don’t dominate home matches in the way that we would hope/expect. Whilst Green has limitations he would have been ideal yesterday as his physicality was much required. Against teams like Colchester we either need to sign on players who are much taller and stronger in stature or improve the quality of our football on the ground. Unfortunately the latter is not helped by the state of the pitch and the injury to Khan and a complete reluctance to put Scannell on the pitch.
