Site Supporter Cheese Posted September 19, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2020 Don't agree with the scape-goating of Santos. Seen far worse, and his distribution wasn't bad.

It's shorter than that. We beat QPR 4-0 on the opening day 2011/12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. But if you have a poor central defence and you're leading, there's little chance of hanging onto it. Opposition bound to put pressure on so you need organised defending, no evidence of us having that, whatever the score. I didnt watch today so I can only go off reports but you'd think Delaney and Taft would be have a more "defensive" attitude as well as the extra height. It feels like we're using a 2nd choice defence, it can only improve surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take that tho as a sign of improvement. Likewise. Path laying a bit less stressful. I will hold onto the general opinion of some improvement.

meanderson93 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'd love to know how shite Taft must be in training to not be able to get a game ahead of that cart horse Santos. Disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At its peak, we had Matthews, Emmanuel, Chicksen/Fleming, Hobbs (when fit), Bryan, Nsiala, Bridcutt, Lowe, Darcy, Politic, Verlinden, Bridcutt. Would any of those not improve the team picked for the first 3 games? The jury is out on how many of this year's squad would improve last year's team most weeks. Crawford, Doyle, Fonz, Hickman?

Blondi Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Wonder why George Taft hasn't been involved yet? I thought he would have been a nailed on starter today, especially with Greenidge injured, Jones our RB ahead of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thoroughly dejected watching the FGR game, with that line up and formation. Thankfully IE responded to the letter I wrote him 😃 and changed to 4-4-2 and started Crawford, and it sounds like we looked a bit more like creating something. And if he's not inflexible with his formation that's another positive I'll take from today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its stretching it to say we created chances last week, it was painful. So today something had to change and it sounds like it did. The season starts next week! Hopefully 1 or 2 injured players back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think Santos is as bad as Greenidge FWIW (only seen 1 game I might add) but its not being negative to say a player is poor, its just pointing out that another player might be better, its just a discussion. If negativity didn't help anyone, neither does blind support of mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway no more mentions of that game from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Weren’t Colchester in the play offs last season? Think first Half were slightly better than them, second half we dominated until 2nd goal, based on Colchester capabilities I think minimum we will be this season is playoffs.

Mantra Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Crellin - 5 - bad mistake for 2nd goal, did do some decent passes Jones - 6 - solid defensively mainly, when he did get forward he didn't get his crosses to connect. Baptiste - 6 - solid defensively, kept most things simple. Santos - 5 - seemed to lose his man for the 1st goal but I don't think he's as bad as many are making out Hickman - 7 - fantastic delivery on several crosses and passes, worked hard with his running. Comley - 6 - nothing spectacular, played better than last week though. Would like to see more pass and move from him. White - 6 - similar to Comley, tends to hang onto the ball a bit too long for me but works hard. Gordon - 6 - average performance, didn't seem to get into good positions in the same way hickman did, not sure on him. Crawford - 6 - had some good moments but wasn't the influential presence we have seen that he can be. Doyle - 6 - should've done better with the chances he had but didn't get a ton of service. Delfounso - 7 - flashy on the ball at times, at least looked lively and tried to make things happen.

Super Bock Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Another +1 for miles better than last week but I suppose that’s not saying much. 89th in the football league but it’s always darkest before the dawn. It’s going to take time but Evatt will turn this around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
