Now i have spent today pondering what i actually saw yesterday and how i should react..
However after spending the game watching Bradford players to look for scape goats all i could think about was how tired the players seemed to be in the second half...
First half we were ok and matched em their first goal was amazingly spawny BTW... Garcias second a gem of a header which if DR had being on his line he would of easily saved it...
Second half we were as poor as ive seen in a very long time except for the ten mins the subs came on..
They, Colchester that is, look a good side who play the ball round very very neatly...They looked like a promotion chasing side..
Indeed if it wasnt for DR yesterday we could of easily shipped 6 or 7 goals...Not through bad defending but through their excellent attacking build up play..
The system was working first half and only when they upped the gears were we soundly beaten... No matter who come off that bench yesterday we we always going to be second best to them..
Things i noticed were
DR was amazing with his saving ability...World class even...However his kicking is attrocious and allows teams to come straight back at us time after time...If he doesnt get sorted out he will be too much of a liability..
Wethers remonstrates more at the officials than he actually defends ...Once it happens its too late the decision makers will not change their minds...
At the back we were pretty decent Stew Peas being the best..Solid again.
Wingbacks if thats what they are supposed to be were ok Holloway was more than competent once again for me.
The midfield were shocking second half and provided nearly nothing to the frontmen to go along with there lack of help to the guys at the back..
MBW i suppose did the best out of those on show... Penford was shite and
Deano fanned in and out...
Up front we are light weight and Cooke for all his huffing and puffing just isnt going to be any use and should go at the end of the year for me...
Penford isnt the player so many scream about on here neither is Jake Wright...
Relegation i still think is far far away..We lost to a top side football wise..
Todd should have changed things earlier but he saew what we all saw and knew he had little that could improve our chances...
Never been to Colly before but i can now honestly say i will not go back its a right shithole of a ground...Couldnt even fill it 4500 ffs and Championship bound.....
I met Panth and thank her for her company during 90 mins of poor poor football..
