They look much more composed on the ball and considered in their passing, We really look rag-bag.

Thats because they have a plan. They will have been doing it in training and they will know what they are doing without thinking.

Burge again goes long but it just clears halfway but goes to their player, they then knock it about again patiently.

Why is Robins so stubborn to not try something else or is he that fucking clueless.

 

[oucho]

They unlock our defence again and put striker through, but luckily a heavy first touch.

We are getting a lesson again so far in the basics. We keep just hammering the ball back to them like it's an attacking drill for them in training.

So that's three such "defence splitting - clean through" passes already - who is meant to be picking up their ball player to snuff out these chances before they're made....and where are they?

 

[Esoterica]

We're playing with 2 players in their half, even when they have the ball on the edge of their own box. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Genuinely think we're playing for the draw.

 

[Nick]

It's as if we have 5 players on the pitch the way they are making space and passing it.

 

[Otis]

Yep, they are being patient and trying to unlock the defence. We are hoping for a defender to miss it for McNulty to go through. Even if Biamou wins the header there are enough Colchester players to sweep it up time and time again.

So getting the required response to the past two defeats then from the players, eh.

I like Robins, but at times I do scratch my head and wonder what on earth he is thinking.

Mansfield winning. Notts County winning. Wycombe winning and Adam Armstrong just scored for Blackburn

Stevenson fires over after we lose a battle for the ball in the middle

Yep, could have told you that from the off. Robins hasn't got the bottle to try for a win.

If any of our strikers get it, they have 4 of them at least on them straight away.

Burge just keeps hammering the ball back to them.

It's like being at school and every time you go your usual way to school the school bully stops you and steals your dinner money.

There are a few different routes you can take to go to school in order to avoid him, but you decide to keep going the same way and hope the bully just gives in at some point and leaves you alone.

Do you want to talk about it? LOL!!! Only joking m8, bullying is a serious matter.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How’s their loan player from wolves looking? They must be nervous of the big oops small oops they must be nervous of something

Notice Stevenson made a run into the box just before that too wanting to get onto a pass, hope he didn't get a nosebleed.

 

[sw88]

I’m kinda hoping that the players are saving themselves for the cup because if we play how we did Saturday and so far tonight we are going to get anialated

 

[Ricketts]

WTF doesnt Robins vist SBT for a few clues about how to manage.

There is 30,000 experts on here, for goodness sake!!

 

[coop]

Richards has scored for Swindon looks like he made the right choice.

 

[sw88]

Their striker goes for an overhead kick, claims a pull back, ref gives a pen

 

[Nick]

Shipley crosses, we have 2 in the box to their 5.

 

[rupert_bear]

It sounds to me we are playing to get the manager sacked

 

[Otis]

I lied Brian.

It's not school, it's me at my employment now and the big bloke from accounts.

McDonald. Couldnt see a pull

Look at how much the wing play put us under pressure.

 

[MatthewWallis]

Another loss then.

Game over, Robins will be trying to defend this. He's lost it.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can see a slow decline till the end of the season. Think we’ll be safe though

 

[Sky]

game over already, offered nothing

 

[skybluepm2]

Softest penalty I’ve ever seen. Appalling.

 

[oucho]

This is even more annoying than people on here writing names as "Vincente" and "Robin's"

 

[Otis]

Scored

1-0 Colchester

We don't usually come back from a goal down.

Will Robins change things? Three defeats in a row will be devestating to our morale.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Need the ref from Saturday. McNulty definitely pen not given

 

[Esoterica]

McDonald. Couldnt see a pull

Look at how much the wing play put us under pressure.

Their player has gone for an overhead kick and judged it horribly. That is literally all that happened there. Absolutely shocking decision.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Must change things now. Can’t afford to just let the game drift away.

Their winger runs at us again, nearly puts ther striker through.

Is Robins watching this at all? Whens he going to change it?

 

[stevefloyd]

To be honest we have lacked pace since adam was a lad

88 minutes.
