Thank God we have the FA this weekend ... at least that's one extra game to allow our injured players, especially Doyle, get fit again ... so they can get back to league action sooner ?

Oh, not it isn't! We've seen far worse. Remember under Mowbray we didn't win 10 league games in a row, for starters. Under Thorn no away wins all season. Last season we only won about 5 league games until MR arrived. Then there was Mowbray's implosion after the Gillingham 4-1. They're all worse than this, 2.5 games lost. We'd won 6 in a row at home before that!
I'm talking about meltdown on here, not in terms of results.

Please can someone at the game tell us that it's not as bad "live" as it appears on this thread?

Only a couple of weeks ago we were just 1 point off the automatic promotion places.

As it stands now we are 9.

I'd fuckin' concede it, been nothing but a distraction.

Shocking. Apart from McNulty, Willis is looking like our best player technically. That's how bad it is.

Terrible game, we look poor and Colchester don't look much better.

These injury problems are ruining our season. Jones/Andreu/Doyle/Davies/Grimmer all huge misses.

next stage is when we start needing other teams to lose followed by the inevitable when making the play offs becomes a mathematical impossibility. By then everyone is resigned to it. Fuckin' groundhog day.

We’ve got nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it carries on like this then we’ll only score from some incredible magic or an unbelievable mistake. 3-0 wouldn’t flatter them.

What makes it worse is how predictable.
Exactly.

You cross your fingers and hope something will be different, but as soon as it plays out in exactly the same manner as previous, you are simply not at all surprised by it.

Bayliss must be knackered. He's been rubbish again tonight. Shipley likewise. I've been a defender of Vincenti until now but as nice a fella as he seems he's not good enough. Kelly is doing alright but he needs more creative players with him. Both tonight and Saturday we relied on him to be creative and he just isn't. He's good at breaking up play and keeping the ball though.

And if we're not creating anything we're not going to score are we.

A blank sheet for us tonight up front will mean it will be 3 games with not a single goal scored.

Which is why I don't think it was premature to call this side in freefall. Like his 3 predecessors. Robins has shown he can't or won't change things up in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Vincenti and Shipley haven't been in it at all, that's because we hammer it forward to Biamou to try to flick it on to McNulty who has 4 or 5 men on him. Then they get the ball and we start chasing shadows while they pass it about.
