Colchester don’t even look good. They’ve just got a plan and are making it work. We look like a bunch of blokes who’ve just met in the pub.

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.

It seems that way. If this carries on it is going to very much mirror the Mowbray season.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Get fucking Reid and JCH on for Vincenti and Biamou.

No doubt they will come on with 5 mins to go

It's been the same most games, a simple plan they try over and over and over.

 

[steve82]

Double sub for me, Haynes and Reid to inject some pace into the side.

 

[Speng]

Anyone want my Brighton and Mansfield ticket

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

Could he have lost the dressing room?

Well and truely lost it

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Our season is going like this now...

 

[covcity4life]

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

As it stands now we are 9.

Blame slade. You never blamed the present manager for a slump last year

 

[Otis]

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.

I have backed him and supported him, but as a manager you HAVE to change things sometimes. That goes for any manager.

Nowt worse than a manager who sticks by something that clear isn't working.

I did. I blamed all of them apart from Robins.

Nah forget that... I’m blaming Chris Coleman for this one

 

[covmark]

Only 1 person to blame for that.

You and blueflint are a right pair of cunts. Only show up when we're in a bad run. Where were you when we were doing Well?

Robins out. Any foreign manager in lol

But it was Strachan's plan in place, remember!

 

[Esoterica]

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.

It's clearly a deliberate choice to play narrow today across the midfield but if your 'wide' players are as slow and trickless as Shipley and Vincenti we really might as well take one off and put Barratt in the hole to try and link the midfield to the attack so that one of McNulty or Biamou stops having to drop so deep.

 

[Otis]

Is it too much to hope for, 2 subs at half time?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I have a hard time believing that the 3 teams we have played have iron clad defences that can't be broken.

Jeez and you wonder why he jumped ship last time. Shoestring budget, depleted by injuries and illness. Probably still make play offs and in 5th round of cup. Some of the comments on here a joke, we deserve all we get and I swear some of you want us to lose so that you can say I told you so.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Switch it around. Must make changes: Reid and jch on for Shipley and vincenti and possibly Barrett for Bayliss.

There is no need for a midfield the way we’re playing.

 

[sw88]

As we were

Only change is Biamou has put his pink boots on!

Ken Deluded?

And wished they stayed there!

I have a great idea for the second half. If McNut has 4 or 5 men on him we should pass to someone else. It's an easy game

Are you watching? He hasnt got the budget excuse either.

 

[steve82]

No changes!

 

[stupot07]

How's Stevenson playing?

How do we score when everybody else is in our half?

 

[Nick]

He's got a 1-0 to defend. Will be about 65 - 70 minutes when we change players but not approach which make it pointless anyway.

Deep lying playmaker, got acres to himself between the lines.

That's the spirit! Leave things exactly as they are.

Let's hope he's kicked some arses!

Come on City!!!!

I think it's 4 that's too much to ask

I like it! Well and truly confuse the Colchester defence

 

[ccfchoi87]

We'll turn this around
