U23 v Colchester (6 Viewers)

[Nick]

Looks like an attacking midfield with Ogogo and Andreu both advanced.

happy for hickman. we need agogo back in form, cant stress enough how good he looked first day of season.

 

[Covstu]

Why do they call it U23's?? Surely this team is just the reserves??

Get with the programme, Granddad!

its pointless though isn't it??

Not sure why it all changed. It's not as if only U23's are playing is it.

Are there any limitations at all I wonder.

I think the only real limitation is a max of 3 over-23 players

Is it?

That explains the change from reserves to U23's then.

Cheers.

Bakayoko is a scoring machine

 

[skybluegod]

Robins did say that Ogogo likes to get forward, and have the ability to press high up the pitch. Probably very suited to a 4-3-3, but doesn't seem to fit in with us?

Good to see Baka, get another double. Making it hard not to be picked.

 

[Otis]

Be very interested to see how both Ogogo and Jones have done today.

CC4L would also like to know how Agogo has done too.

 

[covcity4life]

4-1 win,andreu scored and bakayoko bagged another

sounds like ogogo and andreu were invovled in most of the goals

good stuff

I agree.

 

[smileycov]

amazing what a bit of confidence does. I like the fact bakayoko is starting to find the net a bit now.
Think he deserves an opportunity on saturday to be honest.

cannot really drop jch or chaplin after last game though

 

[covcity4life]

its pontins

did no one get this?

Nope. Think we should persist with them. Keep Bakayoko on the bench for now.

 

[smileycov]

do we not think that the fact bakayoko "appears" to be a little more fluent in front of goal, means he is worth a chance? I like JCH and think he puts a good shift in mostly, but the lack of goals just adds to the pressure, i'm sure CC would relax a bit more if 1 or 2 others have scored each game. as the game drags on he must feel more and more expectation that he will be the one to break the deadlock.

Go on - I've got a smattering of education, watched far too much TV for my own good, and read a lot, but haven't got a scooby! If only for me, spell out the witticism!!

Jch excels when we are holding onto a lead. He can slow the came down, win fouls and generally kill the came.

I'm not so sure at 1-0 down when we need some urgency.

I did - Pontins league (the old reserve league). Didn't feel it was worthy of a 'like' though

Said the same on Saturday, seems to slow it all down and sometimes we need to put the pressure on. Needs to get his shooting boots on.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I cant remember a reserve/development team this strong! a lot of these will still struggle to get into the team Saturday! Still Grimmer to come back too.

 

[larry_david]

Jch has a right shot on him. Unfortunately we only know this from the Sunderland game. I'd back him 20 yards out on his left to threaten the goal everytime but he just never ever seems to be in that position

 

[Otis]

We should know it from clips from other clubs.

Seen a few clips of him absolutely blasting shots on from distance. He certainly has that in his locker.

He hit an absolute piledriver into one of the Wycombe defenders at the weekend, I was surprised not to hear splintering bones as it cannoned away.

Definitely. When he first signed I watched clips and he's smashing them in, curling top corner from distance. Haven't seen any of that here

So surely start bakayoko and bring jch on later(hopefully when winning!)

 

[speedie87]

I think jch is the best option at home and Baka away as long as not hoofing it forward
