I thought Maddison and Phillips were a breath of fresh air when they came on lots of pace and effort and both are very confident.
Barton cannot trap the ball and always goes backwards
The defence looks better with Johnson in it rather than that lumbering fool Martin.

Sorry fella, but Grendel is always right. He said so himself. Better luck next time. All the best *

Barton did nothing all game, stop getting an erection over two passes over 90 minutes. JOB goal was really good finish, not a scuffed effort and certainly better than the two pathetic, pitiful, scuffed pea rollers Barton had in the first half which both went wide.

I'm not even a massive O'Brien fan but along with Ward, they are clearly the two best midfielders we have.

What's more worrying is how awful Willis is playing. Every time the ball went near him it was heart in mouth time. Mowbray saw it too which is why he put Phillips on to double up there. This was a good move and steadied the ship.
i speak as someone who thought Willis looked really solid at the start of the season.

Agreed on Willis, he's decent enough in defence usually I guess but everytime he's going forward he just kicks it out for a throw in or a goal kick.

Totally agree and couldn't believe my hears when I heard on CWR post match that he was named the sponsor man of the match.

Burge 8 - good hands and some terrific saves.
Willis 6 - good defensivly but so poor going forwards. not very technical
Pennington 9 - brilliant
Reda 9 - the man beast is back. exceptional as old manager would say
Stokes 7 - worked hard,very good defsnivly and did great for goal. doesnt attack enough possibly though.
Barton 5 - poor game. half hearted effort today and technically not his usual self.
Fleck 6 - just ok
JOB 7 - great goal,worked hard but didnt do too much else for me
Ward 8 - easily our best midfielder. hope we can get him back next year
Nouble 5 - poor game today
Proschwitz 6 - held ball up well,won a few headers and unlucky not to score. at least it wasnt a ridiculous miss,hopefully it wont demoralise him
subs
maddison - 8 - skills pay the bills,so close to goal
phillips - 7 - put himself about and added something to the right that we missed earler
odulsi - 5 - didnt make an impact.
overall comfortable win for me,great to see.

Weird. My mate and me were noticing first half how few headers he was winning. Watched every challenge after that, and he was still losing more than he won.. Not knocking him as a player, thought he had a decent game, especially as the challenges he lost out on didn't turn into goals against....

he miscontrolled two passes in the first half, JOB miscontrolled at least 5, and got cheered off...
he put 2 good passes into the box, and regularly looks to pass forward, but watch when he has the ball and see the lack of movement for a pass. That's down to the 2 strikers being poor today. Barton had a below average game today, and that gives the haters ammunition, where others escape it for being worse.

You watched a different game to me. We are a much better side with him in the side.

I think the love in for Maddison is a bit OTT today. He had a couple of good moments, worked hard, and got in the way of Phillips in the box. Terrific comedy value on that one.
I don't buy that he changed the game, we were in charge for most of the match.
He he is undoubtedly going to be a very good player, but I think Some peoples ratings are based on that rather than today's performance.

Job did the usual run around a bit with some sort of intent but lacks any quality or pace.

Just watched the highlights in order to confirm my thoughts and dispel your strange comment there, Oakey.
JOB's goal was placed beautifully and was anything but scuffed.
I thought Barton and JOB were both decent In their roles today
Barton Irks me sometimes when he does the piruette thingy
Jobs goal was very well taken
We've scored a few from that move this season
Nouble from Haynes assist v Gillingham being the most notable
Back to those midfielders, who gave the ball away most

It's off the ball that irks me the most with Barton. Sometimes he simply refuses to move into any space and just stands there wanting the ball directly to his feet in the spot he is standing.
When that happens though invariably, he just passes the ball back to where it came from.

Burge 7 some vital stops did well but still does not convince me
Willis 6 - Not his best game but solid defensivley
Pennington 7 - Good very assured though Colchester did not really test.
Johnson 7.5 - Good to see him back a dominant force at the back.
Stokes 7.5 - I thought he had a very good game good defensively and one of few players who tried to drive us forward.
JOB 6.5 - Worked hard took goal well
Ward 6.5 - First time I have seen him liked what I saw but think from feedback he has has better games? Great signing though.
Barton 6 - Did ok but him and Fleck too similar can only really have one in start xi
Fleck 6 - Same Comments as Barton
Prosch 5.5 - Tried hard but pretty ineffective should have scored after rounding goalie
Nouble 5 - Same as Prosch minus tried hard....sick of saying he has so much more in locker than what he delivers
Subs:
Maddison 7.5 Great cameo tried to make things happen actuaky felt some excitement when he got the ball have not felt that for a long long time!!!
Phillips - 7 Also di well when came on and was postive
Odelusi 6 - did not have long but did not look great either
