Managed to get up for this one. Never looked like he believed in himself, but our penalty record has been terrible this season so surprised we don't have a taker in place.
Colchester haven't been anything special and neither team seems to know what they're doing with the ball in the final third. Difference is we have defended just a bit more poorly and gifted them a sitter. Murphy also got some boos after the miss, can't be relishing the prospect of more games here. Jones looks bright when he gets the ball, but everyone else seems to just stand still when we are in possession and not have much idea of what to do.

No it isn't. The penalty taker is normally agreed prior to the game starting. I strongly suspect that didn't happen here and also we've missed 7 out if 10 taken over the last two years.

Well you are the same person, so I'd be worried if you didn't agree with yourself.

Yes it is, it was an awful penalty. He is a professional footballer, they should score every time bar a world class save.

Mowbray has used up all his good will now. he'll start next season as manager but if we don't hit the ground running then fans will have his blood

That video they keep banging on at half time is almost as embarrassing as our first half performance. Doesn't get any worse than this.

Pretty sure Fortune scored a penalty earlier in the season...
The closest thing to a Great Depression round here is you. Prick.

I'd say give him til next Xmas/New year.
If we are up the top, and he starts to falter again, get rid.

87 goals conceded by Colchester... 0 today. We are devoid of ideas and imagination. Lose this and I really will begin to lose faith in Mogga.
It's more than that I think, probably something like 10 out of 13

Jones again having more of a go with the ball, bit lethargic from the rest.

Well Murphy will be back at Norwich soon. I'm sure we will be massively successful post departure.
We'd actually now be in the relegation mire without his goals and assists but hey ho

Even Dongo has admitted he made a mistake and apologised.

If he hadn't been playing in the 30 odd games that he's been awful we would have almost certainly done a better accumulation of points purely based on the fact that we would have had 11 players on the pitch.

True. What is also true is he and others have dropped off markedly since New Year.
