I'm not convinced that Pope will start even though he holds the ball up well. We have been playing Bennett more than him, and Archer who is looking better than them both, is now back from injury. Its a massive change for us to have attacking options.
Not sure what to expect from this one. Orient are doing OK, and we look capable at home, but we need to start picking up league points away from Vale Park.
It all depends on who is back in the team or not, and either one of Oyeleke or Amoo back could turn the game in our favour.
I'll go for a...
Well done Colchester for a very unexpected win, and to Crawley who had inferior opposition, but helped to make it a great night for us coupled with our win. There is no way Nathan Jones can survive that result surely?
I think its fair to say you have a good team. You targeted our weak left side from the start, over-running it time after time, but if you have faults, its turning possession into goals and a slightly shaky defence. You'll be up there once things settle down for you.
To be fair to Mansfield, they didn't do it last season or in recent years, but today they were kicking the ball away at free kicks, diving and generally trying to con the ref, who was clueless enough to let them get on with it. I can only think that its the new manager?
I pretty much said the same thing at the game, and it just got worse when Montano went off early in the game, so to score two was a decent effort even if we didn't play well.
I cant wait to get our injured players back. Our lack of quality options on the bench was there for all to see with the amount of injuries we presently have. Thats a nasty run of games gone and we haven't done too badly. With Amoo, Oyeleke and Brown available hopefully available next weekend, we...
It sounds like we were close to getting a point, but the subs changed the game, and where Exeter had decent options, our injuries left us with little decent back up. Mansfield next which could be interesting after their game tonight.
several really good performances today, Legge, Smith, Taylor, and Gibbo who I was certain would get a red card after his early yellow. Browne looks a more than capable replacement for Oyeleke or Amoo.
