[cite]Posted By: Weegie Addick[/cite]Would have really liked to see 442 today. A must win match.
No pressure then! But I agree after some poor performances recently we need three points and a strong showing. There are two strikers on the bench and both Ambrose and Moo2 are attacking players so I suspect we'll get 4-4-2 at some stage. If we are to get promoted then this is the sort of match that has home banker written all over it.
I know we're short due to suspensions/ injuries but would love to see a bit more imagination from Pards at times like this. 451/ 433 was working well at times with Reidy pulling the strings. I don't believe it works as well with Holland/ ZZ at the heart of it. And we've become so one dimensional lately with the hoof up to Big Chris. Colchester will know exactly what to expect from us, and are likely to be well-prepared. Disappointed there's no Dickson on the bench, but did someone say he's injured?
Cardiff have beaten Plymouth 1-0, so that's one result going our way and perhaps further proof that this looks an open league. Cardiff are now within sight of a play-off place.

Let's hope that he's properly ready today and not just injected with painkiller to get him through 55 minutes.

I feel more comfortable with Magic at rightback rather than in the centre.
Ambrose on the bench means he's not properly fit then - Pards was really hoping to play him.
This seems more an attacking 4-3-3 formation than 4-5-1.
Let's hope it does the business.
I hope he gets a good round of applause from the Valley crowd and that otherwise he's ineffective....(!)
Also ex-Charlton Kemmy Izzet is on the bench for them along with their resident OAP.

Come on lads, please prove me wrong!
Exactly - how to ruin his confidence without even playing him!
So far...
Good job Lisbie is crap.
