One of the most bizarre games I have ever seen. We went totally to pieces in the second half after going in 3-0 up. It was like a game of basketball. Barnes was absolutely dreadful. Page played well. Lapslie had a poor game, he is not a full back. Dijksteel after a good first half was poor in the second. Anderson and Mascoll played well. Still trying to get over it.
When you say Barnes was dreadful, any chance you can let us know why?
He nearly gave away two goals with sloppy passes. He gave away the penalty with an ill advised push. He was regularly beaten by the winger. He was very poor.

Just to clarify, Barnes and Page were playing by Lapslie was played fullback?
I was looking at the dev league table and we are really struggling this year. Why do you think that is? I haven't been to a match in years, but was surprised to see us second from bottom, especially as we usually do so well. Thanks in advance.

A thoroughly depressing experience that second half.
Monday, October 23rd: Colchester United (a) West Homes Community Stadium (7pm)
Professional Development League
23 October 2017 Venue Weston Homes Community Stadium Attendance
Colchester United's U23s will host Charlton Athletic on Monday evening.
U23s boss Wayne Brown will be looking for his youngsters to bounce back, having lost at Watford last time out.
It will be a young U's side that take on Charlton, with only three players with any first team experience in the fifteen man squad.
The game kicks off at 7pm on Monday night, with free admittance for Season TIcket holders.
U's: Wilks, Kurasik, Wilson, Brown, Kensdale, Will Wright, Sturgess, Ward, Edge, Ager, Issa, Sheriff, McKeown, Jones, Allarahkia.
Colchester United are a respectable U23 side and value the Academy structure.
