I've watched every game this season apart from Saturday and tonight, but I just stopped bothering. Saturday I fixed my car and tonight I had a bath, both seemed to be more exciting.
I have continued to check the thread as I still feel a connection with you guys on CL. As for the team it's just a bit meh.
Worst squad in years in terms of quality. I actually feel sorry for the players as most of them graft but just are not good enough and Garner seems incapable of turning them into a winning team.
Insist on a style of play, get a manager in to deliver it but don't fund or identify the players to deliver it and then switch the objectives to Operation Break Even whilst charging £32 a ticket.
Clownery of the highest order.
I'd rather watch kick and rush and win 1-0 every game if it got us out of this god forsaken quagmire of a league and cup competition.
This high press style of play is yet another vanity project/ soundbite that sounds pukka but has no real substance when you have a transfer window like we've had and don't replace players like Washington.
Ness: 6 - 7 for the first half 5 for the second. He has shown he isn't a right back but is a very promising centre back. Would have been better to bring on Clayden and switch chin to the right instead of moving him out there for lavelle
Which was a good point, as it was an obvious opportunity to move Chin onto his correct side, and have a left footer on the left. Chin was good, but did cut inside a lot
And then bring Lavelle on for Thomas sometime in the second half before he ran out of legs.

Utter shitshow this club at the moment.
I don’t want to like this. But you’re not far wrong.
I can’t say I was glued to the stream but it seemed to be meandering to a 1-0, we missed the penalty and Colchester woke up, it was hardly the Alamo but we still managed to lose it. We struggle to score more than one goal per game whoever is out there, so few of our players know where the goal is irrespective of the position they play so it’s always going to be a struggle. Unfortunately a struggle is all I can see at the moment.
This was local to me these days so felt obliged to attend…..coasted the first half and flunked the second, not one player wanting to break into the starting XI. Can you blame them with the state of affairs in the boardroom and on the pitch?
We now have a way of playing and it’s good to see its being produced by the club from top to bottom , never score more than one and always let in a goal … consistent as well .

That's FAR too sensible !
Did we miss a pen ? If so, who took it & was it "missed" or saved ?
And we have only played all the top teams.
Colchester reserves is a really difficult place to go, not many teams will get anything there...
Its not fucking rocket science.
Please say there’s a mega rich fan in the wings wanting to sort this mess.
Campbell will probably be needed to fill the rak Sakyi shaped void in our team when palace recall him in January. Certainly looks promising
He takes Clare off at ht. Why not move Chin to his right side and bring on clayden? Instead he brings on lavelle and moves Ness to right back.
One thing is for sure. Ness is not a right back.
If he'd made the obvious change he could have then brought lavelle on later on and replaced a clearly tiring Thomas.
He's not covering himself in glory at the moment that's for sure.
