Colchester (H) - League Two - Sat 28 September, 12.30pm

We’d better start scouting right wing backs as Barrett won’t be here long. What a find he is.

Colchester fans giving their team a good reception, which suggests they know we were just too good.

Who was given MOM?

Mat Sadler becomes better at tactics. Very nice win, top of the league. At least for now.

What a result! 2nd 4-0 win of the season. I feared the worst after the first 15/20 mins. They were knocking the ball around and we were chasing shadows at times but the team stays calm and believes in our game plan and sticks to it. Connor Barrett won’t be here next season unless we get promoted btw. How many assists is that for him now? Top marks whoever recruited him over the summer :clap:t3:

The defence should take a lot of credit today as well, they all stood up

Is it even a Walsall team if we’re not hanging on at the edge of our box for the last 10 minutes? :grin:. Loving it. UTS

Last goal my fave, for an 18yr old to be 1 on 1 and have the awareness and unselfishness to square it for a teammate to tap in is class

Side note is unselfishness a word

Surely earing starts over lakin and adomah Matt?
We ended with a better team than we began

Surely the manager is managing both to last a season…

  • I think this is a real positive attribute to have in a team and something that should be applauded. Having the ability to dial up the pressure with our substitutes is a real bonus.

Great win.

The first hour wasn’t so pretty, apart from the Jellis goal, but the second half, we blew them away. We strangle teams - they huff and puff without getting a shot on target and then we turn up the pressure and our quality shines through.

I can only assume that awarding the MOTM to Liam Gordon is part of a campaign to hide the brilliance of Conor Barrett.
