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

So what’s he saying? That they should have won? They didn’t even have a shot on target…:thinking::joy:

:grin: Agreed. Sensational. And Uncle running around like a two year old to shut them down!
There is a real belief in this team, this squad. No doubt there’s something special going on here. We’ve got a fair degree of skill, some good pace, cover in almost every position and oodles of confidence.
Long may it continue :grin::soccer:

That second goal was a thing of beauty
Keeping possession for a spell like that but still breaking a team down who are sitting is crucial in certain games
Huge confidence boost to the players to know they don’t have to jus the direct but can keep the ball
Excellent stuff

Trivela need to be absolutely sure they have a succession plan for Mat Saddler if we keep this pace up…

Most opposition fans forums would be in meltdown after a 4-0 reverse.
Colchester fans seem quite polite (and not very numerous)

Keep that line going at that angle please, great start

Ruthless, and clinical in a game that was totally flat for 70 of the 90 minutes.

Keeper protected again, had absolutely nowt to do. He must love playing behind that lot.

Very satisfying early afternoon. 4 nil is probably a bit harsh but its a nice feeling to give it out rather than receive it like usual…Spidey senses tingling is getting stronger…

I reckon away fans can pick up similar comments from some of our lot on here when we get beat.

What a second half performance that was.
If someone told me at half time we would win this game 4-0 I would have been sceptical especially after our below par 1st half.
I can’t use enough adjectives to describe Connor Barrett, he just gets better and better with every game. The club had better put a serious price on his head as he’s a very precious commodity.
As they were pushing forward for a goal we counter attacked brilliantly, Lowe had a good shot saved by the keeper who pushed it out to Earing who found the corner of the net for a very composed finish.
Another counter attack saw Lowe unselfishly passing the ball to Earing for a tap in and our 4th goal.
Colchester played some nice tidy, possession based football in the 1st half, but had no answer to our dominance in the 2nd half.
Before the game I would have predicted 2-1, but 4-0 against a good side is just brilliant!
How Liam Gordon was MoM is beyond me, he had his worse game for ages imho.

Score doesn’t represent the game, but definitely shows which team took their chances!
And which team created any…

I think the Edwards injury was a significant moment. His substitution allowed Barret more freedom. I was worried at half time that if Edwards drew another foul from Barret we could have been playing with 10 men.

As it was, they had a plenty of possession but no real threat apart from a few scrabbles.

We are top of the league, we are top of the league!!!. And it’s a long way to Essex when your shit.We really took that game by the scruff of the neck when we went 2 up and that was a really enjoyable early afternoon of beer and football.I’ll be asleep by half 5.
