Colchester 0-2 Latics

[opinions4u]

A win where we never win.

 

Four wins in five.

 

Well done to the 142 who made it there.

I echo those sentiments.

 

Backing up the Donny cup performance like that is brilliant by the lads.

[shefflatic]

very well done - now go AGAIN lads next week - GOT to keep the performances going and imperative that Furman KEEPS playing as an Attacking Midfielder....do it and the performances and wins are following.

 

I don't want to see our 2 midfielders in a line when we are attacking EVER again with the forward options we have!

 

Only problem comes when Derbyshire goes back for a month til mid Jan (likely return time?) - Leon Clarke possible?

[JoeP]

Progression in the league and in the cup - it's been a good week.

 

Pats on the back for players and management alike..

[bossrocks]

Excellent result. I'd probably have taken a draw today, just because we never seem to get anything down there.

 

Onwards and upwards.

[steveoafc]

Plenty of attempts and most on target too. Let's hope we're embarking on a glorious run now. Confidence must be high......Well done boys!

[NewBlue]

Dickov IS learning at last.

 

Players ARE performing at last.

 

Goals ARE being scored as a consequence.

 

Better chance our trio will want to stay with every win.

 

Brilliant back-to-back results. Fantastic.

 

Bring on Swindon and Paolo Di Canio! Certainly winnable.

[Oh Heck C-Beck]

Don't get your hopes up guys, four wins in five has tempted me to make an extra effort to get down to BP for the next few games and I have only seen us win 2 competitive games in a year ;)

 

Seriously though, really pleased with the recent form long may it continue!

[24hoursfromtulsehill]

Just got back after the game to Royton. Amazing win. Proper football. Dickov out though cos it shudda been 6.

[stargazer]

We all knew a performance similar to the one against Doncaster would be plenty good enough ......but our lack of consistency was the worry.

 

Great win , let's hope Derbyshire is enjoying scoring goals and if his only option is Forest reserves come January prolongs his stay.

Both of Forest's strikers; Blackstock and Sharp scored for them today v Burnley so it doesn't look like they're immediately in need of goalscorers.

 

Ishmail Miller, also out on loan from them at Middlesbrough, scored today and Marcus Tudgay has scored a few for Barnsley. Hopefully they overlook Derbyshire.

[Laticacid]

Great result, great run of form, MD starts scoring just before his loan finishes !!

 

Never get carried away with latics but delighted tonight , oh when the bbbblllluuuueeeeessss!!!!

[Laticacid]

Also dug out my dads old bovis shirt from 1990 cup final for the forest game, memories, what a day , enjoy the good times eh !

Did you fly back?

Well done to the 142 who made it there.

Now that's impressive

[sbs1trg]

Really solid performance today, moved the ball very well at times. There's no doubting that Colchester were poor, but - as the saying goes - you can only beat the side in front of you. Wesolowski MOM for me with an industrious back-to-his-best display. Only slight grumble is that we should have been out of sight with 15 to go - but that's what next week is for.

 

Balti pies at Col also worth a shout - can only be described as "artisan" - with cumin seeds baked into the pastry. Delicious.

 

 

[flytrap]

great to get a win today and see we're doing well but I fear for us losing Baxter and Derbyshire for the rest of the season. Our attacking options are pretty weak with only Simpson and Smith in reserve.

[Lee Sinnott]

And, best of all, M'voto opened and earned me and my mate five ton.

Dickov in???

Most of our attacking was down the right with Croft and Brown today. The other attackers also played well though, on another day Monty would have had a couple from two distance shots he let fly and we had a couple of easier ones that could have gone in.

[opinions4u]

How on earth could anybody give that second goal to Derbyshire?

 

Baxter's claim is stronger.

[penrhyn]

How on earth could anybody give that second goal to Derbyshire?

 

 

 

True but could you really begrudge Derbyshires claims given the decisions against him the last few months

[the_mighty_bosh]

I know, three other players touched it after Derbyshire's shot.

 

It was definitely an own goal and a comical one at that!
