JohnnyPimp Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Only when we went behind. Winchester's header should have seen us go one up. Jones flung in three or four inviting crosses before Wilson gifted them their first. We attacked with intent yesterday but were let down by poor finishing and even poorer defending. I get it that we're piss poor but let's stick to the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rasulo plays so far advanced that he's effectively a support striker to Murphy, then that would be my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Mustn't take Colchester for granted, apparently - although gaining no points, they have been playing well under the new manager. http://www.cu-fc.com/news/article/kevin-keen-southend-united-gillingham-reaction-2874160.aspx Edited December 30, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 A loss to these could see the end of Dunn? Especially if convincing. It's all well & good him talking about 're-shaping' (he is bound to) but getting beat by them at home could even have Corney realising its not working...

It's all well & good him talking about 're-shaping' (he is bound to) but getting beat by them at home could even have Corney realising its not working... This is the key issue. There's a lot of worrying about us selling our best players. While it's understandable, it's rare that we haven't sold our better players in recent seasons. In the past we've been able to find adequate replacements and quite often been able to sell the replacement on for similar amounts of money. The difference is that the managers have shown signs that they were worth backing. Dunn hasn't. His record is W2 D7 L7. His signing's have been about average on an individual basis, they haven't made the team better and the way he has set the team up doesn't look likely to bring us the wins we require. Saying that he might need two transfer windows to fix things indicates that he doesn't understand the urgency of our situation. Losing to bottom of the league (on a 9 game losing streak) at home would be as clear a sign as any that he doesn't have what it takes. The only saving grace for him if he loses on Saturday is that we don't have the money to sack him. If that's the case then there's not a lot we can do other than back him in this window and hope against all proof so far that he keeps us up.

Magister Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I think there is some serious underestimating of Colchester going on here....they have the same numbers of points as us and have scored significantly more goals than us....they ship a few for sure but for a new manager it is easier to stop a side conceding than to get one scoring. They will come here with 17 elite athletes who are amongst the best footballers of their generation.....we are playing a professional football outfit not The Dog and Duck. They are struggling and we should expect to win but some on here seem to think some of their players are the little lad with glasses who was always the last pick in the playground.....he wasn't ..he was the lad who was best at rugby cricket and running too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Colchester will be Dunn's Grimsby* moment and a realisation that the situation is terminal.

Blue_Guru Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He might just decide to leave Louis Van Gaal style. Nah he will want his chance of a football manager transfer window before he walks...if by February his 'new' team still aren't up to it then he could walk.

bluear Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Dunn won't get sacked. We can't afford it. As much as I'd like to drag him out of there myself I'm afraid we're stuck with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance Dunn will be sacked, especially as Corney no longer has the stomach to conduct another search. He'll be given a transfer window, and by then, if he's :censored:ed up it'll be too late to make a significant change in management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Richard Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Got 1-1 written all over it. Won't do either of us any favours. Dunn won't get sacked, unless there is another grand plan waiting underneath the surface that we all will be taken aback by when announced. Dunn might be given a crack at bringing some of his own players in during the window, it may work and I sincerely hope it does. For me, it's the uncertainty of what is going to happen next. No one of a certain seniority seems to want to tell us anything about plans, back up plans and reactions to different situations that may or may not arise. I'm sure we'd all feel better if we were told what to expect rather than speculating blindly about the direction the club is pulling.

NewBlue Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Chron says that Connor brown is coming in at left back Mills must be well down the pecking order. There's many that have regressed but he has entirely capitulated. What on earth has happened to the player we once had? He's been horrendous this season.
