Hopefully KC has changed the mindset for games like this Colchester’s last three away results (at Bolton, Salford & Grimsby) have all been 0-0. This either suggests that they are set up very defensively with the aim being not to concede or that they are not very good going forward. Three of our four goals at Crawley were balls over the top - It will require a different approach to the Crawley game from us as they will most likely sit deep. Patience may be needed but an early goal for Latics would change everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with us having to break them down differently to what we did to Crawley on Monday, although I'd definitely start with the same XI that started that game. I think they'll set up very defensively like they surely have for the last 3 away games, but 10 away games without a goal indicates that there's something more that's wrong with them than just their set up. I hope we don't do our usual trick of ending their run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Works out well for us playing Friday and gives the team a full week to recover before facing Morecambe, They play Saturday and then again on Tuesday before facing us, obviously an advantage and one we should fully exploit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as things are for us (and there's always the lingering feeling that the worst is yet to come) there's surely no way that we are £30m in debt as the rumours are saying about Colchester.

How the hell does a club of that size (that's supposedly fairly well run) get into that much debt?! The mind most certainly boggles but it is possible that good things can happen and a club can sustain itself given a little push, Accrington are a classic example of how to do things the right way, always had a small budget using borrowed players most of the time, ground improvements on a shoestring within the said budget, bigger crowds from playing in a higher league. If they can do it, I'm sure we could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Travelling around 240 miles before playing a game of football surely can't be good preparation. Their chairman is denying they are in trouble financially, so why do this to save on hotel bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 No reason to change the side that battered Crawley, just back that performance up and I would say we are heading in the right direction. Put in another shocker then it shows we need a shake up of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
