Exiles thread - Colchester (H)

[Story of O]

I’m sorry, but these players are better than what we are seeing. It’s the system draining the life out of them

[Highwood Man]

This is Steve Davis type football. Slow, boring and unadventurous. No matters what players we get in, Embleton likes this style of play.. 442 is far too dangerous for him to revert to as tippy tappy slow safety football is all he knows.

Exactly this. 100%.

Meanwhile Crawley are being tonked 3-0 at home by Harrogate?!!

Both Wrights on the pitch at the start

Hardly suprising towie got pulled after 30 minutes .

Pity the same can't be said of the TV show.

I thought it had .

Oh F*ck that means it must still be on somewhere .

Then you lighten their defensive responsibilities by having your sitting midfielder drop into a back three when we have the ball.

You can persevere playing with an isolated striker feeding off of scraps but this is what you're going to get.

This is turgid, the players on the pitch are capable of far more

[gshaw]

Jobi arrival imminent

[North Stand Loafer]

God it's dull.
Thompson looks good signing not convinced by Kemp or Freeman.
Abraham's hardly had a touch.

[i8ubutler]

McAnuff on for Clay.

[i8ubutler]

Happe on for Ling.

[gshaw]

Ling off injured, knee or ankle. Was actually having a decent game may have been the pitch what done for him.

I predict Johnson to come on for the last 10-15 and score with his first shot.

[PoundhillO]

Ling off injured, knee or ankle. Was actually having a decent game may have been the pitch what done for him.

Now we are in with a chance .

[gshaw]

Kemp takes a direct free kick into the side netting

[Eat The Rich]

Now we are in with a chance .

Akinola is not renowned as an attacking fullback so I'd say that we're probably not.

[tuffers#1]

Now we are in with a chance .

At least we know you are the 1 TRUE HATER

Musf be so sad having that much HATE in you

In what way? Don’t think we will play better up front because Ling has gone off

[Thor]

Thompson is fuming constantly about no one collecting the ball or lack of options, he keeps passing it, then getting it back

Liking the look of him so far, seems to have a bit of bite and leadership about him

I like him a lot, good signing.

[gshaw]

Even gshaw says

Aye credit where it's due he was doing OK today, a solid 6 in the ratings later on nothing spectacular but not a problem either.

[gshaw]

Wilkinson again our only threat dribbling past 5-6 players and getting a stinging shot away. There is no other attacking plan aside from what he can do individually.

Exactly.
Criticise when needed .
Not just spewing with Hate like pounded does !

[Mistadobalina]

Introduction of McAnuff has made all the difference. Suddenly have movement in midfield, which is opening up room for others to run at their defence. Still a bit toothless but playing with momentum at least.

[essexfootball]

It's so static and narrow once someone gets the ball

[Thor]

Systems, shapes don’t drain players. Managers do though.

[tuffers#1]

Come on
Lets get.the DJ on for the last bit of the game

[essexfootball]

Kemp subbed so Abrahams on the wing
