2 vital matches over this weekend, particularly with other teams meeting each other today:-
Bradford v Forest Green Cambridge v Morecambe Cheltenham v Tranmere
A win today guarantees a position in the top 3 tonight!
This should be a good win – Colchester haven’t won away for 11 games and haven’t scored away in their last 9 away games BUT there have been 4 0-0 draws in those 9 games so we need to be wary.
I expect a similar team to Forest Green. I expect the manager to play his best eleven every game from now on – no resting players. Friday and Monday is no different to playing Saturday/Tuesday games and we have 2 of those coming up in the next week or two.
I think today will be difficult – a 1-0 win will do me.

Agree dont think there will be much in way of tactical changes. Pick the XI and get by. Momentum/adrenaline will get them through and quick fire games has worked well. Partly as ive said momentum, but i also think long breaks gives Evatt more training and with that comes a slower, methodical game.
I do think Thomasson will drop out. Delf in the middle and Isgrove back Right wing/attack.
I think the old mentality is that these runs must end and that we always give those teams a 'leg up'. They havent won all season...Welcome to Bolton theres your three points.
Now we have to think. There is no reason why this run cant go on until next season. We are the best team in this league. Would Man City fear Newcastle? Of course its tight, its tense. We cannot really slip(although we have the play off safety net).
I dont think Lewis Hamilton gets in the car thinking "ive won a lot recently, law of averages says" or Floyd Mayweather never thought "this is a tricky one, might not be my day"
Although they are individuals, well they have a team behind them, our players. Our manager needs that aura of invincibility and if they fall short pick up and go again but dont consider defeat whilst its in our hands.
Should win. Will win. 3-0

Games like these always have and always will give me squeaky bum time we know we should win, the form says we should win, the bookies say we should win, but my bum always squeaks with games like today. My whole body says 3-0 home win move on to Monday afternoon at Newport but this is Bolton we are talking about and our past records against struggling teams enough said. 3 points onwards & upwards stay safe one & all COYWM

Just to warn you all.....i have purchased a match pass. So far this season when i have done so, we have always lost and I have not even seen us score! My apologies in advance if I am a curse.

Too slow and ponderous.
Afolayan much too deep.
Gnahoua showing why he is usually on the subs bench.
Caught in possession too often.
Need to speed everything up.

What an absolute load of shite this is, yet again all backwards and sideways. So slow and ponderous and Gnahoua showing what he should only be used as an impact sub. Has Delfouneso actually contributed anything yet and Santos distribution today has been appalling. This is probably the worst team we’ve played this year and we’re treating them like bloody Real Madrid. Get Maddison on because at least he wants to go forward and run at players, none of this lot have so far. I can see us losing this with them scoring near the end otherwise it looks like 0-0 because we’re just awful.

What a sleepy compote of nothingness. No impetus, no tempo, no urgency.
We should win but we are not quite right. Lee is a bit too far forward. Gnahoua apart from once is insubstantial.
I keep wanting to move my subbuteo Doyle back into the penalty area but, in the absence of Delfouneso, he keeps moving out of position
A test for Evert. He needs to inject some vim. John must move forward. Maybe a wing switch . Maybe this is the game at last for Maddison
We need d to get more in the box
We need good substitutions. We could easily get three but the longer this goes on....
We miss Sarcevic in games like this

Wondering what Ghanoua did last week at Forest Green for him to get a place.
Hope we play more on the left next half and sharpen it up in the final 3rd.
This is a quintessential Evatt performance so far. He must be delighted. Asking to be sucker punched, miles better and time we got a scoreline to reflect our quality.

72% possession mostly spent in our half prime example we have a free kick halfway inside there half so what do we do not put it into the box no we play it back to Santos who in turn sends it back to Baptist and the move breaks down. Colchester have won 1 game away all season we must try to get the ball in there penalty box more often frustrating is how I would describe the first half 0 - 0 we need more urgency second half COYWM

As a team, I think we need to be 10 yards farther upfield - just too deep.
We rarely get more than 1 man in the box.
