Attack! Attack! Attack ffs Looking increasingly likely that our unbeaten run could come to an end if we’re not careful and against an unlikely source (not Colchester) Ourselves For being so negatively boring Or is this Evatt’s plan, to bore the living daylights out of the opposition so that they surrender. I know we are up there and a win today would be immense but fans in the ground today, on Good Friday, in the sun, wouldn’t put up with this COYWM let’s do it As Ped says Attack Attack Attack |

Couldn’t score in a brothel this lot. We started too slowly and have just gone slower and slower all the game, absolutely no urgency or desire to win today. We’ve said it for months now that we have absolutely no penetration which is why we’ve not scored regularly. Make no mistake, this was a poor team and we made them look better than they are. This result has just energised all the other teams at the top, knowing we’ve dropped points. This just illustrates that trying to “steal” games 1-0 all the time isn’t what promotion teams do. What did we really create today? Not a thing in the second half and the longer the game went on the more confidence we gave Colchester and to be honest, we could easily have lost, so maybe we need to be satisfied with a point.

Just poor throughout the team.
Gilkes/Santos/Baptiste must have spent 15 minutes of the game passing the ball between themselves.
The full backs rarely got forward.
Take away the first 20 minutes and midfield never controlled the game.
Afolayan much too deep - did he get in their box ever?
Gnahoua just not in it.
Forwards too scarce. No one got in the box

Everything we know to be weak. Too lethargic. No imagination. Very important to start strongly in this type of game and we were just too gumptionless. We are so poor on set pieces. You need them in games like this. Or you need a plan b with an aerial threat. We have neither.
Where was the passion.. Not sure Evatt could do much there. An end of season game. I thought Isgrove and Thomason might have offered something but then I did of Maddison.. But he didn't. One shot from Elbouzedi was as good as it was to get.
Gilks 7 Jones 6 Baptiste 8 Santos 7 Jones 7 Williams 7 Lee 6 Delfouneso 0 Doyle 5 Gnahouha 2 Dapo 3 Maddison 3 Elbouzedi 4 Miller 2

Shocking. Did someone tell anyone this was for a promotion place?
Pathetic. Well done to Baptiste, Gilks and Santos who all completed 1000 passes.
No doubt we "dominated" the play with all our possession. No ones conned by Evatts stats and stand by criticism being the more Evatt has to work with them in the week the worse they are on Saturday.
Ifollow making it out it was them parking the bus. Rubbish. Think they were better.
The defence and midfield are set in stone now, poor game from MJ, but there has been a real chance for any attacking player to get a regular spot and none are taking it. Delfouneso, Ghanhoa, Maddison, Isgrove, too poor. Again Doyle not doing enough.
Think I said i hope Evatt doesnt play his 2nd gear possession based football and thats exactly what he did.
Awful.

Evatt's had lucky results for some time in this undefeated run. Looks like the wheels may be falling off.

Ohh what a fantastic point that was you can see how we stopped Colchester from playing there free flowing football and how our defence stopped the mighty Colchester 1 win in now 23 games from scoring I really think Ian and his team really set themselves up not to get beaten so well done I bet Newport are shixxing themselves. I can't believe I gave up an afternoon with my niece and payed good money to watch that load of poo. Never mind onwards and upwards stay safe one and all COYWM

On a positive note, with Cheltenham hammering Trashmere, we are STILL in the promo spots
Only hope Evatt doesn’t come out saying Colchester had 11 men behind the ball and made it difficult for us. To be fair, they played their part as they had too and scrapped for survival. I’m hoping Evatt says “I’ve just come out of the changing rooms after giving the lads a right going over, especially the defence and Gilks for trying to play Pep football in their own 25 for 80% of the game”
Come on you WHITES⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
FGR and Morecambe losing after 23 mins- let’s hope that stays

I was fearful of a tight scrappy game but I didn’t think it would be that bad.
Take away the first 20/30 minutes and we just didn’t play.
We reverted back to the start of the season with Gilks to Santos to Baptiste to Santos to Baptiste etc etc. And so slow!!!
First 30 minutes, we did create. John free kick bounced on the bar, goal disallowed, keeper scrambled Doyle header away and a couple of spills from the keeper.
But then it died.
Second half, Colchester harassed us, won the ball often. We got caught in possession so many times!
Our passing quality sunk terribly in the 2nd half.
The 0-0 score was deserved for Colchester.
Marks:-
Gilks - 6 Not much to do but too much rolling it out slowly to Santos
Jones - 5 Rarely got forward
John - 6 Same as Jones – didn’t get forward enough
Santos - 6 Defensively OK but too slow with the sideways passing between him and Baptiste
Baptiste - 6 Same as Santos
Williams - 5 Some rank bad passing in the second half
Gnahoua - 4 Showed why he doesn’t start games - poor
Lee - 5 Could not dominate.
Delfouneso - 4 Hardly in it
Afolayan - 4 Much too deep. He hardly set foot in the Colchester area.
Doyle - 4 Hardly any touches
Maddison - 5 No influence
Miller - 5 Hardly seen
Elbouzedi - 6 A couple of decent runs and a good shot

I thought Dapo should have been taken off, as he was again well held, and Gnahoua moved to the midfield left spot behind Doyle as he does his best dribbling and shooting from there. Tis would have allowed for the introduction of Isgrove, who does get round the defence at times. Actually opposing managers have rumbled the fact that if they attack Santos and Baptiste in possession it delays their time on the ball, thus limiting their opportunities to make decent passes to colleagues running off the ball., Evatt will have to take a look at this, as the idea of drawing the opposition on to these two and creating space in midfield is certainly not working any more. Elbouzedi's speed down the right will do for me, though I expect a more defensive team on Monday with the re-introduction of Thomason, and maybe some good passing from him. I still can't see the maverick in Maddison's football.

It's so bloody frustrating when the other results went our way and we played the easiest game to play. Listen we haven't lost but it's 2 points well and truly dropped today we really can't afford to piss about like today again for our last 8 games but it's still in our hands & I wouldn't want it any other way onwards & upwards stay safe one & all COYWM
