Colchester v Aston Villa Match Thread

We were nicely controlling the game until they scored. It's not all doom and gloom yet.

No we usually do that in the second half.

[Tuscans]

Well a decent first 25 and then went a bit wank. I know the conditions aren't great and it's a different starting 11 but conditions are the same for a side 2 divisions below us who are missing players and conceded 6 at the weekend.

6? They lost 3-1.

[kieron]

well lose this were shit at the back

We still are.

[cdbearsfan]

Happy to be winning. We haven't been great but it's hard to tell just how bad the conditions are, I think.

After recent seasons I don't expect to hammer them. Just get the job done, please.

They lost 3-1 but the point still stands, we look utter wank again.

[cdbearsfan]

In fairness, they lost three-one to a side that have since beaten Preston.

When you put it that way... yeah.

Stop exaggerating. They only conceded 3 at the weekend. To Accrington Stanley (exactly)

[PeterWithesShin]

Bollocks, the 3 is below the 6 and I forgot to add Accrington Stanley (who are they). Apart from that though it was an ace post!

[mrfuse]

We never seem to be in control of a game regardless of the opposition.

[Clark W Griswold]

O Hare very good, Samba very shit, Green pretty shit, Bjarnasson a mix of quite good and very shit, Onomah quite good, Steer and Hogan did their job. Others ok, weather making it tricky, not convinced we'll still win.

[AV5nobs]

Of course it was.

[Goldie.7]

Hogan's work rate has been excellent. Hourihane on the other hand has been poor, you never see him on the ball.

[CJ]

Good job we usually play better in the second half...oh

[PeterWithesShin]

I blame the weather for them having 10 attempts to our 4!

Edit: Beeb have it as 14-4

Agree with all that👍
