  • Defense misjudged the offside trap and we concede a corner from the right. Matthews hoofs the ball into the Covered End and the ref blows for half time.

    CBT looks a good outlet and dangerous down that right. With DJ struggling the last couple games and Leko being deployed more centrally, we could really do with having CBT back in the team. 

    Think Henry has shown some promise, good range of passing and done pretty well to pressure the ball despite usually being more of a sitting player. Burstow has taken up some good positions, think he still lacks the physicality and the instant first touch for things to consistently come off for him, but he's only 18 and there's definitely promise there.

    Iniss has looked good in the air. Matthews continues to look quite solid at RCB, where he looked very strong before getting hurt. Just good for the back three to get minutes at this point. 

    Kirk has shown some moments of trickery and technical quality. You can see it in little flashes from him. But he's not a natural 10 and the way he likes to play on the left cutting in doesn't work in our current setup. I hope he is able to adjust to being a 10 as we could definitely use cover there, but it remains to be seen. 
  • Very much a game against MK Dons that. Them with loads of the ball and occasionally moving it very well, and occasionally not moving it very well.


  • Sutton 1-0 Colchester
  • Charlie Kirk's best game for us. He's been okay
  • Just realised Souare is an anagram of arouse. I must be bored.

    He’s been alright, at least he never tries to hide and is looking to make things happen. Maybe a nice little goal or assist might help him with his confidence a bit - would like to see him take on some players some more.

  • Argh Leko should have done better. 

    Best chance of the half
    He. Is. not. a. striker.
  • Feel a little sorry for Kirk, he's made some great runs and Souare either plays sideways or backwards. Kirk defo has the skill to play in this League but also needs to have a proper overlapping full-back as well as a full-back who wants to play him in down the line. Lets hope JJ can get Papa to look to use that out ball in the 2nd half.
  • Its been alright from us... its two "B" Teams effectively playing each other

    Defence has done alright, although Souare has potentially gotten out of jail with that penalty

    Keep forgetting that he's playing, he's been that anonymous

    Been impressed though with Henry | Burstow and Kirk tonight, the latter hasn't been anything special, but he's done better than what we've seen previously. Ironically it comes against the team he got his debut against.

    Should still be able to kick the ball into the bloody net, no?
  • Should be safe from Covid with that crowd
  • This match has penalty shoot out written all over it...
  • Not a classic but still fairly enjoyable. 

    One piece of a great acceleration from Burstow which laid on a great chance for Leko just further proof this boy could be something special.

    And oh yes. Our name is clearly on the cup this year after Souare's push wasn't given as a penalty! Absolutely blatant penalty. 
  • That's more MKD fans than I was expecting
  • Argh Leko should have done better. 

    Best chance of the half
    He. Is. not. a. striker.
    To be fair, he's not being played as a striker here. It's a weird sort of 5-2-2-1.

    He's not a defender either though, should still have done a lot better with that chance.

    Would not disagree, but the big but is why we bought a player that is so needy in order to produce anything worthwhile. A player needs to be dangerous in his own right up front.

    Innis is looking the fittest I have ever seen him. Watson running the show to be fair.
  • This match has penalty shoot out written all over it...
    Should be a rule that says turgid games should end in a penalty shootout, fans dont deserve a boring 0-0... Watch some prick like Leko or Kirk stick the ball in the net off the referee's arse come the 94th minute and so deny us the excitement

    Stretching the concept of anagrams also gets you:

    o, u arse
  • "we interrupt playing Thomas's album to bring you some football"
  • Second half underway.
  • Nice interception by Watson but he then gives the ball away. Inniss and Soare combine to get it back to Harness who clears.
  • Shame Henry's ball to Kirk was slightly under hit, could have been away. 

    Whose idea was it to play Irving in the first place? ;) 
  • Bit of a tussle between MK23 and CBT midway in their half and we concede a free kick.
