    And I've just realised Colchester are 22nd in League 2 and have only won one game all season in the league.

    Lord how bad must we be.
    It wasn’t even their first choice team. 
  • Saw this comment from Jac_52 on the scores thread

    Ness: 6 - 7 for the first half 5 for the second. He has shown he isn't a right back but is a very promising centre back. Would have been better to bring on Clayden and switch chin to the right instead of moving him out there for lavelle

    Which was a good point, as it was an obvious opportunity to move Chin onto his correct side, and have a left footer on the left. Chin was good, but did cut inside a lot
    And then bring Lavelle on for Thomas sometime in the second half before he ran out of legs.
    You should know better, lads ! 

    That's FAR too sensible !

    I was watching tv so missed what happened in the 2nd half (apart from letting in 2 late goals of course).

    Did we miss a pen ? If so, who took it & was it "missed"  or saved ?

    FT Colchester Utd 2 - Charlton 1.
    We'll carry on the postmatch from here.
    Do us all a favour, close and delete the thread and let us pretend none of this happened.
    well this fixture doesn't even appear on the BBC website
    It did in real time. They had all the fixtures, from Champions League through to the tin pot trophy

    We have a League 2 team. 

    Worst squad in years in terms of quality.  I actually feel sorry for the players as most of them graft but just are not good enough and Garner seems incapable of turning them into a winning team.

    Insist on a style of play, get a manager in to deliver it but don't fund or identify the players to deliver it and then switch the objectives to Operation Break Even whilst charging £32 a ticket.

    Clownery of the highest order.


    I'd rather watch kick and rush and win 1-0 every game if it got us out of this god forsaken quagmire of a league and cup competition.

    This high press style of play is yet another vanity project/ soundbite that sounds pukka but has no real substance when you have a transfer window like we've had and don't replace players like Washington.


    Utter shitshow this club at the moment.

    I don’t want to like this. But you’re not far wrong.

    Payne, saved but it wasn't a great pen.  Would probably still score it 7 out of 10 times though.

    No striker = no win. 

    Its not fucking rocket science.

    Well  we can't be expected to compete against moneybags sides like Cheltenham and Fleetwood...

    Thankfully we can now turn our attention back to the Tory Party which is marginally more of a s××tshow than Charlton-just

    Didn't watch the game (haven't seen one this year yet)

    Who was this Col guy in their team who seemed to be all over the pitch and caused us so much trouble?

    Sign him up.

    I can’t say I was glued to the stream but it seemed to be meandering to a 1-0, we missed the penalty and Colchester woke up, it was hardly the Alamo but we still managed to lose it. We struggle to score more than one goal per game whoever is out there, so few of our players know where the goal is irrespective of the position they play so it’s always going to be a struggle. Unfortunately a struggle is all I can see at the moment.

    Hmm wonder why he was without a contract ?

    Even less likely that any of these fringe players will get a start. Wallet open in January TS?? 
    Good grief imagine the moths flying around the Valley
  • If we want to be competitive in L2 next season we need to improve our squad.

    This was local to me these days so felt obliged to attend…..coasted the first half and flunked the second, not one player wanting to break into the starting XI.  Can you blame them with the state of affairs in the boardroom and on the pitch?

    What do you seriously expect of our 64 year old owner , he should have picked his son instead

    Quite incredible to have actually gone backwards from last season. 
    That takes some doing.
    Please say there’s a mega rich fan in the wings wanting to sort this mess.

    I see Twitter folks are suggesting Garner should be fired. This is our ressies in the Pizza Cup! Shows how mad we've been driven

    Loser mentality throughout the club. It's pathetic

     Chin played well again. Campbell looks like he could be a decent player. 



    Campbell will probably be needed to fill the rak Sakyi shaped void in our team when palace recall him in January.  Certainly looks promising

    Garners tactical changes weren't very clever tonight. 

    He takes Clare off at ht. Why not move Chin to his right side and bring on clayden? Instead he brings on lavelle and moves Ness to right back.

    One thing is for sure. Ness is not a right back.

    If he'd made the obvious change he could have then brought lavelle on later on and replaced a clearly tiring Thomas.

    He's not covering himself in glory at the moment that's for sure.

    We were winning until we brought one on...
  • We now have a way of playing and it’s good to see its being produced by the club from top to bottom , never score more than one and always let in a goal … consistent as well .

    Dear God I can't believe what I've just seen. In control the first half, 2nd half not good but under no real pressure, Payne penalty saved, missed the follow up and we concede 2 goals in last 6 minutes or so...this team can't kill a team off...and as usual we bloody concede. So glad that for some reason the live stream was free, I would've been so pissed off if I'd paid a tenner for that!
    The live stream was free……how come?
    Cost me a tenner an hour or so before kick off! 🤔🤔🤔
