Exactly this, how many times did we actually look like scoring today, very fewWell when you are totally inadequate in the final third that’s what happens. Toothless
A couple of decent saves says it all.That is a devastating goal to concede late on. Overall we looked the better side but Colchester looked dangerous in our half towards the end so not totally surprising.
Actually I'd disagree about toothless, George made a couple of decent saves and a brilliant one from Nevitt.
Other results didn't go our way either and we face one of the form teams in Carlisle next.
Maybe toothless was a bit harsh but the likes of Exeter, Northampton etc would have been a couple of goals up before Colchester scoredThat is a devastating goal to concede late on.

Too negative from MickyI do wonder about our tactics. We’re away at one of the poorest sides in the league who have a terrible home record. First half Hemmings played on the right side often leaving Nevitt the only man in the box. Once again it just looked like we were set up to keep it tight and nick a goal instead of going for it
Players thought ball had gone out of play got played in to area, unstoppable shot to win it.Their winning goal was the only effort on target from the hosts. Did we switch off and give the lad too much room, could Murphy have done better with it? A draw would have moved us up the table negative tactics or no. It has been clear from recent away games that we cannot rely on the current defence to get us a result.
I meant put Jolley alongside Hemmings and mcpake on the left but either way it didn’t workSparky suggests putting McPake in the middle alongside Hemmings but.....only trouble is....Hemmings spent most of the match hiding out on the right wing...absolute waste of space.
Tactically again Micky got it badly wrong again, playing Hemmings out wide is a waste of time. There doesn't seem a great deal of logic to me in the change of players and formations just seems a case if hope for the bestI meant put Jolley alongside Hemmings and mcpake on the left but either way it didn’t work
Do you think Hemmings decided himself to play wide and deep? Most of us probably think it was idiotic tactics by MM to play our best striker out there whilst letting a novice play up front by himself....Sparky suggests putting McPake in the middle alongside Hemmings but.....only trouble is....Hemmings spent most of the match hiding out on the right wing...absolute waste of space.
