thought Colchester were a decent side, playing some decent football. 5 across the middle was always going to make it difficult for us.
Brian countered in the 1st hald by moving Roberts inside so that we had 3 against 3 in the middle of the park. Once he did that we seemed to pick up and finished the half the stonger team.
Second half was a bit of a non event.
both teams battled away and to be honest I thought Colchester looked the more likely to nick it in the end.
Brian "went for it" by going 4-3-3 with Davies Zola and Facey up front but I'd have kept Greenacre on and left Zola on the bench.
The kids on the Kop need to learn that booing while the sub runs on is not a good thing to do and won't have done Davies' confidence much good. I know they were booing the decision but that's not how it could have come across to the youngster.
Anyhow, overall verdict is we worked hard but it's just another game that shows that we simply aren't good enough. Many times during the game we looked like the away side, lumping long balls up to Facey with no link between midfield and attack. In fact we didnt have a link betweeen defence and midfield either.
