League Two u.s v rovers

[bigmart]

Northampton lead as do Port Vale v Sutton

 

[bigmart]

Very ose from them, lob just goes wide

 

[Ian]

Very close to giving away a pen there. We need more pressure on their defence.

 

[bigmart]

Pretty poor again so far

 

[Boz]

Colchester probably should have been given a penalty.looked to me like contact from Macdonald inside the area. Evening up for the Newport one. Defensively we’re looking a bit patchy so far and only glimpses in attack.

 

[ALDO MUSSY]

why are we so shit away from home it's getting annoying

 

[bigmart]

Exeter now lead though Mansfield losing

 

[ADD]

Not great now after good start. Colchester better. Why is Hemmings being played out wide? Nevitt is getting caught offside.

 

[Ian]

Can't string two passes together in their half. Need to do better. I'm sure we'll have a great second half though

 

[bigmart]

We've actually forced the keeper into a save at last through Nevitt

 

[Ian]

Ohhh, needed more composure from Nevitt there. His shot was saved by George in goal, he got to the rebound and blasted it across the goal. He had two players free in the box.

 

[bigmart]

Pretty poor half, we need step it up second half just for a change

 

[Sparky]

Despite the league positions of both sides it’s a fairly even half. The hosts lobbed a good chance wide over Murphy and had a good shout for a penalty not given. The longer the half went on we started to create some chances with Nevitt and Hemmings forcing decent saves from George.
Hawkes has practically been a spectator. Not a bad half but we still need more attacking threat against let’s face it, a poor Colchester side

 

[Boz]

I thought we improved towards the end of the half with efforts from Nevitt and Hemmings. As Sparky mentions Hawkes quiet and Macdonald doing very little attacking so the left hand side suppressed. The referee, possible penalty rejection aside doesn’t seem to be giving us much. Could go either way.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Agree re the peno. It was inside the area. But we have had other decisions go against us.

We improved in the last quarter. We need a goal to settle the nerves. Merrie has been the lynchpin and is playing confidently. I think we could win this if we play like we did just before half-time. We are giving it everything but the moves aren’t coming off.

 

[Ian]

Ohh, Nevitt with a screamer. Goerge tips it wide.

 

[Boz]

Colchester getting a lot of possession in dangerous areas

 

[Ian]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Ian]

daylight robbery

 

[Outoftowner]

Yes - robbery - we deserved a point as a minimum !
