Looks a lot better about as strong as we can put out,now if we can keep Redmond on the bench and Stephens then we should win this. COYR

Yet again Ralph gets outfoxed by the opposition manager! It is no surprise to me that we have the worst record in the league for losing points from winning positions although of course we were never in front today. Definition of insanity springs to mind! Beginning to lose patience with Ralph! | | |

Pathetic and an embarrassment. No excuses for that pitiful lack of performance. | | |

Ok sorry but that Sheffield United game was simply just a fluke result after what we saw today! I mean questions do need to start being asked as we’ve won 1, drawn 1 and lost the 10! Over our last 12 (which is practically a third of our season!) games! And yeah he got us to first for the first time ever, but in the end we lost 9-0 AGAIN! And have somehow ended up in a relegation scrap!?
I mean we didn’t play well whatsoever today and we’re now only 4 points ahead of Brighton! For me it’s all down to these next games as if we were to loose to a Bournemouth team that’s 5 points out of a championship playoff spot in the FA cup or can’t beat Burnley then that’s just too much! I mean nobody played that well, and hopefully it’s also shown to all those fans going on about Forster that the only reason he kept any clean sheets is simply because he has 8 shots to deal with in our 6 previous games, and should’ve saved that first goal for certain! Sheesh I’d loved to have seen Forster in goal for that Man City game! | | |

We looked a busted flush today. Whatever Ralph wanted them to do they either didn't understand it or we simply didn't have the personnel for it. The second half was abysmal. Brighton easily stifled us with a pack of blue shirts and then suddenly their most (only) creative player, Lallana, is left with the freedom of the park to create the winner. Anyone that can describe what Saints' strategy to get an equalizer was in that last half an hour deserves a big prize. For me it was bad back-pass or a JWP freekick. We created ONE chance in the whole of the second half.
We are a fragile, light-weight team and not one of our remaining 9 opponents will have any difficulty devising a strategy to beat us. Will be go down? It is now very possible. I still expect we will survive but there needs to be a lot of thinking in the summer about matching squad to tactics if Ralph is going to stay on. The record over the last couple of months is truly atrocious. We need to forget the excuses now and somehow get 5 more points. | | |

What a shambles we've become. 4 points in 12 games..4points!!
Everytime Brighton attacked they had space galore and our hapless defenders flapped and panicked.
I'm absolutely sick of this football club ruining yet another dull lockdown day with their weak insipid performances,. | | |

Either the Brighton players wanted it more today or Potter is a better Coach. Or both.

Blogs 31 bloggersLetters from Wiltshire #45 by wessex_exile Tonight, Colchester United face Southend United in what may not necessarily be the most important game of our respective histories (though it’s certainly very close), but is almost certainly the most important Essex derby ever. However this season pans out, by the end of it there’ll either be only one team in Essex, or worst case scenario, none at all. If the U’s win, then Southend will be 9pts behind with just three games to go, and a minimum of a -12 goal difference to overturn if they want to overtake us. Certainly mathematically possible, but that would rely on a remarkable turnaround in their form, form that they’ve shown precious little sign of achieving so far this season. The stalking horse is Grimsby, with their game in hand, who have rather belatedly shown an improvement in form, so their match against automatic promotion chasing Morecambe tonight is equally important, particularly if we want to avoid the unthinkable, with both Essex clubs dropping out of the league. Letters from Wiltshire #44 by wessex_exile So here we are, as the nation mourns the passing of His Royal Highness, Duke of Edinburgh, the U’s face the first of two season-defining moments, with our late kick-off match at home to Walsall. Before then, no doubt many will have been focused on events elsewhere, not least the early kick-offs for Grimsby (at home to promotion-chasing Bolton Wanderers), and particularly Essex rivals Southend United, who faced a tricky visit to Exeter City – still very much in the hunt for at least a play-off spot. As I finalise this blog, I know that Grimsby have beaten Bolton 2-1, and Southend earned a credible 0-0 draw in the West Country. More to the point, the U’s will know this too. Whilst I can’t help but feel that will ought to be to our advantage, it surely must also put additional pressure on a squad whose confidence is paper-thin. We must hope that Hayden Mullins, assisted by Paul Tisdale, get their heads right, and send the lads out this evening fired up with self-belief. Letters from Wiltshire #43 by wessex_exile Well, that has been a lively week for Colchester United in the press, and not least for Robbie Cowling, with not one, or two, but kind of three club announcements in rapid succession to try and put the record straight. First, we had Tribunalgate, which certainly looked very poor according to the initial press reports, but which on closer inspection when some of the ‘fact gaps’ were filled in wasn’t anywhere near the story that some would have us believe. Then of course we had the ‘leak’ that the U’s were about to go into administration, despite all the reassurances we’d been given in previous statements from Robbie. Not so said Robbie again, and particularly angry at what he believed to be the source of the story. Hence statement #3, repeating his assurances, but this time after passing through the lawyer filter to remove his thoughts on the source. To paraphrase Robbie’s conclusion to that statement, let’s hope we can all have a day off from this sort of media shenanigans and enjoy our game at Oldham tonight! Southampton Polls |
