Point would be a good result, 7 points in 6 days is excellent.
BUT! I really want to beat them after they robbed us at GP.

I’m just hoping the manager doesn’t think a point will be a good result and sets out to get one. It seldom works for us. I agree fitness/fatigue is likely to be a major problem.

I just hope we stick with the more positive formation of 4-4-2.
I understand some players may need to be rotated but Cox needs to work the players coming into the team into that formation and not overthink it and go to a 4-5-1 or 5-4-1

He’s got the use of five subs and it’s possible to rotate Beestin/Spence/Karacan and Eisa/Green/Hippolyte.
If he manages his team properly it’s do-able.

4 4 2 for me or if the use this 4 4 1 1 make sure the 2 ‘1’ ‘s operate close together.
Set up to play OUR game and go for the 3 points.

I am with Cass and Sanfran on this, I know that it will not happen, but Cox must go for three points tonight, we are playing a team that has not won a game in their last EIGHT matches, so why must some of our fans say that a draw will be a good result.
Three games in a week should be fine for professional players, and surely the manager and coaches have eased right back on training sessions, and it will be the same for both teams who have both played the 3 matches this week, I hope that young Loft is not left up front by himself, he cannot be expected to run his arse off like he had to during that second half on Tuesday, put him up front with another player, possibl a youngster who has been playing well in the under 23s, or Green could be a good move.

Our track record against teams in a bad run isn’t good, surely it will end one day, we deserved to beat them at home so let’s hope Neil doesn’t go back to non working systems, though we didn’t concede against Vale we certainly didn’t have a shot at goal when we went into defence mode, and against Barrow we waited until we went behind.

We have big squad so smart rotation is key.
We’ve got a big squad, we haven’t got a good squad. We’ve got a good team plus a few.
Beestin is the only one I’d want to see starting who didn’t on Tuesday. Brown if O’Malley is struggling but he’s just had a rest.
We’ve got 8 days off after tonight so weekend off and good recovery.
Loft is the only one who looked like he needs a rest but we have no one else who can do what he does.1 user thanked author for this post.
This guy and the expert whoever it is are good. Not a fan at all of the guy who took over for the last 20 mins of the first half.

Another great 3 points…another awful 2nd half to watch.

Great result though, great goal from Beestin.

Onaraise excellent again.Did not think we could win without Keracan playing most of the game.Hope he’s not injured for long

I’m sure there will be criticism from some with certain aspects of our game tonight but for me 3 wins, 6 goals ,3 clean sheets and 9 points in 7 days is worthy of 👏👏👏 well done guys, really well done.

Outstanding. Manny is absolutely unbelievable at the back.

Ref was singularly mediocre second half; first half had me reaching for the swearwords. (Not something which is all that common.) I gave him a 3 overall.
Great defensive performance and Howard showing good GK skills.
Sadly, all the wonderful hard graft on the other parts of the pitch was cancelled out by some truly dreadful retention of the ball. Can’t blame the pitch for that – they kept the ball far better than we did.
We deserved to score one goal – which we did.
They deserved to score zilch which they did.
3 points to us? – Fair result.1 user thanked author for this post.
Well done guys, you played to win and sure got there, so 9 points in seven days has given us some reward for sticking with them.
The ref was pathetic and gave Colchester ererything he possibly could, and what he didn’t give them the two shite linesmen did.
I think that all Scunny players played very well, except Green who gave the ball away nearly every time he got it, so my ratings for the lads are:-
HOWARD—-7—-Did well and is looking a bit more safe.
brown–6—keeps getting booked and no need for it.
TAFT—6—Has added strength to the defence since he came..
ONARIASE—10—He was brilliant again, and played as perfect game as possible.
ROWE—8—Played very well and should be picked every match.
GILLIED—8—Again had a very good game.
GREEN—5—Lost or gave the ball away too many times.
BEESTIN—8—Again a very good match from him, controlled the link up well.
KARACAN.—6—Started the game well.
EISA—7—Abit hot and cold, but must play more often and get game time.
LOFT—7—Again never stopped working and is getting better each game.REF–4—Bloody terrible, very much a home ref and gave them everything, his linesmen were just as bloody bad.
COX—7—Got most things right, but still insist on defending a one goal lead, but credit to him for 9 points this week, I myself suggested bringing Green into the team tonight, but he was terrible and was rightly subbed.
Keep it going guys, you are doing well right now.

Great result. Not a great performance but good enough.
Massive credit for 9 points in 6 days.Awful pitch and as said by a few already worse ref.
Everyone put a shift in but Manny was excellent.
Really hope Karacan isn’t badly injured.
Can’t wait to add Kev into this side.

Happy to pretty much agree with you BS! You missed out Spence who also played well when he came on. Onariase was worth more than 10. It has been good to see them all working hard and playing as a team. Let’s hope we can build on a more reliable defence and attack a bit more in the next couple of games.
Ref was shocking, didn’t allow any tackles. I thought he was going to give a couple of penalties and there was nothing wrong with the tackle before Eisa “scored”.
