Prefer young Matheson TBH to Millen, I think he has more energy and is more of an asset
100 lines for you Iron-awe:-
I apologise unreservedly to Ross Millen for posting this
I apologise unreservedly to Ross Millen for posting thisI predict an almost every week performance.
Playing not badly, a few half chances, blocked shots, corners for us.
Then the opposition take advantage from a mistake by us (loose the second ball, a defender who let’s his man slip behind, losing possession in a dangerous place), and with our lack of scoring goals we cannot repair anything. Later, given away space while trying to attack, they will couterattack to a second and maybe a third goal…Blimey Dutch that’s sppoky! Did you buy a lottery ticket? With foresight like that you could win enough to buy the club!!

Well based on Matheson being a £1 million pound player I’d rate our squad at approaching the £100 million pound mark.

On the pitch 2-3 RBs, on the bench 2 LBs?????
Interesting how we line up, 4-2-3-1 maybe?Hill has undertaken the job of assembling what is akin to Dads Army, and I’m no time at all is expected to turn them into battle hardened bloody paras.
Two players over 30 – hardly Dad’s Army m’Lord!

I don’t rate Millen at all and I’m starting to worry about the lack of width when we attack.
I want wingers who hug the line, have chalk on their boots etc…
Stay wide and keep options available for the switch or counter!
Then it’s all about balls into the box, good quality balls for the front lads to attackThat doesn’t seem to be Hill’s way at the moment though SS24. He’s currently favouring the midfield diamond which could be because:-
We don’t have any wingers he trusts and
We haven’t had a forward that’s won a header in the opponents box for about 3 seasons.
(Just remembered one from Jarvis, sorry)What a terrible and difficult watch, thankfully a great result, well done lads!
For half an hour we looked as if the players had met for the first time during the warm up. Players had difficulty seeing the difference between white and claret & blue. Never seen such an inept display of passing EVER. I got the impression that Grant and Feeney were holding something back in order to last the 90 and not fade late on. Rory & Delaney outstanding, Millen & Manny pretty good (where did that free kick come from??) The rest really no better than average but faultless in their effort. We probably used up most of the luck we didn’t get in January. Same effort and same result on Saturday would be good, could we?Interesting? stats from the Oldham game.
Oldham possession 29%
Shots 13
Won 2-1Possession football – who needs it.
No good telling UTI99 facts like that MKI, in his world there’s nothing to complain about let alone protest against.

Hi all. Walsall fan here.
Our press and fans are suggesting Taylor might be sacked if we don’t beat you, with even a draw deemed not good enough.
Thoughts ?His job is almost certainly safe until Saturday evening.

As per my previous post on this thread, you don’t offer a reason why these supporters are stayaways.
Can’t just be a fear of catching Covid can it?Never answers any questions, especially those that weaken his already weak argument.
He just can’t see that any business consistently providing sub-standard product will lose customers. Don’t forget he only wants fans not customers.5 users thanked author for this post.

Hill admitted we tried to sign Agard and Zanzala. Both were transferred during the first couple of weeks of January and to clubs better placed than us and probably paying more.
It will be the EFL’s money used to repay the loan, the money that was borrowed initially, that’s how loans work.
And the player that scored them absent, have we ever put out a team with such little goal threat. Can any statto advise the total number of league goals scored by that team in the last 2 seasons?
Could not understand two substitution Sinclair who looked like the only player to cause Oldhams defence problems and Nuttall the best of the front two
Agree about Sinclair, the only thing I saw Nuttall do was miss a sitter. Pyke much the better for me.

I think, initially, we have to trust the manager on this. It’s very common for players to flourish under certain managers and underperform with others.
For example look at the difference in McAtee under Hurst and then Cox. Hill clearly thinks he can get more out of these players (players he knows) than others can. Hope he’s right!!4 users thanked author for this post.
Can we still move players out on loan to NL?
I am not a Colchester supporter but I know how long it takes for a new team to get used to playing together
Go on the thread ” Colchester fan on the league so far ” read it and have a laugh, I assure you it was nothing personal premier iron.
He’ll get it tomorrow if he goes to GP!!

You’re completely wrong about the game tomorrow.
Dad had one when I started driving – used to fill it up for a quid.

Likely to be 7 “Hillmen” starting on Saturday so should be OK.
I think this is a bit harsh on Hill. I’m pretty sure he knows the team and formation he’d like to play but if, say on Thursday, 3 players test positive for Covid he’s b*******. Some selections have been strange certainly but don’t forget KDT made the squad one week, doesn’t that suggest no alternative. It’s complicated by the fact that the club stated that Covid infected players would not be named which could explain “unexplained” absences.

So give that to Will Swann and the Acadamy GK coach to Mussy on his current salary. Sorted.
Isn’t he our top goalscorer? In fact, depending on the team sent out, he could be our only goalscorer.

Squad is at the limit though isn’t it?
Has he been at the SVS lately? Can’t see from where I am.
Didn’t see the word “contract” anywhere Sanfran.
Green was good enough and fast enough.
Only half right les!!
Can’t believe Pugh gets anywhere near the best 11.
” maybe Beestin when fit but i like Pugh’s box to box qualities)” when tranlated means runs around a lot with minimal effect.
Watson
Matheson Onariase Delaney Lewis (for now)
Grant
Feeney Beestin Sinclair (rotating throughout the match)
Burns Nuttall
Please bear in mind I have never seen Delaney or Nuttall play but I have seen the alternative in Delaneys case.
Bench looks a bit thin without O’Malley, Hackney & Bunn.2 users thanked author for this post.
