You know the answer to your points Ferrite, we all do, one-man to blame and it’s not Keith Hill.

Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious, you may now leave.

That’s what happens BS when you comment on highlights instead of being there, you can’t be objective, Rory came off his line and caught a few crosses plus WG is spot on, the second half lack of fitness in the new players was apparent to all those attending and who understand the game. The new players will be ok but we are probably short of games left now for them to make a dramatic turnaround in our season but that is down to you know who. You don’t need seven minutes of highlights to agree with my last point I believe.

Always easier to be a little more objective the day after when our adrenalin levels are returning to normal. Both teams lacked quality but they deserved the win for there second half performance and those amazing travelling fans who were a proper twelfth man. It was fitness levels overall that did for the new guys in the second half but I was quite pleased at different times in the game how they all performed, wouldn’t say any of them look dire acquisitions and over time with games I think they will improve us but time unfortunately is what we haven’t got. Oh Mr Swann what have you done, on Mr Wharton where are you now.

Think the next 17 games are what counts not the past two seasons, what is done is done, keep going and supporting or keep going and keep moaning or stop going and keep moaning or just stop. Endless permutations, I’m going to keep going and just say it as it is as it happens, what happened with certain players 1,2,3 or whatever seasons back means nothing constructive now, what matters is the manager working with these current players he all knows from previous times and working hard NOW to get best out of them NOW,nothing else from years back is relevant and will probably be counter productive anyway. Concentrate on the last 17 games and then let’s see, personally I think we are done but looking back means nowt IMO.

Thought Nutall held it up pretty well and showed good strength first half, fitness went second half and was deservedly subbed. We all see players different, I thought Grant looked good particularly first half my mate in the opposite stand thought he was poor. I thought Millen was shite, passed it poorly, took a stupid quick free kick which was way too long and went to nobody but their keeper, my mate thought he did ok. I thought Beestin was still not fully fit and was booked as a result because he couldn’t catch their lad in midfield who was breaking through so fouled him, my mate thought he was our best player. We all see players in a different light plus the opposite stand see things we in the east stand don’t and visa versa. Either way we both agreed that we were shite second half and Oldham deservedly won with their second half performance plus their fans were outstanding for the whole game. Well done Oldham fans you backed your team from start to finish brilliantly but your still going down because like us your team isn’t good enough for league two.

Is seven straight defeats a club record?
Replicates the Brian Laws era run of defeats, I believe it was in 1997 in his first spell. Things will change round but probably not enough in time for this season. Such is life

I’ll settle for
Nuttall=this season’s Ivan Toney.

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.

Been to pick up my tickets for the next two home games this morning, training ground absolutely buzzing. Keith Hill overseeing a game shouting out ” pressure pressure work “, nice to hear and see. Put it this way, didn’t see any players standing still. Got a good feeling about Saturday’s game, tickets going well according to the girl in the office and Oldham very nearly sold out, should be a cracking atmosphere, get your arses down there and back the lads. UP THE IRON.

Likely to be 7 “Hillmen” starting on Saturday so should be OK.
My second car was a Hillman Minx circa 1965. Great motor with a 1725cc engine, went really well, ah old car nostalgia, we all love it really.

Beestin not fit and still struggling, Millen is like warm at best and certainly won’t replace the lad from Wolves unless injury or fatigue play a part ( like a couple of games back ) Jarvis been injured or late I believe and probably not fit though to start, Wood is a mystery but he’s the only exclusion I would have questioned. Think Hill has mixed and matched at times but with lack of quality, fitness, fatigue in younger players and injuries he’s probably been pulling his hair out TBF. Time to see what he’s made of now that he has players of his choice in the squad and has a better choice of options in different areas of the pitch. I just hope it doesn’t take the new players too long to gell with what we have left after the window.

How match fit will Pyke be?
Think Sgt Wilson and Captain Mannering kept him pretty busy on the Home Guard assault course.

If he thinks three are going down he has a final space between his ears that needs filling, with a brain.
