    Very true, the irony of the season being cancelled after another lifeless derby day performance…….

    Cox said he has to work extra time just with him. All the expert summarisers says he has to do more Cox says he has to more – he doesn’t do more he is garbage.

    It is close between Hippolyte and Loft and Jarvis as the worst players ever to play for the club and there is some mighty competition in that

    O’Malley is a bizzare one – if Cox watched the first half and thought the answer was Jarvis and Loft (there is never a question where the answer is those two donkeys) then presumably he wanted to get crosses in the box. O’Malley I would say is the best crosser in the club but he left the non footballer on whose contribution was to dribble the ball out into touch

    Fairly certain he would’ve lost the competition to play with that shower yesterday…..

    Howard 5 getting more and more rooted to his line – more nervous probably worried about the defence
    Clarke 4 – 3 points for the goal otherwise very very poor
    Onariase 6 looking leggy and tired, not his fault
    Bedeau 5 a bit all over the place, scratchy performance
    Hippolyte 5 very poor positional sense when defending, better when being positive- actually tries to beat his man
    Gillead 4 not his game tonight, tries hard but no end product
    Spence 5 average game
    Beestin 5 again quite average – when tires looks very weak on the ball
    Eisa 6 needs to stop taking corners, redeemed himself with the cross for the goal
    McAtee 7 star man, got involved a lot more wanted to get on the ball
    Loft 3 poor once again

    Hallam 2 does very little
    Jarvis not a footballer, if playing for Sunday league then I’d give him a 3
    Cox 3 Still not his fault that we have too many players not suited to professional football but he has to alter his thinking. That game, result aside, was really bad. Couldn’t string 4 passes together, front line garbage and isolated.

    Howard 5 gets rooted to his line too much
    Rowe 5 slipped for the goal and could’ve been a bit tighter
    Onariase 8 solid as ever
    Bedeau 7 should’ve scored
    OMalley 7 decent
    Gillead 5 poor today
    Eisa 4 would be nice for the other Eisa to turn up
    Spence 6 gave the ball away for the goal
    Beestin 6.5 played OK
    McAtee 6 – thinks he’s better than he is – if he doesn’t learn when to pass for the benefit of the team nobody will buy him
    Loft 4 poor control, passing, awareness, link play. If it’s just about effort 7, but its not.

    Subs Green 4 ineffective, Jarvis 3 a target man who can’t win or direct headers – another one of Swann’s exciting prospects who is dog turd.
    Taylor 3 his shot sums up his time at the club

    Cox 4 half time talk worked wonders

    Cannot believe we had no shots on target, no shots on target!!!

    Against the worst team. This is diabolical it really is. No striking options – Loft not good enough consistently, Jarvis – just give up football please.
    Eisa looked garbage Gillead looked to be carrying a knock, Green ineffective.

    What did Cox say to them at half time for them to come out and not give a shit?

    Howard 6 nothing to do
    Clarke 6 looked leggy few good runs imagine will be rested for next match
    McGahey 6 worrying injury
    Onoraise 8 solid as ever
    OMalley 8 hell of a left foot. Sorts out his positional defending and we’ll sell him for £1m
    Beestin 7 tidy enough
    Spence 7 tidy enough
    Taylor 4 offered very little and did not play well at all
    Jarvis 3 not a very good footballer. Bad first half anonymous second
    Gillead 8 good runs tried hard to push the team on
    Green 6 had his marker booked in first half then did nothing after that, decent shot but overall disappointing.

    Loft 8 played well and was at the heart of everything
    Eisa 4 doesn’t look great at home games for some reason
    Rowe 6 steady
    Bedeau 7 played well

    Jarvis is garbage – really poor version of Loft – cannot hold play up link play up, gets out muscled and offered nothing up front. KVV or maybe McAtee on it would’ve been a different story. Soft goal to concede but entertaining game uo to about 60 minutes then we just fizzled out

    If not tired then same team 4-4-2 maybe swap out Clarke for Rowe and rest Eisa for Green. Hopefully KVV can get a few minutes into his legs.

    Will be a tough game Colchester are a good side.

    He was saved from a disparate minority intent on causing trouble. He got separated from his disparate group intent on causing trouble. You will always get these types. That shouldn’t detract from a peaceful sign of solidarity these players choose to do. The amount of ‘fans’ triggered by this just shows there is still a long way to go. Believing these players are supporting some marxist conspiracy is nonsense and kind of self defeating.

    Just search ‘Casey Goodson’ and see what they are taking the knee for.

    Lewis Hamilton is either a well paid tax dodger or he takes the knee in support of a marxist movement??? I think this is the point of BLM – other drivers took the knee but lets focus on Hamilton – I wonder why??

    Those against the BLM movement point to some chav trying to burn the flag but miss the gym instructor risking his own safety to save one of those far right dicks.

    Who would you get rid of? I think Swann has to change his ridiculous strategy of no contract talks because half the squad are out of contract very soon.

    I would look to call Bedeau’s agents bluff and see if these offers exist. Use the money to bring in two more

    Vincent Cordner need to go back, Hornshaw out on loan – not good enough for first team yet. Hippolyte, Turan, Jarvis, Mooney, Dales, Olomola, these players don’t change the game for the better or offer anything different (and are poor cover).

    Howard 7 needs to come out more
    O Malley 7 solid good performance great cross – see what happens when you overlap!
    Onoraise 8 Never seems to get less than an 8!
    McGahey 8 Solid forming great partnership will Onoraise
    Clarke 7 steady match did well
    Spence 8 Good performance needed the rest
    Beestin 8 as above
    Eisa 9 very lively good finish constant threat
    Gillead 9 maybe 10 Great game MoM
    McAtee 8 game time starting to make a difference
    Loft 8 Not as isolated played well

    Harrogate were shit but not as shit as the local commentators

    Completely agree with OP. 4-4-2 just f***** works!!! Keep with it. Setting up to counter the opposition has not worked for us, the players look lost with these ridiculous formations/ inept changes. This is all at Swann’s door but the focus will soon be on Cox if he can’t manage properly.

    Let’s see what tonight brings

    I’m going with 4-5-1 with lost loft up front or the notorious 3-5-2 which becomes 5-3-2 within 3-4 minutes

    Ridiculous, 23 yr old with no experience of playing the game, gets employed by daddy as a chief scout of a professional football club. The club’s gone….

    The closest thing I can think of to this is George Weah’s nephew being signed by Sounness for Southampton

    Howard 6 Distribution needs work and should be more aggressive when crosses come in
    Brown 5 looked tired and off it
    Bedeau 4 poor game, far too loose in possession
    Onariase 7 solid again
    McGahey 7 as above – beggars belief we don’t play a back 4
    Gillead 8 when he got further forward always found space and made some wonderful passes but got pushed to RB too often purely because of stupid formation
    Beestin 5 looked tired and weak in possession
    Spence 5 few sloppy passes in midfield, over run completely. Had chance to set up Olomola but chose to shoot – which was nearer the corner flag than the goal
    Eisa 5 tried hard against experienced full back but seemed to be unsure about role in first half
    Green 7 thought he dis well and used his pace with effect
    Loft 5 still not good enough for league 2 but we are stuck with these group of Swanny shit strikers

    Cox 3 Changed a formation that worked well into something that offered no threat and got overran – couldn’t see what a blind man could see in first half.
    He needs to up his game more than any other.

    Chariman do have to hire and fire managers – usually as a function of results, not always; but very few chairman, if any, become so wrapped up in their own self importance as to undertake actions that destroy the very thing they hold stewardship over – I cannot recall any chairman deciding, with his closed shop family boardroom to pick and buy a whole squad of players without any footballing input. Maybe the odd player (as Rob mentioned) but 10-15 players – shit players at that – it goes beyond the pale. Now 3-5 of those players could develop if allowed to learn alongside experienced pro’s but not at this club. If we wait until January we’ll have sunk

    Cordner suspended thank god, should not be anywhere near the first team

    My team would be
    Howard
    Rowe Onariase Bedeau Brown
    Gillead Greene McAtee Spence
    Olomola KVV

    4-4-2 which could switch 4-3-3

    I’m guessing the manager wants a ‘big man’ so no doubt he’ll go with one of Swann’s starlets.

    If season starts now then they need to win, although I predict 3-0 win to Oldham

    listened to Swann and the take away’s were;
    COVID only affecting him
    the fans wanted it

    the bloke is on a different planet, the ego is taking us down.

    So much talk is complete drivel, complaining about the number of managers, still thinking the players he picked are anywhere near good enough. Pathetic
