Thorn did capitalise on huge error from the chesterfield left back and 100% did all he could with the assist. He had a solid game….. I’d not say any Colchester player played excellent in the context of actual football terms.
Our expectations have dwindled so much as a club and fans… anyone with half a yard of pace and any fire in their belly we are calling good now. |

I think our version of football must be very different then.
We got the draw but you could hardly say it was even on football terms. We did not look comfortable or good by any stretch of the imagination. Again a points a point will help the cause. But if that the football we will playing then we should bring a pillow when watching. |

Good point we will take anything we can get our hands on!! But if that wasn’t national league level I’ll eat my hat. I mean we are inept at keeping the ball, our first touch is in a diff postcode most of the time, we have no build up play or pattern.
If that’s what 8 months of coaching looks like and multiple players that you’ve personally sourced I’d hang my head…
We did get dicked on.. but bottom line is we got the all important point. |

This is the past is 100% true… about the running of the club. But the chuckle brothers have been backed…. They can’t always control who is sold but they can who they buy… it’s league 2 pace energy and fitness will get you results… we buy a load of 30+ guys that have played for him before… he doesn’t reward a good performance from a player with more playing time. He takes players off that are running the game.
Guys a talker all that sparkles is not gold. Other clubs sell players… you’re reliant on the manager to Bring in other players…. RC has put his hand in his pocket for these mugs. Only mistake he made was to back the wrong manager. |

You need a footballing man In charge one the board back. Garner made more of an impression of phases of play and football set up than the pe teachers have in nearly a year…. The writing was on the wall early on for dc and nc. They have brung nothing to the club from day one … but lack of knowledge and excuses. They change the team every week. They make stupid subs. They take players in form and manage to take them out of form… Robbie has backed these guys too.
We don’t need a PE teacher obsessed with sill stats and laptops… just a guy that knows how to gel a team of 15 blokes, his strongest team and half an idea how to get the best out of them.. |

This is what happens you put a PE Teacher that talks Bullshit in charge… To rub salt into the wounds we had Garner who knew his football and RC never backed him…. We got 2 grade a clowns and he gone above and beyond. Has any other manager been allowed to make so many transfers / signings as the chuckle brothers…. This is on their laps….
I’ve been quiet about this as it’s just a matter of time and I sound like a broken record but boys this was easy to see how we finished last season. |

Smaller pitch would help up. We hardly try and play football. Will help our cause long term. Will stifle teams that can play football. Gives them a lot less space to pass and move. Also saves most of the old boys on our team running to much.
All in all we should end up with more draws… but points make prizes. |

This is something that really flabbergasts me his constant talking up of the opposition. He could make a hung over Sunday league team like a prime Barcelona. He has more facts and figures than an accountant doing a tax return. But we fail time and time again to do our job.
It’s league 2 football just concentrate on what we are doing. The rest will fall into place.
He doesn’t seem to have the rite train of thought. It’s all over the gaff. |

That would make sense it’s human nature if maybe you took guys from 1 or 2 years ago. They’re just taking guys from 7/8 years ago. Most of the stats also are on a downward trend. Nothing wrong with a few familiar faces that can help the team along the way with learning your system. I’m not against that. But just re fitting the whole squad with older guys that are clearly coming to the end, I don’t think shows progression or an upward curve the club should want to be on. Football is like life certain people gel with others… but these guys he has signed so far don’t seem to be dragging the others along infact the opposite the others seem to be dragging them down. |

He was on the last league 2 game on sky tv. Salford I think it was.
We seemed to of signed a lot of end of life players that played well for DC maybe a decade ago. I’d say these were what I’d call comfort blanket signings. When you run out of ideas you revert to type and what you know best. |

His ideal job would be football pundit… the guys breakdown of what happened and what went wrong is 1st class. Don’t get me wrong if you want a summary of the game listen to him. If you want to know how to put it rite then don’t even bother. May as well listen to the wife. |

He never had any intention of playing Wilkinson. We had hopper and big John upfront… at some point you would changed that up.
Most prob fell out with him.
Seems like Arthur could be on the cold shoulder path. |

He doesn’t ever admit we make the same mistakes week in week out. Month in month out…. As head coach isn’t that a reflection on him. You keep taking your car to the mechanics and everytime you leave within a week it broke down again… you would come to the conclusion your mechanic was rubbish and find another one.
Reverting back to buying old players that once played good for you is to mask his lack of knowledge. It’s safe to surround yourself with people you know. They need you as much as you need them.
He had long enough last season, to make an impact…. What do we do wait 5 years until he stumbles upon and system and decent players… |

I sit next to them week in week out they’re like the chuckle brothers. Honestly they don’t really watch what’s going on in the game…. They’re one of the worst we have had down there and had the most backing off the board… |

The writing was on the wall they had half a season last season and did nothing… forget the smoke blown up them because of the Lincoln run. Look at what happening with your eyes…. We are getting no better. We do not even know what our best 11 is. We never start the same team 2 weeks in a row. We do not even have a style or system of play good or bad….
I’m shocked it’s taken so many people so long to wake up and open their eyes. |

You could say this year he can still get a free hit, on finding an 11 and formation. But he is with them every day the clocks ticking on that.
But last season we never really could make head nor tail of it. Take this season out of it. Last season we never had an established starting 11 or squad.
His interviews point to the fact he is changing the teams on purpose. In his interviews he comes across more worried about the other team than us. If we just got our best players in the team and others on the bench week in week out we would have a better team unity.
I personally think he is a poor coach. That’s my opinion. But his stats are not doing him any favours.
This bunch of players I genuinely do think are half decent mid table.
I was a big Garner fan. I understand at times it went south. But we did see a system an identity. This season and last season under DC and NC I see none of that for better or worse….
I think we need to wake up and smell the coffee. The Danny / Nicky fan club have got to start talking some sense now.
Are they the worst managers … NO are they producing what we hoped FAR FROM IT. |

I’m 100% in agreement with you. That team is actually littered with talent. We are well underachieving. I was a massive garner fan, but I do understand at times we was on a hiding to nothing. But this just seems like we neither here nor there. They don’t seem to establish no patterns of play or starting 11. We seem to be none the wiser week in week out. We spend more of our time complimenting the other team than we do worrying about ourself. We could play 11 Sunday league players coming off hangovers and DC would come out and say we struggled as the half drunk Sunday league players posed us threats we don’t get week in week out. The smell of beer put us off. But time on the grass back at training we can fix it. |

We actually have a lot better players than most teams. When you look at our squad death compare to theirs…. We just do no attack enough. Far too negative. That match day squad should be winning games comfortable. Will be a more rubbish spoke “ not the result we wanted but we got a point against a top team that’s come up “
We will stay where we are unless we change our footballing outlook |

I just think we have to admit we are a win some loose some club. Yes we have some decent players but can they do it week in week out. League 2 is very very hard to find consistent performances ( if the players could they would be higher up the leagues ). No club is going to fear playing us. We have decent players and DC and NC are ok. There must be worse managers in the league than them but also a lot better….
How we finished last season I think just putting daylight between us and relegation is a big win… it was the same management duo that nearly got us related. So if they managed to stay away from that we have improved….
Only our fans have built DC / NC and our players into top 7 ( play off ) or league winners. No one else has. |
