very poor performance from county ,lacklustre,feeble .
Players are going to HAVE to improve even putting some effort in .
It may only be league2 but they should be priviged to wear the shirt ,the wages may not be the best but it is much easier than working for a living as some players will find out.
We must give the owners a chance this is a marathon ,not a sprint and we are only 4 games into the season

Great win but it should have been more....AP to go (posted 29.08.10)

Lame match with two teams that were low on actual skill but high on endeavour. I cannot remember any passing move from either team consisting of more than three passes. This is due to the fact that neither of them were good enough to do this. Macc won due to a well struck goal from Vinni who nonchalantly clipped the ball past the keeper after being put through on the 42 minute. Morcombe missed a sitter in the second half with a free header at the far post being nodded onto the said post, an amazing bit of skill as it would of been easier to knock it in. The ball then bounced across the Macc goal to Morecombes lumbering "striker" Rundle how somehow put the ball wide from inside the six yard box. Again, an amazing bit of skill. Mr MacIlroy should explain to his team that the object is to ensure the ball goes between the uprights and the crossbar.

Total lack of cohesion and any form of leadership. Dreadful. To cap it all Football Genious Wilko at 0-2 takes off his only attacking threat and replaces him with a left back. Stunning.
Can't remember feeking so pissed off since relegation from the Championship. Take our time to pick a new manager ? - we can't afford to procrastinate with this rudderless ship

I've already posted some of this on the board, but overall an uninspiring match by and large, but that shouldn't detract from the actual performance of the U's, which perversely was really quite good across the board. Henderson and Izzet are the only players I've marked down, the former because he was largely absent from the game for long periods, and Izzy for no other reason than he nearly (should have) cost us the win with his wayward pass. Thank god Cousins stood tall driving Byfield further wide than he wanted to be to spare Kemi's blushes, because it would have tarnished what was otherwise another solid midfield performance from the Col U munchkins. Bond, Wilson and Mooney continue to demonstrate just why we've made the right decision in John Ward, Wilson's cross for the goal was simply perfect.

In the end, a hard-fought but definitely well-deserved 3pts for the U's.

As a final P.S. to the day, I was chatting with a elderly gentleman from Wolves on the train back from Bescot to New Street, who had returned to England for the first time after emigrating to Australia over 40 years ago. He agreed that it was the right result for the match, but also commended us (and Walsall) on the spirit that the match was played out in - very fair, not overly dirty or aggressive - all in all a pleasing day out at the football for the gentleman, who returns to Australia this week. The reason we started chatting in the first place? - well, just before leaving for Australia all those years ago, the last game of football he got to see - Walsall v Colchester at the old Fellows Park (must have been 25th Nov 1967 I reckon). When he knew his travel plans, and compared them with fixture lists, he knew he just had to make it the first (only actually) match when he got back as well.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Even in the first half, when it was more of an even contest, I knew we would get a result 'cos we'd made the better chances. 'Boro didn't create anything and Gorkks just battered Boyd out of the game. I can't see how Connolly can be dropped for Hall after that performance. Very impressed with Helgusson's work rate even at 3 -0 up. Crowd fantastic and I even thought the ref was pretty good. If I had to find something that I wasn't overly impressed with, and this is nit picking, it's Bradley Orr. His positional sense was not what it could have been and I thought he should have got forward a bit more.
We just might be at the start of a truly brilliant season.
