Yes this a problem for Robbie … a big problem. We needed an Ian Holloway type. Just to steady the ship and get the players playing ( if he would take it )
I think we can establish now that the tone with the DC and NC is set…. Just set out for a draw so we can talk crap after the game about how hard we thought and how good the other team was… if we stay up will just be pot luck 2 worse teams are kicking about.
In an ideal world you would like a younger manager with a bit of footballing nouse and just say this is a project. You’re stage one… run with it and see how far we go.
The club was in a pickle before the chuckle brothers took over so this isn’t something that you can pin down to them. They’re just not good enough to solve it or change it. On the face of things this should be well within their grasp.
Has it come a point where the club has a re structure ethos and mind sets change and what ever comes of it ( relegation or promotion so be it )
Is it now a case knock it down and rebuild on your own terms before someone else sends the bulldozers in. |

To be fair to DC he can’t really say I’m a clueless creep that has to lick ass to the fans to keep a job as I have no more idea than a under 15 Saturday kids football coach… it’s going to be the ref or injures….
We don’t even have a system or pattern of play or identity. So 1/2 blokes being injured is rubbish. |

The chuckle brothers can’t read a game, hence why so many ducked up subs at funny times… wrong players being pulled off at wrong times…. They’re finished the race is run. Let’s hope Robbie is hunting for a young manager that wants to play a bit of football…
The brothers heart may be in the rite place but they’re shocking. They don’t make the players any better. Their job is to coach players to make them better…. Robbie takes a lot of flack but it’s time the chuckle brothers took it….
We can’t win a game and it’s dull as dishwater… but long as the bothers praise the fans and clap them before and after the game what more do we want? |

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. |

Reply | Is the new pitch still smaller?
at 22:30 18 Sep 2024
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… |
