Like most I wanted to see the match on, but after 15 mins or so began to doubt the merit of playing through puddles. As said above it did not suit our fast passing game - not orient who also played not booted the ball. So no winners all round. Felt sorry for the groundstaff trying to mop up the main stand side with the mobile squeejee's, mission impossible!.
Worse still we picked up a cople of injuries to two players who were handling the conditions better than some in Adams and Kennedy. Hope they are not too serious.

ERROR IN MY VIEW ABOVE. Of course it was Josh thompson who was injused after 15 mins.

Scrappy game, will take a point from it still unbeaten in 2011. Thought O'Grady looked jaded, Dickinson still to ignite?? Think its time to admit that Thompson is just not good enough, need to start with 11 men not 10 !!!!! Goodall had another excellent performance but for Lillis excellent save in 2nd half he would of been man of match.

Great game. Forest looked bright and positive. McGugan was not his normal self but Moussi was brilliat all game, Savage couldnt touch him. Tyson was also excellent.

On the dervy side, Commons, Savage, Leacock and moxey were all poor

Enough is enough! Derby are a disgace! How will the Directors talk their way put of this result. If Nigel does not have any good players to add to the team at this stage then he has not done the job he was emplyed to do

Gareth Owen getting sent off was a big turning point, but apart from Justin Richards hitting the post we really didn't trouble their keeper at all. Yet another defeat.

Well I still haven't seen Colchester win at the Galpharm but they came mighty close today.

A point was fully deserved but we could have had more.
Kayode Odejayi was within a whisker on two occasions of scorin g the winner and looked strong and certainly worth a start at the Withdean on Tuesday.

As you would expect Huddersfield were under pressure to atone for the debacle at Brunton Park in the JPT and were fiirng on all cylinders early doors. Colchester's defence were more than equal to the threat and although Williams had saves to make they failed to put the U's under sustained pressure.

Ben Coker in only his second game looks assured and shows a confidence in his play that has already made Tierney redundant.

Heath and Rio are forming a strong partnership and Lee Beevers (Mr versatile) performed very well and once he begun to tire made way for John White.

In midfield, Andy Bond didn't have one of his strongest days but could have scored in the first half. David Perkins was once again a terrier (no pun intended) and won many duels that he had no right to win.

Ashley Vincent unfortunately tires but shows that hsi pace can unsettle defences.

Mooney works tirelessly and covers every blade of grass (on what was a heavy pitch) but is lacking confidence at present having failed to score recently.

Woody was in and out of the game and didn't get the chance to take any trademark freekicks.

The captain is struggling at present and I would like to see Lloyd James play in his place from the start.

The Colchester faithful were largely quiet today as the Pink Link stand reverberated to the Huddersfield faithful who were noisy for 80 minutes out of the 90.

Prat of the day - Huddersfield Town manager who did his best to imitate Mancini of Man City complete with scarf - he never achieved it and his constant moaning and berating players and officials was tiresome in the extreme.

Disappointment - the league table never lies except when we have played three games less than many of our rivals. When the 46 games have been played we will comfortably be in one of the top six positions.

Now we want Wilson and O'Toole back and fit and quick.

Up the U's

Another poor showing, this time in a typical local derby. We seemed to have no plan other than to either hump the ball up to Porter (who is clearly not up for the job) or rely on a lucky bounce in one of Bueno's dribbles. Several players were well off the pace and the side is crying out for investment from the Yanks, not just lower league players and loan signings. I know confidence is low at the moment, not only with the players, but also with the crowd many of whom arrived expecting a wupping. There are three poorer teams than us in this league so I do not forsee relegation as a problem, but I do not think there will be any improvement in our league position come May. I fear there will then be a mass exodus of season ticket holders for next year. Whilst I do not have much faith in Nigel and his coaching staff, to replace him would use up a lot of cash (which, unexplainedly, we appear to have none of) and I cannot see a replacement out there who is realistically going to come to a club. I believe the answer is 100% down to the yanks to abandon whatever their plan is and start injecting some cash in for decent players. Ben Davies, especially in the circumstances, was our only player to come out with credit for us, whilst the defence in general was not too bad against a pacy forward line.
