    First period of the first half – Colchester dominated
    Barnsley giving Colchester too much appreciation

    Into the second half and it was nip and tuck
    Then something happened on 28 minutes towards the end
    I don’t know what it was – it could have been a hand ball
    Suddenly the crowd get behind the team and the team springs into action
    I look at the clock on the big screen - 27 minutes 46 seconds to go

    Thoughts of the day...........
    We were lucky
    They had a few attempts that went close........very close
    Was Ritchie in the dug out ???
    Colgan, Kay and especially Hassell were good for Barnsley
    MOTM………Brown……....number 5.........Colchester
    Other than Brown we have better individual players all over the side
    But Colchester were the better team

    So the tinker man gets away with it again. Why when we were well in control, not struggling and looking well worth another goal, does somebody start making unescessary substitutions which almost resulted in throwing the game away in the last couple of minutes. All 3 subs used had an almighty struggle to get into the game which effectively had us playing the last few minutes with 8 men.

    nah nah nah

    we were the better side. The did some nice one touch triangles but almost everything for them was a high floated ball for owulewmuwhateverisnamewas to flick on. We had some close calls but Colgan did well. We also had plenty of chances.

    What let us down today was our final ball, pace of attacks slowing down from poor decisions and some sloppy passing. Couldnt believe what i was seeing when Austin simply smashed the ball into the stands when he meant to play a simple pass to shukes! What was all that about???

    I have to say our current form is fantastic and hopefully we are now on a roll. 3 points at AFCB would be massive! Fingers x'd Brentford lose to Donny on tue and Brentford and colchester lose their other games in hand.

    (H)

    Reminds me of the 96/97 run in against wolves! We got a run going and just didnt stop and wolves also blew it.

    RE: nah nah nah

    That's what i'm saying we were the better side so why try to **** it up by making substitutions that were not nescessary.

    Marc Richards
    Not his greatest fan
    But
    He puts himself about and we missed that up front today
    Honestley I couldn't see us scoring with the lads we had up front

    We also had more fans than them, so what. Everybody will rightly rave on about Colgan's miracle save at the death but was it Alford who missed a sitter after that. All so unnescessary if they hadn't tinkered with the team when it was well in command.

    Agreed on that one

    shows how good Richards is. But if we are beating a team who were 2nd in the league, with our strikers not looking like scoring, it can only be a good thing. Try and look at the positives.

    RE: nah nah nah

    In the past it's been easy to spoy when certain players have tired, but today in my opinion nobody looked tired.

    well

    Howard was on a booking
    - dont wnat him on a red.
    Shukes
    - Run his little legs of all day again
    - Good to give McPaland a run
    - Some fresh legs
    McPhrail
    - Add a defensive person in there to help shore up the ship

    Although i do agree to an extent it was risky but at least the defence wasnt changed around. That would have been suicide.

    RE: One word

    Every team makes substitutions, briniging on fresh legs and defensive minded players to see us through. dont understand why yo are complaining about subsitutions. Burns, Reid and Mcparaland are quality players to bring on.
