Official Match Thread Colchester United v Southend United - Papa John’s EFL Trophy

Video started working after about quarter of an hour, just after they had scored their first. There seems to be a continual problem with the start of games concerning ifollow.

But they can pass though. A lot of our squad has played at a higher level.

The manager is trying to implement some kind of possession game. We can't keep the ball.

Defensively without the ball we are a shambles. The shape and closing is criminal at any level. The workrate is dire.

Attacking we have literally no idea and even when we get near to goal there is a reluctance to even shoot.

You play to your strengths and weaknesses and MM is not doing either. That is very much on him and his team.

He has to go.

THANK YOU. Now 16 games without a win so what do the MM defenders do? Claim that the manager doesn't have to train them passing drills cause they should just do it themselves.

I don't know what it is going to take for people to realise MM is not the guy. 20 games without a win? 25..? When has a manager, ever, gone 16 games without a win and kept his job?

It's not just the results, it is the way we play, before our first goal at Borehamwood we had gone 650 minutes without a goal from open play. That's outrageous. But yet MM goes unscathed.

If the manager recognises that passing is not his players strong point then perhaps the tatics should reflect that - MM either cannot see the weakness or chooses to ignore it

An unnecessary flighted cross field pass to Clifford which immediately put him under pressure.... then he just let Brown go beyond him whilst sticking his arm up claiming off side. Play to the whistle!

Well I agree with the unnecessary bit- he assumed he was capable of controlling a floated pass straight to him, what he should do is hoof it 50 yards down the pitch as it now seems dangerous to assume anyone you pass to can control the ball or retain possession, and if they don't it will be your fault :-)
