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

[camden shrimper]

MM has been given a knackered old transit to race in an F1 race, not his fault, but he hasn't thought to put any petrol in. Better analogies are available.....

Steve Tilson incoming...

Fagan/Tilly ?

 

[Streaky]

I think he is part of the problem actually

he is definitely not the answer

 

[old leigh shrimper]

If fans were still allowed in the Hall MM would be long gone by now.....
Nice enough bloke etc , but results speak for themselves.

 

[Maidstone Shrimper]

Totally agree mate, as much as it is a dead rubber, tonight for me is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Seems like a decent bloke probably with some good football ideas but we just can't keep going on like this.

Sadly he hasn't shown us his good ideas yet.

I actually thought same thing. Most affordable option

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Reading between the lines the players may or may not be up but the commentators are seeing the obvious, organisationally we are a total mess. That's down to who???

 

[Ricey]

Fagan/Tilly ?

Fagan wouldn’t want this! Tilson would take over right now.

 

[camden shrimper]

Imagine making your debut in this, poor guy

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

I'm sorry these players are not being coached. Made a million times worse by Glenn Pennyfather clear understanding everything that is wrong. Its the basics.

He went for the job ....

Runs on diesel, could be the issue

 

[MisterStubbs]

They can literally count on one hand how many goals they’ve scored past us tonight. Good job, losers.

 

[blueblueblue]

We seem to blame MM for everything just now, but a large chunk of the players have no passion, hunger, desire, pride and self esteem. What a gutless runt of players we have, in no way are there many professional players at our club, what a sorry state we are in !

But he's the manager, the buck stops with him.

I hope I'm wrong but Tilson's been out of the game for so long will he be able to turn things around in time?

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

I feel for MM. He's been dealt a really bad hand. Working under a transfer embargo and having no funds to buy players, even if he could (I would guess).

If he's having to pick the best youth team players for the First Team, what are the players he's had to play tonight ? Youth Team Reserves ? Plus a couple of 1st teamers to make up the numbers.

Honest answer, I think he would be, but I think we'd be playing a lot more dirty,blood and thunder, dirty even. No one on there backs should be good for morale, I'm starting to think it's needed here, tough love if you will.

Fagan wouldn’t want this! Tilson would take over right now.

Well he would need a very strong number 2 if that was the case. Coughlan is available and would be cheap.

Signed 8 players, Sol signed 0 and even he managed a couple of wins.

Non-starter ... spares or repairs

oh gawd...what a backwards step that would be!
