ANG does have no end product though and I am impressed by Walsh since his run-out vs Exeter.

ANG is our most recent scorer if you can remember back that far. But I take your point!

 

[Derbyshire Blue]

Haven’t felt these butterflies since the Sunderland game! COYB!

 

[shrimper-james]

I’m terrified. Not feeling good about this at all.... Please let me be wrong ??

Granted he did bag a goal, an important one at that. Although often I have been greatly disappointed at his ability to slow down a break-away

Even if we lose we can still stay up winning last three games 2-0 (or by two goals) and Colchester lose their remainder games 2-0 (or by two goals or more).

I’ve got loads of straws for you to clutch at somewhere around here!

Tbh I'm not that bothered by SIM, Ang etc missing out, they've all been tried and not made a significant difference, the problem obviously is that there replacements have also been tried!

Rush not made the bench? He's the only one that hasn't had a recent run out

 

[Chrisb]

And no Ang again

Get the impression he is not a 'team player'

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Rather see ANG upfront than Goodship. Well lets hope our Brandon is impressive tonight. If Phil has fallen out with Akinola, i dont think that its the right time for mind games at all, or teaching him a lesson, all that matters is Phil putting out his best team.
*clenches fist * "c'mon boys"

Certainly a brave move going into a must win fixture with a line-up whose 4 furthest forward players have, at nearly the end of April, between them scored two goals against league sides this season.

I find it hard to believe that there isn't room on the in a match day squad for ANG who's scored that many in his last 5 matches. No Akinola either, so of our 5 players under contract for next year only two can make the match day XVIII.

Obviously Phil Brown has done his research and knows that it is usually the least likely players who score v Col Ewe - Che Wilson, John White, Peter Johnson, Peter Daley etc.

What odds Mark Oxley first goalscorer?

ONE TEAM IN ESSEX

Even if ang was in the starting 11, that stat would read 4 goals, not much better is it?

Well twice as good but I take your point

Well its Sat line up with Goodship replacing Akinola. In theory with Holmes the only two proven goalscorers at the club- all be it Goodship has never suggested it in the EFL with us. On the other hand it looks like he is truly up front tonight and I would anticipate a meltdown on the touchline if he doesn't focus on getting in the box.

Be interesting to see how it works. PB can unfortunately only pick from the attacking options that the previous manager and Ron have left him with.

He had one chance on Saturday and never looked remotely like scoring.Hopefully he'll do better tonight.

8,000-1! Or about the same as the other Elvis coming back from the dead, and also scoring.

If Barrow loose we can still finish ahead of them by a point.

In Theory.
