OK then - no, he wouldn't have.

They might not have been better, but they were replaced. McGoldrick was not replaced till Lambert (4 games into the season?). Surman was not replaced until Hammond (round about the same?). Etc etc.

So you're saying Boothroyd could have taken the team that started against, say, Hearts in pre-season and give us 7 wins and 7 draws in 14 games at least?

To be fair....he didn't. They may have lost their best players, but they were replaced well before the season started. This is the same Colchester that beat Norwich 7-1 on the opening day of the season.

If he doesn't, then I assume this means Lambert is sh*t and we should get rid?

Paul Lambert did not leave them with a sh*t squad though.

By my reckoning Lambert not only has 13 goals so far this season, but 9 assists as well.

There is a difference between Pardews "impact" and Boothroyds "impact". Pardew didn't have a league game for about 2 weeks and by then the hype around him signing had died down. Boothroyd had a game within days of joining Colchester, so the "new manager syndrome" was in effect for him.

Agreed, the only thing he lacks IMO is pace.

Show starts at 3.55, goes on until half past. I finish work at 4 today so will be sprinting home...

F*ck it, I might put a bet on us winning the cup. COYR!

I'd much rather have Ward.

With a pair that big? Doubt it.

Extended highlights meant those cheerleaders. I have to say I enjoyed the bounce on them.

I just get some food before and after from the burger vans or KFC.

You big bunch of rebels, you.

That is exactly it though - how can someone be DISAPPOINTED after winning?

Who gave the penalty away? Not fussed about the performance of the defence to be honest, Perry isn't even third choice and Murty has just come back from injury.

Oh f*ck off ref.

Thank you very much

You've already been proven wrong with your pathetic "only got 4 songs" argument.

True. However there isn't a problem with our support.

No it's not.

Away support sounded sh*t today, only ever heard OWTS and it never lasted very long.

F*ck sake.
