Too little, too late. bit ****ed off with the first half from us, sounded totally half hearted and you know that if you start games like that, you very rarely get anything out of them. I still think we've got a long way to go in terms of quality in certain positions, we've got some good individuals...but the depth isn't there and i don't really think Jaidi has a solid partner...that should be priority for january IMO.

they don't have a ****e team. HTH.

come on alps, you've been quite reasonable with your posts lately - we are a top 6 side, but the -10 is the reason we are not in it. Our form over the last few months is play off form, we've slipped up today but the 2nd half has been much better. We've got january to go into now and we'll be much stronger at the end of it IMO.

scorers....1-2.... 5mins added on

woo a penalty, probably too late though tbf

call the game off!!!!!

our defense sounds ****

shot from rickie, great save by their GK not our day, time to plan for Huddersfield.

they've won it 2-0 oh welll, flash backs to the early parts of the season at the moment.

lambert hits it - ball parried, but then put out. we are completely battering them, fantastic 2nd half.

WAIGOO.. offside ffs

great claim bart

free kick right on the edge of the area for colchester

sounds like a different team this half, much better

Antonio really has the beating of their full back, he just doesn't seem to know what to do after he's got past him...

Brentford 1- 0 Charlton charlton to drift away in the 2nd half of the season IMO.

Sounds like one of our worst away displays of the season so far, nothing from us at all - all the efforts coming from colchester. i'd be inclined to stick Papa on, in place of one of the 3 CM's - so we can go for 2 up top.

first corner to us...we have life!

should be 2-0, we're not there today sounds painfull

1-0 colchester it's been coming tbf, they've been the much better side.

4-5-1 it is Saints: Bialkowski, Thomas, Trotman, Jaidi, Harding, James, Schneiderlin, Hammond, Antonio, Lallana, Lambert. Subs: Davis, Perry, Wotton, Gobern, Holmes, Papa Waigo, Connolly. Mills must have really upset Pard's then, replaced by Holmes on the bench...

Papa for me, a better all-round footballer. Antonio at the moment is more of an impact sub (i'd keep him for the season for that reason), but he's not quite ready to be a regular starter.

IMO the team will be - Bart James - Jaidi - Perry - Harding Antonio - Hammond - Morgan - Mills Papa - Lambert Subs - Davis, Goborn, Thomas, Mellis, Patterson, Wotton, Connolly Lallana has a dead leg - if we were playing on Tuesday/Wednesday then he'd still be 50/50 , he hasn't got enough recovery time unfortunately. He'll be out for sure imo. the left side is still an issue if Lallana is missing though, i've put Mills in there as he's the obvious option...

Was rested, and makes complete sense too. Colchester ahve a big powerful forward and it makes sense or him to be fresh for that game. Perry and Trotman were always going to be good enough to do a job y/day hope it pays off tomorrow!

He's won plenty of MOTM polls before, he just seemed a little quiet yesterday thats all ...but he still managed to hit the bar with a 20 yarder!
