Colchester 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

[qwertyell]

Big dog, by a nose. 

[Saint NL]

Lovely cross from Manning. Easy peasy

[coalman]

BBD has to be the unluckiest footballer ever. He goes off and we cross a lovely ball into the box.

[OttawaSaint]

😂 think that bounce surprised him and or hit his face and in. 

Don't think he know much about it.

[Saint_clark]

CYLE LARINS ON MY MIND!

 

60 goal season incoming.

[sockeye]

Thats what happens when you play an actual striker

Tonda should've gone in May. All those blinkered fans willnsoon see that he's not the answer and that his cheating was the reason for the decent run of form last season.

I reckon we'll be 5 games into the season with about 3 or 4 points. 

Other than Dobbin we've added nothing and we're about to lose Charles and probably Jander. Our defence is the same as last year and at times it looked awful.

 

We'll probably go out on penalties. 😂

Fuck off.

[Greedyfly]

Hopefully this will underline that we do need another striker. 

 

Get in Larin though.

[Saint86]

Larin's movement is so good, all the time. It's incessant. Honestly worth watching just him for a few minutes and appreciating it.

Superb cross by manning, but larin was watching that all the way.

Nappy looks a bit full there..best get that changed. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Even that one was a lucky bounce onto Cycle’s head…didn’t know what hit him!

[coalman]

Sky commentary "Bereton-Diaz is not really an out and out striker". Or out and out footballer for that matter.

[CSA96]

On: Azaz, Archer
Off: Dobbin, Scienza

[Lone ranger]

It’s always such a good idea to have a centre forward.

Looked like it just bounced up into his face and into the goal. They all count and the better the ball into the box, the luckier you tend to be.

Well, if you are right, at least we don't have to worry about the pending six month ban. Silver lining.

Woop. Love Cyle. Another top striker needed lads and we are away.

100%

[hypochondriac]

Dobbin not the best which is a bit of a shame. Was hoping he'd be electric. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Braggs already looking very assured - easily as good as Downes.

Don't think we've looked awful to be honest, just rusty and lacking some attacking presence which Larin gives us. I think colchester started well but we've been firmly the better team in the second half. A hard test away is exactly what we have needed before the start of the season.

[SNSUN]

Where's that Canadian dog?

seems like it's set up for the Brampton bagsman, the Canadian world cup hero and the only player we have who wears the arm wrappings like he's playing for Barcelona.

I think he gets a bit of slack given the time he’s been with the squad.

He's got to be looking at making a statement in midfield this season with Shea gone.

He won’t he’s like that real big turd in the loo that just refuses to flush. 

[obelisk]

Good run by Archer. Awful finish.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Bragg has looked very assured 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Archer holds the ball beautifully - then flops his shot horribly.

[obelisk]

Ref chickens out of a penalty.

[Saint NL]

Bragg is like playing two players 

[Lighthouse]

Thought that should’ve been a penalty on first viewing.

[OttawaSaint]

No pen?

Seen em given for less.

[obelisk]

Saints defence still looks leaky.

Not closing down properly - if I was Tonda I’d be going apoplectic!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Romeo A coming on for us. 2nd senior appearance. 

[OttawaSaint]

Why is Matsuki so tired?

Need to be much much fitter than this!

[Saint NL]

Romeo looks like a unit. Could be an asset

[Lighthouse]

Archer has looked lively since he came on.

[obelisk]

Dumb free kick to concede. Gives them a chance.

[Mr X]

BBD not to play any more games this season please 

[whelk]

Lovely finish

[CSA96]

Colchester 0-2 Saints
Akachukwu 90+2'

[Colinjb]

Lovely finish by the kid.

Great way to end the game.

[hypochondriac]

Blimey

[obelisk]

That is a cool finish. 2-0

[Mr X]

Yes 

[sockeye]

Where art thou Romeo!

 

[OttawaSaint]

That was exquisite!!!

Well done young lad!
