Gilbey off !! Straight RED!!

Colchester down to 10 men & Leonard could be injured

Col Utd playing flat 4-4-1. Dont think we need 5 at the back anymore. Maybe change to a 3-5-2

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Come on Southend :clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[Pubey]

H/T - scrappy apparently. Need to step it up but the bench doesn't provide much. Maybe Worrall or Wordsworth could be an option - shame we don't have Loza.

 

[mattitouk]

Half time.

Think Brown should change Thompson at HT, the last thing we need is him picking up another yellow and losing our 1 man advantage.

 

[Barling Magna]

Going to be challenging to overcome the Ewes now they've gone one man down. Could be a tense 1-0 win.......... (I hope).

Take Thompson off as already on a yellow. Bring on Worrall.

Yeah agree, Brown will change the formation, some wing play out wide would help too:happy:

 

[AndyT]

Yep, I like that idea.

Go 4-4-2 and then can push Worall and McQueen on a bit.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Take bolger or Thompson off and put someone else upfront

 

[mattitouk]

Other notes from HT

Burton currently doing us a favour by beating Bradford 1-0, if it remains the same, could take a bit of pressure of us when we meet soon, as what with their game in hand over us was a certain 6 pointer must win match when we meet.

Also, surprisingly Crewe are beating Rochdale 2-0, just to add to Colchester's relegation woes!! :smile:

Worse tackle I've seen in a long time. 2 footed in the air, jumped in studs up.
