| The two Browns to be the architects of a Super U's victory! 11:15 - Feb 27 with 2746 views | durham_exile |
A new start with the arrival of Wayne Brown, albeit on a temporary basis and with baggage that unfortunately has been raked over the coals in the past two days which has deflected attention from the playing squad.
Let us set that aside and concentrate on the issue, that of survival. Now all the modelling of what might be, and form tables is meaningless, it is solely down to what Colchester achieves over the final 17 games. Realistically we need 20 more points to survive for another season. What a sad indictment on what has been the most wretched of seasons.
Forget about the humiliation against Marine and the performance at Exeter, the game that really hurt was the embarrassment against Southend, when we were simply appalling.
Table:
20 Stevenage 31 34 -7
21 COL U 29 33 -8
22 Southend 30 27 -25
23 Barrow 28 26 -6
24 Grimsby 28 24 -25
Grim reading, but what do they say, the table never lies.
Anyway, it starts today a 17-game season and Wayne Brown as Caretaker Head Coach takes his charges to the New Lawn at 1730hrs to do battle against FGR who surprisingly lost to someone in midweek.
Forget about their green credentials, the coffee shirts, the recycled water, and the vegan burgers, it is all about three points for the Super U’s at the 14th time of asking.
Now Wayne Brown is starting with a clean slate and looking to bring some players back into the squad that SB had either fallen out with or ignored.
Gerken
George
Coulter
Welch-Hayes
Doherty
Smith
Sowunmi
Eastman
Clampin
Tchamadeu
Sayer
Wiredu
Lapslie
Senior
Pell
Harriott
Cowan-Hall
Chilvers
Poku
Stevenson
Marshall Miranda
Cracknell
Oteh
Brown
Folivi
Nouble
Bohui
Tovide
Wayne Brown is already familiar with the squad and will have his own ideas to reinvigorate the team.
Well let us see:
Gerken
Welch-Hayes Eastman Smith Doherty
Stevenson Lapslie Wiredu
Harriott Brown Nouble
Subs:
George Sowunmi Tchamadeu Cowan-Hall Poku Oteh Folivi
Regarding fitness the following are probably doubtful; Pell and Clampin
Paris Cowan-Hall has not been given a chance, yes injury has been his nemesis but that is equally true of Harry Pell.
What Brown will be looking for is a degree of continuity, we have played different formations, different teams and SB had his favourites much to my chagrin.
The press unhelpfully are already talking about a permanent replacement but let us give Brown the opportunity to initially get that first victory and then to build over the remaining games to get those 20 points.
Weather in Nailsworth will be 8 degrees at kick-off, dry after some late afternoon sunshine.
A day to get behind the team, a day to forget about the recent troubles and a day to be optimistic and look to the future.
14th time of asking can we do it yes, we can. Perhaps 2-1. A rare double in a season of disappointment.
Enjoy the game.
Do not forget KO at 1730hrs

Surely there can be NO reason now why we should not go to all out attack against 10 men. Nothing to lose. |
Trouble is, we are playing with only nine.
Harriott and Poku might as well not be on the pitch. |  | | |

Not match fit!
Take Doherty off we don't need any more than two at the back but we must bring two strikers on. | |

Cricket shite

We are relying on Grimsby and Barrow losing.
Very disappointing. | |

Can't Cowling see that internal Head Coach appointments are getting ever worse in quality and experience? Humes must resign. His signings have been appalling.
We don't look like scoring. | | | |

Grim times indeed. | |

I've never left a game early but this is a video nasty.
No fight no commitment no desire

Hayden Mullins alongside Wayne Brown.
I wonder if Ball is still at the club too.

We simply have no attacking intent in the final third.
No shots on target.
This game should have been after the watershed

To put things in to perspective, in the 16 games left this season we need another 17 goals and 10 points to match the totals of the side that got relegated in 1990. At the moment I don't see where they're coming from. |  | | |

3-0 FT
This is frighteningly bad
Good job they only had 10 men | |

Brown clearly has no idea about selection, players best positons, formations or tactics. This is the worst performance since we were thrashed by Exeter.
I don't propose to spend another £10 on away games until Cowling appoints a manager than knows what he is doing. | | | |

Gutless
I don't really know what to say after that
The same players were picked that have got us into this position, the same formation, 1 up despite them being down to 10 men.
I am looking forward to hearing the interview with WB. Will the same shit be spouted out of his mouth like when Ball spoke? | | | |
