Really makes a difference having a player with a bit of pace who runs beyond defenders. Makes our punts forward a bit more threatening.

Still struggling a bit to hold onto the ball but low possession football works better when you press with some energy and defend solidly.

This looks a lot more like a 'proper away performance' than we have had recently.

Fair play to CO'D, also defended fairly well. After they won a backpost header he had a massive block on a shot that could have easily been on its way in!

Kinda hoping its a 4-2-3-1. Flat 4 has the potential of being completely overrun, and we haven't looked much like scoring with 2 up top so worth sacrificing a striker IMO.

Not affordable or practical for the majority.  I did look at getting a bus to work (it’s a 30-60 minute drive depending on the time I travel) to do it on the bus I’m looking at 3.5 hours each way, who is going to do that!

Yep I'm the same. With fuel prices going up I would love to take public transport but my 45 minute drive turns into 2hrs+ and thats when everything is on time!

Need some serious investment in public transport and incentives for electric vehicles (not that i could use one not having a driveway, **** poor people right?)

Didn’t realise that Cole Skuse now played for Colchester. God he’s 35 now. Only seemed yesterday he was making his debut for us.

Barely recognised him! Proper grey barnet now

We looked like we might have remembered how to pass the ball before the goal, now back to normal 

State of the officiating here. Free kick was about 10yds too far forward. Blatant handball from them in our box

let’s hope this isn’t correct 

I think i can say with some confidence that this is bollox

Glad Massengo is back in but would love to have seen Scott keep his place. Guess we aren't expecting to have the ball on the deck much.

Does he think the markers are to scale?!

Quality finish from Tanner!

The ball comes at him at speed, a lot of players would sky that but the placement with the side of his foot was spot on

Edit: credit where its due. Szmodics first is a cracking strike

Really good 1st half, got in behind a few times & linked well with Pring.

Didn't do anything second half before being taken off.

Was a bit worried when he gave it away cheaply 10s into the game, but perked up quickly.

Polar opposite of the Millwall game, responded really well after going behind!

Well that was ******* inevitable

You should not fall for that event. It's just another clever way of time wasting and delaying the restart of the match. Players are only allowed to leave the pitch during a match with the permission of the referee. Taking a corner, goal kick or throw in is not leaving the pitch.

 

I cannot emphasise how little I care about supposed "time-wasting" in a situation like this.

Far more important than football, this absolutely made the kids day.

Can’t get any fewer than 0 points. 

Unless you're Derby 

If league position is anything to go by we should batter 'em 

One great last ditch challenge.

Thought he was ok against some pretty tough opposition (was seriously surprised how good QPR were).

Didn't offer much going forwards though.

I actually love HNM!

Hell of a ball from Bakinson that

Doesn't have one. Just likes to be argumentative, and to be honest I'm surprised he's not mentioned Pearson doing a bad job on the original comment.

Could start an argument in an empty room!

No he couldn't 

Wait.... who said that?!

Massengo gonna score tonight I reckon. And if not, it’s coming soon for sure .

That effort against PNE was flippin quality.

Clearly has a shot on him and the atmosphere is going to be nuts when he does manage it!

Cliché I know, but if this had been scored by a top level player we would still be seeing it everywhere. Got to be one of the best goals ever.

Yup, could always be worse! I was raging about Stoke's 1st goal, but compared to that Ipswich goal we looked pretty competent!
