#colu news and views from the fans for the fans.

Pinned

I think, unfortunately we might have seen the last of Craig Slater in a #colu shirt. Looked class last season but 5th choice CM this season?


McGreal acknowledged "Crewe changed it up to how they had been playing"... So why did we remain rigid? Game was calling for wingers and direct runners ala Senior, Wright and unused sub Shodipo. #colu


McGreals got caught focusing on statistics & opposition tactics instead of reacting to what's needed 'in-game'. We've lost that spontaneity and "caution to the wind approach". I'm happy for us to focus on stability throughout the season but not when we need 7/8 wins from 12 #colu


Would've preferred to see Senior & Drey on the wings In a 4-3-3... hey ho, onto the next one... now means 3 points even more important next week


Players have to answer for this today, but IMO McGreal set us up wrong. Didn't have the personell in key positions to play 3-4-1-2. wing-backs struggled, Jacko clearly injured and not Drey's position.


Seasons not over yet but it doesn't fill me with confidence that we've struggled to break this lot down today. Crewe aren't a good team but they took their one clear chance, created more than us and stifled our attack. #colu


Now looks like a 4-4-2


Are my eyes deceiving me or are we playing 4-3-3 with Eastman at RB, A 1 legged Jackson at LB, Dickenson at LW and Mandeville RW? #ColU


This has been a very poor performance. We've created so little against a side who've struggled all season. #ColU


Winnable game here, lacking incision from Drey, Jacko and 2 strikers. Dickenson and Mandeville to make the difference when brought on #colu


Senior taking 2/3 men out of the game every time he gets the ball. Mandron & Junior need to capitalise on that space. #ColU

Good WK, @ColU_Official debutants & scholars scoring in wins, capped with a trip to St George’s to watch one of our own represent his country ⚽️ #futuresbright

Pretty much a carbon copy of the Port Vale game... negative tactics, sitting back in the second half and not putting the game to bed! Another 2pts dropped, frustrated is an understatement #colu

Listening to this, McGreal says we have good support up front in Mandron, Guthrie, Junior and Mandeville... no Szmodics mentioned... that's a worry, id hate to see him drop into CAM again #colu

McGreal Happy With Deadline Day Deals: youtu.be/3yaH7E2uhsI?a via @YouTube

📝 Forest midfielder Arjanit Krasniqi has signed a professional contract with Colchester United. We wish him all the best as a pro!


4) Stevenson, played 28 times for Coventry in L1, signed for Wolves and loaned to #ColU.. combative, good ball work and most importantly... creative from deep!


Barnes, cover for Full/wing back. Played all Charlton's Checkatrade trophy games this season. Will be part of the Development squad #ColU


2) Shodipo, U23 Ireland international with 11 appearances in the Championship, 6 in league 1. Out and out winger accredited for his dribbling and crossing #ColU


1) Mandeville played 27 times for Doncaster scoring 10 in their L2 promotion season... Different player to Mandron, Guthrie, Szmodics.. and can finish win both feet #ColU


Deadline day done. Happy with the signings made. Certainly adds depth but more importantly adds new and different tools to McGreals kit #ColU
