Aside from the fact they were horrifying I thought that 2nd half was as good as anything I’ve seen this season. Fleck and Metcalfe are players I’m sure we are looking at and Mcfaz and Palmer are much better than anything else we’ve had this season.

Coco and Olakigbe showed flashes of what they can do, then quickly followed it up with flashes of why they probably will make their way down the leagues, though I do think their is a player somewhere in Olakigbe. Gordon our most consistent player this season and same again, would be my POTY

Regardless of how we end up, delighted we are still in it with 4 games left. Roll on Friday, they are are of 3/4 teams who are well and truly bottling it so there for the taking!

It was typically Colclough to put that one twenty rows back just after scoring. Shouldn't grumble though as it least it followed a goal.

Agree on Gordon. Thought he was excellent today.

I really thought you were learning whilst Will has been unavailable, but......true colours?

Him, Duffy and Olakigbe are all frustratingly the same, flashes of quality but no real consistency.
Olakigbe dances past people then falls over or makes a poor final ball/choice but feel like that part of his game could be coached. Not sure I am as convinced on Duffy and Coco, that said they have both been better this week than in recent weeks/months

[Westbars Spireite]

My initial impression of Duffy was that he was a younger and potentially better clone of Colclough but I'm not so sure now.

Metcalfe man of match today by a mile. Is developing into the player that we hoped he would be. Football is about partnerships, fleck plays well alongside him because Metcalfe does all the dirty work.

I agree he was superb today and getting better all the time. I wish we could get him but I doubt we can.

It's pleasing to see Jenson getting the recognition which he deserves. From day one, it was clear that he was a nice player. He's comfortable on the ball and wants to play football, he just needed the opportunity.

What I like about him is that when the opportunity allows, his natural instinct is to move the ball forward.

Good game today. Enjoyed it. Might be a bit of a long shot, but we are knocking on the door.

[TJ Blue]

Mcfadzean was excellent, he was giving instructions constantly, he says he’s only about 60% fit as well.

Well you are right about him being younger.

He has a few years of development before he gets to Colclough’s age.

I think the potential is there no it’s up to him and the coaches to bring it out.

I would also argue that there is plenty of time for the likes of Olikegbi, Metcalfe and Pepple to be developed too.

Walton, Gordon Brittas Cum on you Blues, your team took one hell of a beating today

Let's see what The Fishy Smelling ones do in their next 2 games, they're big banana skins for them, and Colchester's next 2 aren't easy either.

Too little too late. Playoffs was a minimum target.

He had control of the ball and passed it wide. Nowt to do with pace.

I thought we looked insecure too many times, so still work to be done. We were fortunate to keep a clean sheet but, hey ho, all the players who Walton said are rubbish put on a show.
