Please tell us the names then ? and by the way if Holloway is what they picked then no wonder we're in trouble!
Harris Wakeling and Holloway. Like I said they were the best we could get that were willing to come. Who did you want and expect us to get ??
Our first choice striker at the start of the season is getting regular game time at a promotion chasing team. If there was no improvement on him we didn't need to farm him out. So saying nobody would come doesn't cut it.

Even a new manager can"t polish a turd the writing is now on the wall Oldham can score goals.stevenage can score goals we will never score enough to save us i"m afraid with the worst forward line in years and we had the chance in January to rectify this so who"s fault is it yep you guessed it our own !!!!! :evil:

Is Holloway related to PB. How he managed to stay on I'll never know. We are not good enough.

This isn’t true tbh, first month/6 weeks of the season we were fine especially when Gotts and Stevens joined.

Obviously I really hope we stay up but [SwearFilter] me this EFL lark just really hasn’t been very fun overall for 2 seasons has it?
You're right but I was discussing this with the one and only Mr PJ Daly, then the weather was nice and we played adventurous football then we got injuries and Cooper started panicking and we went defensive, then January recruitment and I said to him you learn about player's make up when the going gets tough and some of our main player's just haven't turned up , well now have the added problem of player's looking to move to other clubs it's a total disaster!

Luke James did more to hold the ball up in his 5 minutes than Holloway did the entire game. We’re desperate to get Brown back - Hutton can be dangerous going forward but my god he’s a terrible defender.

3 leagues in this Division. The top 10 the next 10 then the dross in the bottom 4 of which we are one. If Colchester had beat Stevenage today there would have been a 10 point gap between us and the team above. Absolute shite.

No we never.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Think previous certain starters need to be dropped.

I would start white, james and Gordon next game.

Where is Brough? (sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere)

Hutton has cost us many goals this season. Doesn’t track back, weak in the tackle.

He is guilty more than most hence why Cooper dropped him

Do a bit of digging, we could’ve got better but the man people still defend (Cooper) decided to go for Wakeling, Harris and Holloway.

I feel sorry for the owners, that joke of a previous “manager” has put us where we are now.

New manager bounce never happened. This team can’t score goals and they aren’t good enough- simple as that.

The warning signs were there and the chance to address the striker situation in January came and went. That is the reason we are where we are.
