Colchester build-up thread!

[RobM]

if teams come to put 10 men behind the ball and frustrate you have to try and to score so they come out of their shell. It seems to me that our inablility to put the ball in the net has cost us time and again.

We have been caught on the sucker punch time and again

 

NA said in a couple of interviews that he has been watching the DVD's of all our previous games so far, so I'd hope this problem would be blindingly obvious to him.

 

I'm actually quite confident about today, I fancy us for a decent win

[BARCELONASAINT]

Probably the wrong attitude but hey the team cant be bothered and i work hard for my money...guess what i cant be bothered today either. Obviously hope they win but i won't hold my breath, i'm out enjoying the sun with my lad and i wont even think about Saints until about 5pm.

Sad because i have remained patient and supportive of what was happening at Saints but my patience and more importantly my cash have run out!!

[SO16_Saint]

Barny to start

[Smirking_Saint]

Team V Colch: Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Seaborne, Harding. Chamberlain, Schneiderlin, Hammond ©, Puncheon. Barnard, Lambert

 

On the bench today are Bart, Jaidi, Dickson, Holmes, Pulis, Doble and Guly

 

Is Martin still injured ?

[lethallee]

I'd go with:

 

Davis

 

Butterfield fonte martin harding

 

Puncheon Guly Morgan Dickson

 

Lambert Barnard

[RobM]

Interested to see how Seaborne and Fonte do together. And if that lineup is translates to position on the field exactly, Punch and Chamberlain on the wings seems a decent attempt at introducing some pace. It's about the only chance we have of getting any pace there!

[Window Cleaner]

Barny to start

 

lets hope he puts one away early on then, as we're sure to dominate that first 45 minutes as per usual. It is absolutely imperative that we score during our dominant period, changes everything.If we score within say 25 minutes we'll probably win by 4 or 5, same as at Bristol Rovers.

Pulis on the bench

Pulis on the bench

 

Can't believe there were 3 posts before yours that DIDN'T comment on it! lol

[latter day saint]

Pulis on the bench

F*ck off !! your joking surely ?

[SO16_Saint]

I know I said I wouldn't be listening or taking an interest today, but quelle surprise come match day I can't stay away!!

[Smirking_Saint]

Pulis on the bench

 

OMG i just noticed that to, never did when i posted it from Twitter lol

[SO16_Saint]

F*ck off !! your joking surely ?

 

Throw the lad a frickin bone. The new gaffer obviously thinks he's worth a punt so who knows?

[Minty]

Indeed. I know it's been a bit of joke since his arrival, but how many people have actually seen him play? You never know, Adkins may get something out of him.

[patred44]

Martin out Pulis in... is that a ******* joke

[Minty]

Martin out Pulis in... is that a ******* joke

 

Can't see a punchline myself.

[patred44]

not only an insult to Martin, but an insult to us fans..

Who picked that bench Pulis snr. ?

 

I can see another Ali Dia moment again

[latter day saint]

hasn't Martin got a back injury?

[patred44]

he was supposed to be fit

[Window Cleaner]

Mills injured then or has Adkins given up on him already?

[Arizona]

he was supposed to be fit

 

Well obviously he isn't.

[Gator]

where's Connolly?

[thorpie the sinner]

To be fair pat, the OS says Seaborne continues in Martins absence! back obviously playing him still, like mine lol!!!! Golf will be tricky tomorrow!!

[DrunkenSaint]

hmm thinking of this formation, something different

 

-----------------bart-------------------

 

Butterfield --Fonte--Seabourne---Harding

 

-----Hammond ---Morgan-----Dickson/Holmes

 

-----------------Gully------------------

 

-----------Lambert----Barnard----------

[saint lard]

Oh ffs.....perhaps i should change my prediction.

[The Majestic Channon]

Bench looks fine to me except pulis. Some good options and maybe doble deserves a chance with senior players not doing it.

 

First 11 is good enough if they hit any form anyway.

 

So how many times have you seen him play?

[thorpie the sinner]

Even more convinced about 5-1 now lol!!

[Liquidshokk]

I like Adkins already, he just spent the last 10 mins out signing things for fans and having a chat with them. Nice touch. I think fans should be able to get closer to manager and team....

[Smirking_Saint]

I dunno, Adkins has dropped Wotton and put Pulis on the bench, for me this highlights the lack of depth in the midfield area.

 

Lets face it, Pulis must be more mobile than Wotton who when brought on we might as well be playing with 9 men.

FFS!!! he should be in the dressing room sorting the players out ! Blah,Blah,Blah

[Leicestersaint]

Who thinks we'll lose??

[dubai_phil]

If having Pulis on the bench is the answer, perhaps we are asking the wrong question.

 

 

 

I hope he doesn't come on. I could lose my record of being one of very few TSW'ites who have seen him play at SMS

[dubai_phil]

And of course, if he DOES come on, I hope he scores a 40 yard screamer

[Um Bongo]

I think he'll score the winner.

[Arizona]

Over to the match thread please.
