***Colchester United Matchday Thread***

240 Reds fans at Col U, it ends 2-2; Ludwig a liability. No one stood out except I give MOM to Nadz again for a good performance. It was a game with little cohesion but we came away with a point and remain outside the drop zone so relatively 'happy'.

It was an okay performance, we played well in patches, but some of the defending out there was poor though we dug in and came away with a point which helps us move away from the relegation zone. Fellows was poor and Ludwig looks clumsy at times plus I don’t rate Tsroulla as a defender as somewhat error prone. Nadesan had another good game though and looked a threat, the goals he’s scored in the last two games have obviously given him a massive boost. Still lots to improve on, but we are a few places outside the relegation zone though which is good.

It was a good evening at a nice football stadium, there was a good Crawley crowd, although noisy at times, not as noisy as I've seen before at other "local" matches.

Much better sitting along the side of the pitch this time, as opposed to behind the goal last season.

A four goal match, that's 19 goals I've seen in the last 4 matches , certainly entertaining football !

NOLI CEDERE

Yes, Francilette does seem very hesitant at times and is sometimes caught out while deciding what to do. I do think he has it in him to improve

Agreed, he’s improved technically on the ball rapidly since being at the club. With experience he’ll improve it’s a shame he’s struggled with injuries so far.

There's not much point in beating the better sides like Mansfield Town (as I don't think they'll be fighting relegation this year) and then rolling over against the Teams that are around us in the lower echelons of League2.

Yes, we didn't lose and we claimed a solitary point, but i would think that it was two points lost.

If you snooze, you lose !!
