So Olowu back on the bench in place of Faulkner and no Rowe yet
-
Faulkner on his way out on loan then maybe, a trip up to York, I believe they have a decent defender as manager there......
-
This Colchester fan doesn't sound to optimistic.
"At least 6 of that starting 11 shouldn’t even be in the squad.. yet we are starting them! #colu "

Come on Donny !!!! ⚽️

Fingers crossed the Rovers team with lots of energy turn up.

Late ko?

Five past and teams just out

Five past and teams just out
I think your feed must be late? Seems on time, in 6th minute
-
Colchester crowding the midfield, Rovers not really getting through that line.
-
An early booking for Kyle Hurst
-
Already got a bad feeling about this referee. Colchester have a clear plan to stop us playing through any means possible.
-
17 | Close for Rovers, with a well-worked corner routine off the training ground as Biggins side-foots on goal from 15 yards, with the ball deflected narrowly wide
0-0
COYR
-
Nice corner routine that.
-
Do we not get a Doncaster commentary team. Sounds like this is the local radio commentary.
-
Bit careless in midfield on 3 occasions so far
-
22 | So close. Luke Molyneux was released down the right, cut inside and went for goal with Luke Chambers sliding in to block and deflected the ball over the bar
0-0

I’ve had to go to the rovers website to get our commentary, on the EFL app I’ve got the Colchester commentary
COYR
-
29 | Not far away at all. Rovers push through the thirds at pace and George Miller collects the ball 25 yards out, turns and fires on goal with the effort deflecting just over the bar
0-0

100% he’s on commentary today

We’ve got 66%:34% possession so far. Come on Rovers!

They keep mentioning the pitch on commentary. What’s wrong with it, it looks great on tv?
-

Our best defender going out on loan is laughable
-
37 | Close. Luke Molyneux receives a throw in on the turn, pushes inside and strikes low from 25 yards, sending the ball just wide of the near post
0-0
COYR
-
It sounds like that first goal isnt far away?
-
Nice bit of play and Maxwell going close
-
It sounds like that first goal isnt far away?
Could be for either team though
-
39 | Wide. A great passage of play from Rovers ends as James Maxwell drills just wide of the far post from a tight angle. Some great passing and movement from Rovers in the build-up
0-0
COYR
-
40 | Not far away from Harrison Biggins as he strikes a bobbling ball just wide from a George Miller cutback. More good play from Rovers
0-0

Quality free kick, JM had no chance...
-
Got what we deserve so far today just not at it today so far , hopefully we pick up second half
-
For me Mitchell moves pretty late. He goes earlier then he saves that.
-
45+3 | Another chance for the hosts as Alan Judge fires on goal from the edge of the box but Jonathan Mitchell was well behind it
1-0
COYR
-
Mitchell looks like he went out last night the way he's played. Staggered across for that free kick. Good free kick but savable with non crap footwork
-
It’s so obvious what to do against us to be successful. Press our CB’s and you will create a lot of chances.
-
The free kick hits the inside of the post, an excellently executed free kick.
For all those who have given criticisms against Mitchell, you try & save that!
-
Everyone else around us in the table also losing.
-
It’s easy when you’ve no natural defensive midfield player.

Mitchell set the wall up where he wanted it so he really should have been covering the side of the goal where the ball went in.
-
Didn’t think the half was that bad, sucker punch at the end.
Thought the ref has been more on our side then theirs too.
-
We’ve been sloppy, and our Centre Backs shit themselves trying to play out
-

Rubbish. We’ve been a bit sloppy in midfield on occasion but we’re creating chances and could have been at least two goals ahead. It will come.
-
Plenty of possession but no end product. Need to move the ball quicker and be less precise. Get some crosses in , shots off. They will just try and close the space down and hit us on the break now. If we have to win ugly, just win.

Many thanks to the 389 #drfc supporters that have made the trip down to Colchester this afternoon to be part of a 3,607 crowd

I’m not going off stats I’m going off watching the game and it’s not been good enough

Hurst has been dreadful can't even take a corner today. Wrong man to come off

Hurst is having a very poor game so far

Opinions isn’t it. I thought we did okay in the first half and were the better side. Started slow this half though
-
Must be injured Molyneux, can’t think of any other reason than that to put Barlow on, been better Deidre coming on.

I agree Peebles, certainly don’t deserve to be losing, Colchester have come out to time waste this half. They’ve pressed us well but can they keep that up?
-
Don’t think Biggins is having a great game either
-
Rovers allowing Colchester to waste time away, they need to get into them and outpace them on the wings.
-
58 | First real sniff of the half from Rovers. A lovely ball into the box from Kyle Hurst, looking for Biggins, but it's headed out for a corner
1-0
COYR
-
2-0 game over
-
Oh dear. Looked like a foul though
-
Some strike that. Come on lads.
-
59 | What a strike from Samson Tovide to double the lead for the hosts. He collects a long ball forward and smashes a shot into the top corner
2-0
COYR
-
Did look like a foul in Hurst.
-
Hurst again, he needs taking off, it was never a foul - pass the ball lad
-
Ffs … foul there not given. And no way did the scorer intend that hit on goal. 2-0
-
This is shambolic
-
Never a foul, Hurst just having a complete shocker.
-
2-0 game over
FTS.. 2-0 with 30 mins to go is NEVER “game over”..
We might not get back into the game, but it is certainly not over.
-
No foul hurst just to soft as have all the team today just not the same desire or fight like there was last week
-
A reminder this is the worst team in the league. Oh dear.
-
Andersen and hurst were terrible then, off the corner Anderson jogged to get the ball and hurst just sane as ever tries harder to get a free kick than actually pass the ball
-
Why can we not get up for playing teams at the bottom?
-
We are lacking in ideas going forward, hesitant and inviting them on.

No it isn’t, both their goals would 9/10 end up in row z.
-
Get Mitchell off. Decent keeper stands and catches that
-
Christ almighty. Clayton ain't gonna be someone to get us forward
-
Keeper shouldn't be getting beaten on his near post even though it was a decent shot.
-
2-0 game over
Why? There’s still half an hour left! Think positive B R!
-
Obviously it would be great to get anything from this, but we haven’t had control of ball, every touch turns into a tackle, or bobbles away. It’s one of those days
-
Even the Colchester commentary have realised how crap Barlow is
-
Get Mitchell off. Decent keeper stands and catches that
I would agree with you but the alternative is Jones. No thanks.
-
Even the Colchester commentary have realised how crap Barlow is
Yep. "His first touch is awful" didn't mince his words
-
Even the Colchester commentary have realised how crap Barlow is
I thought his comment was spot on. Barlows first touch is dreadful.
-
Christ almighty. Clayton ain't gonna be someone to get us forward
Clayton has done 2 better passes since he came on than the rest of the team
-
Last time we see Barlow I think

I agree with IDM..... it's almost like you can't wait to point it out...
-
If they had gone to 2-0 after 85 mins or more then it’s fair to say game over, not after 60 mins.
And for the third time, I haven’t said anywhere we would get owt from the game.
-
However - it's 3:0 now...... so probably game over

Wtf

80 mins gone not 1 shot on target

No chance after 60 minutes? How about this stat and then see why I might say it. Get real. "80 mins gone not 1 shot on target"

Not good enough by a long long way, in fact its pathetic

We’re not going to win every game. Colchester have scored three goals that were excellent pieces of individual skill.
Any team on the day is capable of beating any other team. That’s football.
Yeah, we’ve been sloppy today, and the second half was poor… That needs to be addressed and I’m sure will be.
But…
I like what Danny Schofield is doing. He’s got a vision and on balance, the impact and improvement is happening steadily.
It’s a long season. I think we have a good man at the helm. Keep the faith.

Talk about goals change games, totally different performance after the first goal went in. Dreadful second half.
-
The manager has a bit of work to do after that. Really disappointing result. Good finishing by the opposition.
-
Still only 3 points off the play offs despite inconsistent performances these 19 games. Disappointing today but the season isn’t over.

“Ya boo I told you so” Get over yourself..
You know as well as anyone else that football is unpredictable and despite playing poorly, a bit of luck here and there for a goal and who knows what happens next.?
If you’re so good about predicting the immediate future, then what are tonight’s lottery numbers?
-
Colchester get their 3rd win of the season. Only 2 prior today, that's how poor they have been as a team. Yes 3 very well taken goals but we didn't even look a threat.
All this anyone can beat anyone nonsense. We should be controlling games like this quite comfortably if we have any aspirations of promotion. Colchester will be a team hovering round the bottom towards the end of this season
-

That was probably the aim for a dozen or so clubs - what you want to achieve and what you do achieve are often different..

Hartlepool bottom of the table in dreadful form when we played them....
.lost.
Colchester bottom of the table in dreadful form when we played them....lost.

Sadly squad not quite deep enough.
Barlow, Taylor, Clayton offer nothing.
Moved on at the end of the season

You are right. We should be used to not achieving anywhere close to what we should be achieving by now. It’s been a constant pattern for the past 3 seasons.
-
Well that was crap, didn’t expect to batter them today, but did expect us to be better than that. They’ve now got a couple of weeks off because of a previous crap display!
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
Again it’s the performance as well as the result that is worrying, they looked dangerous going forward yet we passed sideways and backwards and we’re so slow at attacking, for me play 4 at the back get Clayton back in the team for next match
-
The best team, Colchester, won that comfortably. They were much more energetic won every loose ball and ran hard at our defence constantly. I am so disappointed with Rovers today.
-
Well. Am I alone in thinking nothing has changed since schofield has come in.. yes, I know the players are the players and we need to wait in the hope of some loans in January.
But ..
I’m literally sat here watching as we are 3-0 down and we are playing tippy tap around the back five if you include Clayton. Also we are still doing them stupid goal kicks where Mitchell passes it to Anderson/Williams who then try’s to start dribbling the ball from defence which we can’t and never been able to do.
Rovers, defending is poor, Ben close, Hurst aren’t good enough, and playing Miller up front as a single striker had been all but limiting all season yet we still stick to the same predictable formation?
Even me the ever optimistic, is getting tired of watching the same poor football week in week out.
AND zero shots on target is telling!!!
-

I don’t think we will see Barlow again for a while.

-
I am confused by this no shots on target stat. At the end of the first half it was showing 2 shots on target and i am sure the commentator twice talked about keeper saves leading to corners?
Also BBC videoprinter has been crazy today. Russian hacking maybe :lol: :lol:
Not excusing the result or second half performance.
P.S. Who would trust BBC stats after they took away Knoyle's first assist last weekend :lol: :lol:
