Bizzare Colchester manager comment

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

I thought Colchester did a good job first half, if they had nicked a goal it would have been very difficult for us.

What I did see is that Gus is a genious, he recognised that teams will figure out our passing game - so he gets in Wood and gives us the more direct option.

(PS I stand corrected on my opinion of wood)

I'm confident there would've still been applause if we had gone in 0-0, as towards the end of the 1st half we were really pushing for a goal.

I told you it would be 0-0

Gus has a Plan B as CliveWalker and HKFC et al suggest. Tippy Tappy if we want, long ball for Wood/Murray to knock down if we prefer. Colchester held on and eventually - inevitably - caved. Superb.

Why is it that after EVERY game, someone posts a thread complaining about the opposition manager's comments. He was clearly referring to the old adage about keeping it tight early on to quieten the crowd. Gus talks about the same thing regularly

Trouble is this is very all very similar to the time we won back to back Championships and the 2nd time - once we were ahead in the league all the teams coming to Withdean either slung five across the back or tried to intimidate us into losing, which suit me fine as we coped really with both scenarios.

Although we were 1 up at half time, Gus did change things second half putting Bennett out wide on the left wing and making a 4-3-3 formation which really stretched them for 20 minutes, then he brought in Noone to do the same job. By the end I was almost feeling sorry for their right back.

Exactly. Wood hitting the post, Murray had a chance, Bennett's free kick that just went wide and then Wood going on a MAZY run and then deciding to smah his shot into the sky

He's a Kiwi. Thinks he's an All Black.

Bit of a random comment that yeah
