    Really poor!!

    Might as well just play the previous interviews as it’s always the same old stuff churned out

    If this was 5 vs 0 you couldn’t argue against it… predictably blunt!!

    25 minutes in and this is horrible

    Target practice for Carlisle

    Cox needs to stop focusing on the opposition and let our better players off the leash in an attack formation

    Got home from work looking forward to this one but now I don’t think I’ll bother!

    That line up… wow

    Why oh why not go 4-4-2 and give loft and Olomola a go??
    If Olomola is fit enough for the bench surely he could start!

    Cox is the exact opposite of a manager who wants his team to play exciting and attacking football

    I’d love to be wrong and we go up there and get 3 or 4 goals but I just can’t see it

    The match finally lived up to what I was hoping for in the final 10 minutes.

    Teddy Howe was absolutely brilliant, I love a full back who pushes up and pens opposing teams back… maybe he could be better defensively, I don’t know?? But he allowed us the freedom to attack and swing balls into the box and the overlapping with Gilly was fantastic!!

    Macca did really well off the bench too, we just can’t find a perfect partner for Loft and we seem to operate better with a 10 behind him rather than someone trying to play up with him, I thought Macca dropped in deep (but not too deep) picked the ball up and used it well spreading play wide and getting us going offensively before pushing up front to join in himself… he’s so comfortable on the ball.

    Other than that I thought the ref was excellent, didn’t get drawn into their dives and let a lot go.

    Let’s play more like we did in the last 10 please Cox, don’t be afraid!!
    Attack is a great form of defence, they can’t hurt us without the ball!!

    Obviously delighted to be ahead and i’m happy I tempted fate!

    I just don’t want us to keep playing so deep all the time waiting for a long ball or a counter attack, we’ve got some good attacking players and should really be making it harder for teams.

    I’m getting a bit fed up of the lack of attacking intent from this Iron team…

    some great results of late are papering over the fact we offer next to nothing in the oppositions half!!

    You can’t argue with 3 wins in 7 days.
    Well done to the players and management team, really well deserved!!

    However while we looked difficult to break down and defended well I have to say both Tuesdays game and last nights were spent in our own half for far too long.
    Staying up must be the priority and it’s a tricky league on difficult pitches so I understand it’s not always going to be pretty but long term I would like us to be more progressive and pen teams back into their half’s.

    As for Colchester I thought they looked like a team lacking confidence big time!
    If we could sign any of their players I’d take both full backs as they were brilliant!!

    I just hope we stick with the more positive formation of 4-4-2.

    I understand some players may need to be rotated but Cox needs to work the players coming into the team into that formation and not overthink it and go to a 4-5-1 or 5-4-1

    Not sure he’s good enough but up front alone isn’t working!!

    4-4-2 with Evans up top could work (released by fleetwood today… and yes I’d take him as we are in a mess!!)

    Let’s sort this out before it’s too late

    Share your thoughts NI, are you happy with the current owners your do you agree we need a chance for someone new to sort this crap out??

    If you are happy with PS then I’d love to hear your rationale

    A bit of a slow start but once we’d taken the early pressure and started to assert ourselves on the game I thought we we’re really good against a strong Orient side.
    Howard: 9 best game so far in iron colours
    All 4 defenders 9!! Absolutely outstanding!!!!
    Spence & Beestin : 9 WOW these guys are killing it right now!!
    Gilliead: 9 superb today
    Eisa: 7 I thought he was 10/10 against Harrogate today just not on the money
    McAtee: 7 pretty good
    Loft: 8 selfless as always and now 2 in 2
    Ref: 6 started poor and after the Pen decision I feared the worst but he then started booking orient players and didn’t stop!
    Cox: 9 keep it up!! Experienced guys back and a settled 11 and amazingly 3 back to back wins and we will be pushing the play offs… Well done!!

    I’ve enjoyed the last 2 matches massively, I can’t remember when I last felt that way!
    Full credit must go to Cox and the players… long may it continue!!!

    If this is true I really hope it’s because they were off doing something important to improve the team and not because PS is about to pull the trigger!!

    These guys love SUFC and we need to stick by them!!… the squad is overinflated/lacking in experience/missing key players in key areas and bang average due to the recruitment that went on before the arrival of Cox.

    If Cox is about to be made yet another scapegoat then that’ll be the final straw for me.

    Pretty sure Peter has said the ‘new model’ makes the team self sufficient with his family not needing to put money in (take Covid away)
    So not sure we need him once we are free of this awful pandemic.
    I was always a much happier iron fan under the previous owner and that included when the team struggled!!
    The last few years have been truly disgusting!!
    I miss the feeling/craving of the next match.
    Sadly for me and many, many, many others over a period of time the crap football and lacklustre eleven players playing for SUFC each game has left me excited about something else on a match day.
    In my opinion out club is in a real mess, a change of ownership is our only way out.
    And I don’t know who that is so don’t ask the obvious!
    All I know is under Swann we’ve achieved next to nothing and have massively regressed!!!

    Watson = 6
    nothing to do, one good save but straight at him TBF, made it look good.
    Hornshaw = 5
    We need to sign a decent RB.
    McGahey = 6
    Didn’t do much wrong could have been a seven.
    Cordner = 7
    like the look of him, good on the ball but not troubled today.
    Bedeau = 7
    one of his best performances, exciting bringing the ball out of deference.
    Gilliead = 6
    Good in possession, got us up the pitch but end product missing.
    Vincent = 7
    Good Performance, him and spence were solid in the middle of the park today.
    Spence = 7
    As above
    Hippolyte = 7
    Some good touches, corners too close to the keeper for my liking, deserved a goal .
    Loft 5
    Should have scored when presented with an open goal , didn’t have any service but didn’t look like he was at it.
    Turan = 2
    absolutely awful

    Eisa = 6
    looked threatening when he came on but not enough time to change anything
    O’Malley = 6
    Couple of promising bursts forward but picked the wrong pass too often, not much to do defensively.
    Hallam = 5
    Got 10 minutes not sure what he offered

    Ref = 6
    we should have had a penalty, thought other than that he was ok

    Cox = 5
    Just not sure on his formation and in game management, Crawley were there for the taking but we just went through the motions for the full 90+ minutes.

    Absolutely clueless in the final 3rd

    For such a big team we are offering very little from set pieces in particular corners
