Odd game to analyse really, started brightly with Mo’s goal, but what the hell was the keeper and entire defence doing for their two goals? Switched off totally not reacting at all to the danger of the crosses coming over.

Then some football broke out, like we were actually passing to each other, without resorting to lumping hopeful long balls forward

Second half I thought we took control, yes they had a few chances, but so did we, their keeper kept out Devoys piledriver that looked very much like it was going in.

Deserved the equaliser from Gilbey and well done to Matt Dennis, neat finish for the winner.

Much happier than after that god awful display at Crawley, but we still need to improve and get more players in.

It's early days but quite surprising that Colchester are bottom of the table on zero points. They looked a decent side.

Shocking non-football, but Gilbey in particular produced the rabbit we needed.

We can’t keep playing that way. It’s awful to watch, we don’t deserve points and our players are better than that. As soon a Grant came on we had more control of midfield. Hopefully GA is not too old to learn.

I would imagine that he's aware of the benefit that his substitution decision made.

What, that possession-based midfield play is a good thing? If it gets past his bias I’ll be amazed.

That really was one of the most undeserved and genuinely funniest results ever.

We were not good for most of that match, we were outplayed, outfought and out thought, and still managed to get three points.

Hurrah etc.

I think we might see Leko dropped for the next game. He isn’t offering enough and I think may be negatively affecting the team.

The amount of times we've been on the receiving end of losses like that it's just long overdue payback time.

One of the junior Ramones said that he and GA were screaming at each other at one point. Anyone else clock this?
