Colchester United (a) - League - 25th January 2005
The preview is now on the front page. A team with a not very good home record, below us in the table, who are playing a big FA Cup tie next weekend? This must be a winnable game, surely?

im going for a 0-0 or a 1-1.
Which if we are going to try to get into the top 6 is not enough.(although its probably too late anyway, 11 points is too much too claw back when you have only won once away from home).
Anyone going down?
i cant imagine any more than 200 travelling on a tuesday nite to Essex.

how many times is merson going to play osborn and kinsella in the same team, both cant run and do th esame anchor role in the midfield. i really hope that we win today but looking at the line up i doubt it.

Don't worry, there's still time for the floodlights to fail.
This is the most idiotic team selection since Sheff Wed at home. What exactly does Robinson have to do to get a game? Problem: we can't score. One may imagine the answer would be to play the one striker we have who's fit and available and couldn't stop scoring when he started games.

You know what? If we're not going to do a Norwich and pull back to 4-4, it may be as well if we lose about 6-0 to make it clear we have to get rid of Merson and bring this sorry era to a close. In the Graydon or Lee days, I would have gone tonight - I never even thought of doing it tonight, given the shambles of a manager/team we have right now, and i can't believe I'm the only fan taking that attitude.

Times up I think Dave, I've been very slow to criticise Merse this season, being one of the "Happy Clappers" according to Sheff (but thats another story). But this is abysmal, I've spoke to my brother who is one of the 150 who have gone down there (bravery or stupidity? You decide!), I was on the phone when they scored their fourth. It is awful, there is no shape, no passion (whats that I hear you ask?). I am now truly in the "Merson Out" group. And I can't see it not happening before Saturday. What is for sure, if Merson is there on Saturday and if we are not playing Huddersfield off the park, he won't make it through another week.
But how often have we said something like that?
Times up Paul...

I'm not normally one to advocate mass protest but I think this time enough is enough. Chanting during the game on Saturday won't do the trick as all it will do will disparage the team. Some kind of protest at full time is needed even if we do manage to win. Bonser must be made to take notice of how we all feel. If enough pressure is heaped on him then something has to give eventually. I would also agree with Ian that perhaps a good hiding tonight might not be the end of the world if it hammers a couple more nails in Merson's managerial coffin.
