Fleetwood winning six two tonight has to be the shock of the season so far. 

At least we don't have to watch Colchester every week. What a horrible little club.

Unbelievable 

Not really we sat back too much 

Absolutely robbed ourselves of all 3pts. They were as bad of a side you'll see all season. Really poor.

2pts dropped, and come the end of the season we could massively regret not picking up all 3 tonight.

Yes, that struck me too. Great position and he seemed frightened to shoot. (Unless he's got a bet on Stockley to score!)

Not sure what you were watching there. Could have caught it. At worse pushed to the side 

Ripley is not great at the moment 

We also need to understand that Ripley lumping it to Stockley doesn't work. Too many long balls tonight after Byers went off - we weren't creative enough in midfield, and that Garrity/Croasdale combination, whilst enforced tonight, doesn't do it either way. Garrity gave the ball away a lot tonight, and whilst he runs his conkers off, we needed more than that tonight. What does Paton have to do to get a game?

Getting the feeling Moore isn’t a fan of his 

Easy to blame Ripley but that goal was coming. We did nothing to change it and Moore clearly didn’t know how to counter Colchester when they decided to start playing football. 
2 points dropped and if we play like we did tonight against Notts county then they will win comfortably. 

Ripley is awful. What was he doing? Shot was going about 1mph. Terrible

When is he ever going to drop Ripley?

Can’t believe what I’ve just watched. 
In total control until Ripley decides he wants to play FIFA. 
That might be one of the most pathetic saves to assist a striker, that I’ve ever seen. 
 

This bloke has been consistently costing us points for the best part of a year now. 
I can’t remember the last time he had a blinder and the mistakes he’s making are every other game. 
Enoughs enough.

It was coming and the defending was poor from Cover leading up to it. But a professional keeper should be dealing with that every day of the week.

Garrity playing deeper is an absolute waste of everybody's time, including his own. His strengths other than his engine are his finishing and his movement in the final third. Not passing, creating etc.

Not Ripley.

He was at full stretch to make a good save.

Poor ball retention and poor defensive marking.

Absolute <ovf censored> mate, it was awful, he should have caught that all day long

Rubbish. It was nailed on they would equalise, we sat back and allowed the game to be a thousand miles an hour when they brought their subs on, ball was like a hot potato. So f****g obvious it would happen.

Stupid decision by Tolaj, how could he possibly get himself offside for that???

Poor goalkeeping from Ripley but why, oh why, oh why do we constantly try and settle for narrow wins against crap teams like this instead of putting the game to bed??? Frustrating is not the word.

Literally two point chucked away.
