The team today was short of a number of our starters, Tyrig, David Lynn ( out for 3 games red card) Kwai ( 2nd game of 3 red card) Hayden ( recovering from an operation) He startered Dave Pearce alongside Ken , saw it was not working, subbed in Brayden for Ben Peters at h/t , which improved us. I suspect Brayden did not start because Dave Tuttle wanted an impact player available He needed a player in front of the back 4 so signed his son who he should know his strengths Rocko was a big miss , but Tom Cove looks to have ability and scores goals for Thame U18 , 9 last time I looked. Conclusion, Almost like a pre season line where different players are getting to know their team mates. We will get better, still lots of games to play. Jim Rayner Hayden’s fit, ready, willing and able and needs to be playing so Colchester can see he’s continuing to develop. All of this is straight from the horse’s mouth so to speak. There was no excuse for him to have spent the entire game yesterday on his backside on the bench.

Can’t see Jack giving up on us. He’s integral to the club, much much more than just another player. I don’t think there’s been an AUFC player admired so much by his teammates and opponents since Hercy was in his prime. It’s obvious it isn’t about the money for Jack (could you image the money he could get from a money club needing an absolute warrior for the run in?), it’s about loyalty and being happy where you are. If we lost him it wouldn’t be time to raise alarm bells it would be time to call the fire brigade to put the fire out and try and save what’s left. Certainly not this season but if things take a turn for the worse in the summer. Can sense his frustration and loyalty only goes so far. Was more apparent to me yesterday as I chose to stand behind the goal we defended yesterday whereas I normally don't.

Only one way to prevent things not going a way Jack wouldn’t like in the summer….
Offer him the job.
Jack Wood assisted by someone like Greg Williams would be a management team even the most disgruntled fan could get behind.

Mark Eaton currently available, an all local management team would give us a much stronger opportunity to pull ourselves out from this mess.

Maybe he doesn’t. I was thinking with my heart on that one!
