Virtually word for word what I was about to say.
Hopefully we go on a run and Manu can force himself in. Still had a few problems staying onside.

Ben White sounded like he did well at centre back. If he could step up and be the 4th CB it would mean more in the pot to sort Stephens the contract he believes he deserves and perhaps a couple of bob extra to throw at a new number 10. That said Colchester United reserves are slightly different to Championship players.

Since this comment, the 'dire' Manu and Baldock have both scored.
Anymore words of wisedom?
It was very much a game of two halves!
He was very composed and comfortable on the ball but, as you say, he wasn't up against Championship forwards. Colchester didn't offer much in attack tonight. Still, he looks like a good prospect.
Adekugbe looked decent too. He just needed to be a bit more confident in the final 3rd.

Decent display from the stiffs. LuaLua again showed what a frustrating player he is. Looked class against a weak and tiring opposition in the second half.
Manu looked the best I have seen it, again hard to telling that was the opposition.
Norwood was decent too. The left back Canadian also looks great.
Solid elsewhere.

Don't wait for me!
26 shots to 4. 4-0. That's how to use a B team. We're ****ing brilliant.

I enjoyed that. The back 4 looked solid, although there weren't any aerial threats. The Canadian LB looks very good. I thought Manu played better than Baldock this evening, and Murphy deserved his two goals as he'd put a decent shift in the first half, which all came to nothing. Once we'd scored one, there was no doubt we were going to score more. Our midfield was completely in control.

Spot on. Nice evening out in the end. Lager was cold and the tasty chicken pie was hot, travelling was the easiest ever. Happy days, roll on Friday.
I wish I had gone, but I expect I would still be on my way home.
If I knew Lualua would be playing the striker, I would like to see this. I think his skills is most suitable for this as I have said before lots of times. This to me would be an answer to our second striker deficiency.
We looked totally in control against the worst team I have seen at the AMEX.
I thought White looked composed at Centre Half however, Ince struggled with balls over the top and certainaly shouldnt been seen as a long term solution. I would however like to see Dunk and White partnared together in future rounds.
Hunt and the Canadian Left back both looked comfortable. However both lacked im a delivery into the box.
Holla and Norwood were fully in control of the Midfield. IF Stephans stays Norwood will be challanging him for that spot. However seemed a little shy infron of goal.
Kaz and Murphy looked sharp and both could easily step in Friday if needed. Murphys first goal was from a brillinant pass by Kaz followed by a great finish and his second was the goal of the night for me.
Baldock and Manu both did well, Baldock took his goal well and will continue to play his role this season. However dont believe the hype about Manu, yes he played well well however this was against a very poor team. But take the positives. Hopefully we stay in the competetion and him and other fringe players get chance to shine on a competitive level.

Very enjoyable evening. I must have misread travel info as I thought there was a shuttle bus from Lewes for tonight's game, jumped in a taxi instead. Lua Lua was very good second half, Baldock played well and Manu made some intelligent runs first half. Ince looked solid and Norwood kept things ticking over in the middle. Murphy took his goals well.
I've noticed this before especially with Lualua. It is why that it is better that he starts the game (applies to all wingers) as they try ways to beat the defenders and work out which is the best way. Requires a bit of trial and error. Defender is doing the same, of course. It can be seen as a battle of wits sometimes. Very notable when Lualua faced Elmohamady of Hull. Both of the fought out their own private battle.
It can work the other way as well. Lookman had the beating of Bruno until Bruno worked out what to do. With a pacy winger it is harder for the full back. Note that Buckley often faded when the defender worked out how to deal with him, or more than likely the midfield stopped the supply.

I watched the highlights (bad fan), the Amex looked empty.
