Match Day Thread: Colchester 2nd Sept 2025 (EFL Trophy)

Yep a bit over the top emotional here.

This is a game of football. It’s not life or death. Save the abusive stuff for those who properly deserve it. Like politicians overseeing actual scandalous stiff.

His fawning over Rice bothered me. Along with every other hanger on who stayed silent while Rice destroyed our club, including Parry.

Maybe you should read what I have posted tonight and then come back to me .

All well and good expressing discontent on here, but let’s get it out in the open. It does feel like we’re at that point. Though I don’t blame anyone for sitting it out at the moment.

Lost his head at the end. Like a child.

This has happened in other matches. At 1-2 down in stoppage time at home to Stockport there was a stoppage in play and Dodds was telling the players “just keep the ball”. Absolutely insane.

Imagine getting thoroughly out coached by Danny Cowley. Once Col U realised we had no defensive midfield they smothered us. Lisbie turned us inside out. The last 10 was one way traffic.

Trevor Stroud wasn’t the man running that Q+A btw.

All of our problems encapsulated. It runs way deeper than an out-of-his-depth Dodds.

We can’t even beat col u

Re. Peterborough on 13/9. What happens when two teams have a new manager bounce in the same game?

Was he miming furiously?

No idea sadly, but it wasn’t Stroud.

I think moving to sack someone after losing in the EFL Trophy is unrealistic - this is a competition in which we once lost 7-0 at home to Shrewsbury after all.

I would agree though that it is now clear that Dodds is completely out of his depth. The thing that worries me is whether anyone in senior leadership at the club cares. Is the club now just a laboratory for one man’s ideas, and a plaything for the relatives of a very rich man? If we lose a lot, is anyone interested?

Sounds pretty toxic, don’t think I’ll bother going on Saturday. It’s too painful to watch.

In that very awkward interview that Rice, Dodds and some other hanger oner gave, Rice was chatting about how if the coach goes everything else stays in place - coaches, players, system etc.

To me that told me Doddsy will be bombed out the second Rice decides it’s the right move.

He’s already shown that the terrible decision to move to Harlington could be U turned on.
