    The fact Morison brought in the likes of Adams and Rinomhota to play passing football should tell you all you need to know about his ability as a manager...
    Yes, you’re right, King came on for the “ast few minutes of that game against Middlesbrough, but I think that was Isaak Davies’ debut as well - McCarthy also gave Tom Davies his debut I believe.

      I was assuming Colchester turned up in their blue and white stripes until the camera panned out to show them. Awfully young City team - Joel Colwill and Ashford must be on the way to Norwich with the first team, someone’s got to get the half time oranges ready after all.

        Tom Davies played in the League Cup

          1-0 to Colchester from a penalty which looked very soft to me, but no one argued about the decision.

            Re the u21s, Joel Colwill and Ashford aren't in the squad, so I guess they're in the first team squad for tomorrow. Can Ashford be worse than what Etete or Diedhiou have shown so far? They're so far out of their depth themselves, I fail to see how a youngster could be less effective.
            Off the top of my head Mick gave league debuts to R.Colwill, I.Davies, King, Bowen, Evans, Sang and Brown

            He also played youngsters in the cup

              In fact Mick also gave Denham his debut against Brighton so the only players Morison debuted were Zimba (45 minutes) and Semenyo (about 45 seconds)

                I'm all for playing Ashford, he looks a talent, but if we try to play him as an isolated target man like we do with Etete then he isn't going to be any better

                  Absolutely. Doing that isn't going to help anyone, plus I think he usually plays as a second striker.

                    I'd play Grant through the middle, with Ramsey, Colwill and Ashford off him.

                      1-0 to Colchester at half time. Pretty boring viewing, but City are unlucky to be losing - I thought the penalty award was a bit dodgy and having seen a replay of it, I’m not sure that it was offside when City put the ball in the net. Also been a good save from a shot by Giles I think it was and a header just wide by Twose.

                        Some decent approach play from the u21s but not much end product- City's right back looks a tidy player.

                          That would be worth a try.

                            If we stick with 5 at the back, Colwill and Ramsey off Grant, with Turnbull and Sio sitting. Literally anything but 2 DMs and Turnbull as a 10.

                              That’s Semenyo, his City career seems to have stood still these last two seasons - he hasn’t played played much this time around.

                                1-1, Mafico (who always impresses me when I see him play) and Wigley combine down the left and sub Nyakhuwa heads in.
