Colchester United fans have their say on their side's defeat at Morecambe

Kyle Clark

Decent performance first half, but to concede as we did at the end of the half is just switching off. You can't do that in professional football and reminds me of our relegation from league one.

Steve Wright

The clubs fixation of only playing one system is ridiculous. You have to play different ways against different teams but Cowling & Humes are to stubborn to accept that this 4231 is not working. No opposition need to watch us before because every manager in L2 know how we play

Tom Flint

Huge disappointment!! The display didn’t warrant the score line but how many times have we won on a poor performance this season, so I guess it all balances out!!

Very promising performance though so taking the positives away from it. And it was NEVER a red card for Pell!

Elliot Wreford

Awful once again we're in a relegation battle unless ball goes, no win since the start of december, we have a decent squad apart from the striker position we should be challenging for playoffs but with ball we could only dream of that only deserved to win 3 games all season

Nick Marauder

Frustrating to see Luke Gambin get a good assist and a VERY good goal on his Newport debut, on a day when we couldn't score!!

Can't help but think we should have kept/used him a bit more.

Matthew Blaylock

Earlier in the season we got away with poor performances by being better than the opposition in both boxes. That has long since disappeared & performances have stayed at a low level. The 2 chances we hit the post with in the first half were more “speculative” than “clear cut”.

Luke H

It's as predictable as it is embarrassing & narrow minded. Amazes me that we've got such a bloated middle/senior management structure yet the best we can do in terms of an actual striker is a 6 month loan.

Adam Walker

Not good enough at all, ball needs to go before it’s to late

Paul Chisnall

As others have said the formation is wrong for the players we have at our disposal. Certain players need to sit on the sidelines and others be given a chance. The main problem is the manager what we were promised and what has been delivered are poles apart.

Martyn Bell

The performances this season have been well below par and in my opinion the next 2 games should be 6 points minimum if not any other manager would be sacked. Sadly I feel this will not happen

Tommy Leggett

On another day it could’ve easily been 3-0 to us

Harry

Steve Ball has to go. So far out of his depth. Robbie needs to admit that interim appointments seriously have not worked and never will work

Shelley Moules

We thought we played well too and the score line flattered them tbh. If the two shots had gone in first half would been different game.

Adam Mason

Why did we stop playing 532 we looked unbelievable with that formation the 4231 DOES NOT WORK

Jack Jackson

Very frustrating as it's evident we have the potential to play decent football, but we have no belief as soon as they score- Ball needs to sort out his starting 11 i.e. playing MWH at right back and Eastman at centre back
