Fowler: Garbage. His mere presence seemed to make everyone in the whole team try to play for the killer pass every time they had the ball.

Clarke (T): A truly excellent prospect, and was faultless in the second half, but did get skinned 3 or 4 times in the first. Clearly learned his lesson over the course of the match, however.

Adams: Again, a good second half defensive performance, but I really wasn't convinced with him in the first - thought that his dilly-dallying was partly responsible for the lead up to their first goal. Would still like to see a lot more of him.

Rabs: A couple of dodgy errors, however I couldn't criticise his kicking from back passes as someone else did. Rarely have I had such confidence in a goalkeepers ability to kick it first time. Only once do I remember him punting it out of play, which is the typical reaction of 'keepers at this level.

Colchester: The best team I've seen for a little while, so no shame to "only manage a draw".

Town: Disappointing overall, but we came up against a good team and made a couple of costly errors. The table doesn't lie, however and we're still ahead of Bristol City! (The attendance table, of course.)
