Think Greg Halford (the man with the throws) is one of the most likely to step up in the future. Just turned 20, he has played most games at right back but has also played 15 games up front this season, scoring nine goals in the process.

He could make a Stead-esque step up in the future.

Think that's probably quite a safe comment to make playing for us - he wont be worrying the Rich List just yet!

The Press Association people who wrote the report (and string it to F365 and others) love a bit of hyperbole!

That said, it did make him look a bit foolish and the bobble happened just at the point when he would have struck the ball.

Not the best way to get going in a game!

Yep, as I posted just at the same time as yourself, I think the first goal killed us really - especially the nature of it.

There were too many in our team that werent quite at the races, but think equally there were two or three that did themselves no harm at all to improve their profile.

Now, about that bobble in the pitch

Colchester resembled a pub team at times

A mite harsh perhaps! I think you showed your class at times, rather than us being particularly bad.

Evening chaps - been back about 45 minutes, completing a sixteen hour day for ninety minutes!

Felt that the timing of the first goal killed us - and the nature of it certainly took the wind out of the sails. Dont know what your impressions were but, after a scrappy start, we'd just got our game going I think.

The annoying thing is that - against Southampton and WBA this season - we have given much better accounts of ourselves, but I think perhaps you saw in glimpses what we have.

Have to say that Rovers looked sharper and quicker than the other two sides we faced from the Prem and Savage will be an inspired signing for you, the man has one hell of an engine on him.

Disappointed with the attendance, but fair play to those fans that stayed at the end to clap our players off.

Best of luck in the next round and hopefully when we play you in the cup next season, you'll see a bit more of the real us.

Watch out for Baldwin and Halford - thought they did well today and will only get better!

Cheers for the hospitality,

Matt

Evening chaps,

Looking forward to the game now - the team are already up there and then we all set off at stupid o'clock tomorrow morning.

Should be a good match, think a crowd of about 15,000 is likely.

Enjoy the game!

Not sure how many Cardiff brought to your place last night, but expect 2,500 plus from Colchester for the game on the 29th.

Incidentally, any replay is likely to be Saturday 12th Feb - so that'll be something different, an FA Cup replay on a weekend!
