Tristan Green

Great game played some great stuff hopefully we finish a very poor season on a high

Dave B

Glad Garner has his first win, hopefully a first of many - I'd almost forgotten what a win is. Can't fathom if we were really good or whether Crewe was just that bad. Desperately needed 3 points that hopefully boosts confidence going into next week

David Clayton

Dominant from start to finish. Some nice football on a very difficult pitch.Good performances throughout the team but Ashley deserves special praise; he was everywhere & set the tone. Hall continues to impress; his signing is a real coup. Hopefully a momentum shift to season’s end

John S

Haven’t seen us play that well in years. Absolutely incredible shift when we needed it most

Sean 

Lovely stuff

Danny

Brilliant all round performance from everyone , pressing the ball was the best I have seen all season from our midfield. If we can play like that in the next 5 matches our league status will remain for another season.

Craig Bannock

Best performance of the season so far in my opinion, every player wanted to win today and gave their all! Today shows what we can achieve when we play with purpose and passion!

Sue

Think they had a sugar rush over weekend to many Easter Eggs lol ,if that’s the case carry on eating them well done lads

Code-Zero

Great performances throughout the side but Akinde and Tovide are the partnership for next season imo. Hopper was an odd signing to begin with and will struggle to get back in the side after today.

Sean Kelly

Much deserved win,we are so solid at the back now with the three and I thought Ashley was brilliant in the midfield today.Just needed the goals to come and they did,Up the U’s

OTBC

Saw the game thru the eyes of a neutral. Midfield looked good & strikers took their goals well. Crewe just threw high balls to CBs so easy day. Gap between wing backs and back 3 would give me sleepless nights should striker drop off a shoulder. Battled hard & totally dominant

Andy Drake

Dominated from the start. Great performance by all the players. Looked hungry and up for the challenge

Danny Binks

Excellent confident hard working performance. Well done to all. Keep it up please

Sibbo

Ashley brilliant Hall brilliant Akinde Tovide should stay up front best pairing for me.

Andy Kettle

Ossama Ashley my man of the match. He was relentless in the middle of the park. Wanted to win every tackle and make every pass successful. Great team performance today, you could see they wanted that win. Up the U’s

Rob Shrimpton

Ossama Ashley was massive

Frankie hobbs

One word unreal

Nathan Tansley

Brilliant football in control the whole game played some lovely stuff on an awful pitch ! Big 3 points massive credit to players and staff for a fantastic win !! 4 points clear 5 cup finals remaining !!

Renaissance Men

A rocking JCS and Garnerball. What a superb afternoon.

Duncan Stonehouse

Was a must win game and we delivered; excellent team performance; enjoying that winning feeling!

Si Collinson

Wow, that was a pleasant surprise, shows how when we click we can play some good football. 4 points clear now. This season will be decided against Crawley. So hopefully build some more momentum Saturday to take into that game.

Georgina Davies

What a performance by the boys, why can't we do that more often and we wouldn't be fighting to stay up, looking forward to Salford, let's do the same there

Alan Wiffen

A lot better Crewe were the the taking unlike the other home games Colchester done the business this time

Steve Lowe

Don’t know where that performance came from but that was very entertaining today went home happy for once
