Colchester isn't far from me so took the trip up the A12 and watched it with my brother and nephew.
Decent performance without being overly exciting.
Good performance from Earthy but the GK Herrick was the stand out for me as he made a number of saves in the second half to keep us in the game, including a double save for the penalty.
A little disappointed in Kante - was expecting him to run the show last night and he showed some flashes but maybe tried a bit too hard and often gave the ball away.
He gives the ball away a lot in bad positions every time I've seen him, has a lot of good attributes though and is still young

Not only did Earthy look good like he can do, so did young Herrick for me and not just his impressive double save for the Penalty either - although the way he still managed to get a foot in to block the rebound on to the crossbar..
Hes's even got a bark in him too. One to watch, maybe.

Earthy found his level.
So you don’t like Earthy either . I sense you have had a traumatic experience with a young male, did they rebuff your advances?
Amyone who doesn't care about the youth set up at West Ham is either not a West Ham fan or has no earthly understanding about the ethos and history of our club and should be utterly ashamed.
But then we all know Sad Ferret is yet another Spurs troll and should get its account disabled.
Great result for the U21's into the last 16. Seems like Earthy had a great game from reading the involvement he had on the Colchester website. We also got away with a giving away a 94th min pen... let off for the youngsters that.
Earthy has the best chance of breaking into the first 11 from what I’ve seen. He was imo ahead of Potts before last season when both went out on loan but injuries have slowed his progress. Hopefully he can svoid them going forward and get some minutes under Nuno.
