Ryan Jackson: 'Colchester outplayed and outbattled Notts'


Joe Jones

Colchester United wing-back Ryan Jackson has claimed that his side "outplayed" and "outbattled" Notts County on Saturday, despite leaving Meadow Lane with nothing to show for it.

Shola Ameobi's penalty had given the Magpies the lead but substitute Sanmi Odelusi looked to have salvaged a point for the U's with his 89th-minute strike.

However, there was time for more drama as Ryan Yates glanced home a header to claim all three points for Notts for a 2-1 win and keep them level on points with top-placed League Two side Luton Town.

Jackson told the Daily Gazette: “We deserved a lot more from the game than we got. We worked very hard and played very good football.

“But it was just one of those games where if chances had gone our way, we could have come out winning the game. But sometimes that’s just football and you don’t get what you deserve.

“We outplayed them and we out-battled them and I think we had way too much for them but we didn’t turn those goals into a win.

“We worked our socks off to try and get a goal and when we did, we felt like we were going to get at least a point from the match.

“Credit to Sanmi – he’s worked very hard and that’s when you’ve got to see the game out but it just wasn’t meant to be.

"It was one of those where there was a lapse in concentration. Someone has obviously left their runner and they’ve punished us. We’ve been defending so well and it was just one dip in concentration that led to the goal.”

They did work hard and they did play some decent football at times....but other than that he's deluded. There's no way they outplayed us and NOBODY has outbattled us this season.  I suppose he thinks they outplayed Oxford CIty too ?

They played okay, they didn't outclass us at all. Second half we made them look silly, it's just a shame that we didn't stick to attacking and instead made a few iffy errors at the back.

Yet we was the better team.

Would the 'out-battling' he speaks of, be Mandron punching Ameobi full-on in the face as he lay on the ground (that the Ref 'didn't see'); which caused Shola to retaliate (that the Ref DID see) and then book him? Mandron was (eventually) booked but should have been sent off!

I'm sorry I didn't report what I saw to police - as an assault - and have him nicked!

Maybe that's the way we need to go with these 'dirty' sides; working on the theory that what ref's don't/refuse to see, spectators won't stand for?!*

"We’ve been defending so well and it was just one dip in concentration that led to the goal.”

Maybe the reason they have been defending so well is because they haven't played anybody at the same level that we currently are?

What a pity for us. We got the points and are sitting in an automatic promotion spot, but what really counts is that Colchester apparently outbattled us. Luckily for us, if we finish in our current position we'll win promotion to League One, where we need not worry about being outbattled and outplayed by giants of the modern game like Colchester United ever again.

Oh. If we'd won 100 points last season we wouldn't have been playing them in the first place. If Brian Clough had never joined F*rest / we'd signed Glenn Roeder permanently / we'd never sold Paul Rideout / the Munto money had been real we'd be established in the Premier League now. As Jimmy Sirrel once said, the better team always wins, the rest is just gossip.
