Colchester United FC (First Team) v Tranmere Rovers FC (First
Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Rock, David
Assistant Referee: Bennett, Andy
Assistant Referee: Crowhurst, Leigh
Fourth Official: Kelly, Paul
A pretty mediocre start to the season as far as David Rock is
concerned. Fitness looked great, as did communication - he was
very animated at times I found, perhaps just excited for the new
season!
No major errors, just getting a few of the niggly bits wrong -
some throw ins going the wrong way and corners given as goal
kicks etc. My only complaint would be an imbalance as to how the
cards were dished out - it felt like Tranmere were lucky to not
have seen 1 or 2 more yellows for Smallwood and Jennings (I
think from memory) - even Solomon could have been booked before
he was.
It did feel like a lot of these minor errors went against
Colchester, but we let ourselves down too and were lucky to earn
a point with a spectacular finish. Don’t think i’ve got anything
wrong to say about the AR’s and 4O which is positive.

Thanks for the report, elbee94. Only seen brief highlights, but
the SWA seemed fairly neutral on Mr Rock. A draw sounded about
right, the perception from a Rovers viewpoint was that changes
were made too early.

You were much better than our game in Essex last year - very
good first half but far too cautious and let us come at you in
the second half. If you play like you did first half, you’ll be
well clear of the bottom at worst.
