Looking at the stats for the season, Paddy Lane has now scored more goals (excluding penalties) than Colby B. He (PL) also has more assists, and all of that in less minutes. Colby has many strengths (good goals over the season so far, a very good penalty-taker (other than the two recent misses), runs his heart out despite being constantly fouled, and tracks back well. But his record since Nov has been pretty poor, so something is wrong.
May just be lack of support, but it seems more than that. On another thread someone compared him to Marquis which is wrong, because Marquis just ran round like a headless chicken most of the time whereas Colby runs with more purpose. But the bottom line is that it isn't currently working for him.
So what's the solution? Play two up front? Rest him for a couple of games and give (Yengi) a proper run again, even more coaching to get crosses into him?
I'd keep Colby in the team for Tuesday, but unless he's bang on song I'd take him off after 60 mins or even HT and put Yengi on to use his pace was Cambridge begin to get tired. We need Colby back terrorising the opposition and he needs help one way or another.
