I, along with so many other people don't have a problem with Lucas, the problem is he's been an automatic choice in the starting XI when fit but based on performances hasn't merited it. Others get a chance and if they don't take it they are soon back on the bench or completely out of the reckoning, they don't get a lengthy run in the team to find their form, maybe Clough's priority was for Lucas to get is 100th goal?
Grateful for the win yesterday, very pleased Lucas came on and scored the winning goal but for those championing him now can you honestly say he has deserved his place in the starting XI so regularly - his touch, control, passing and goal scoring for the majority of the time has been poor to say the least.
Oates and Swann my first choice starters up front - if Lucas comes on as a super sub then I'm happy with that.

I agree. Colchester had got Swann in their pocket at that point in the game. The substitution was spot on and won us the game.

Interesting that he celebrated his goal away from the fans. A fine tribute to those who booed him when he came on.

So, Swan's goal counted for nothing when he jumped out of everyone's pocket and out jumped the defenders for an excellent goal.

Did you not notice that Lucas was dropped for the two previous home games against Swindon and Bradford City which we lost without him.
