Southend Utd match thread.

It is minus 3 over here mate, might not be so attractive a propospect :)

:) :) :)

No frost in Rishton Joe ! :alright: . Looking forward to this afternoon's game,
and to football played at ground-level on Buzzer's Billiard Table !..

See you there !. 😎
 
no frost here, should be a good match, have a lot of time fer sol campbell saved macc from certain death,
 
Just got back from the Wham and I have to say, we made Southend look good. Our shooting was woeful and our defending wasn't much better. Did not understand why the Professor took Johnson off for Zanzala, personally, i would have taken Charles or Bishop off, Southend were frightened to death of Johnson's runs down the right wing teaming up with Clicker. The penalty looked soft, but I will reserve judgement until i have seen it later. Carry on like this and League 2 beckons, OK still in the football league but we should and could have murdered Southend today, as has already been said, they were that poor, just is, we were worse! Forget Wembley, we won't beat Salford City on Tuesday night. P.S. where was Jerome Opoku?
 
Distribution was very poor, why on earth for 90mins we persisted in lobbing the ball up front when it clearly was not working beats the hell outa me, for about 10mins of the game we played the ball low and we looked much better! are people thick or what? i really do wonder,
 
This was a game which, with the chances created The Reds should have won with ease,
but somehow contrived to lose in a rather shambolic manner !.
The sad thing was that as the game progressed our team play grew steadily worse !..
So many basic errors were made and a lack of direction was plain for all to see.
Much of this must emanate from the inept play and lack of leadership from the Team Captain who by his failings must have instilled a feeling of helplessness and a lowering of confidence in the other players. Any team looking for success must have a strong and enthusiastic leader, this was never in evidence this afternoon.
It pains me to say this, but In summary, I witnessed a poor game of football produced by teams who at this moment must be the worst in Division 1 .

Quo Vadis Accrington Stanley ?. 🤔🤔

How many chances did we miss first half Sir ?
Not an under estimation to say 6.
What has that got to do with our defensive midfielder and captain ?
Let me make it clear if there are brick bats to be thrown - and today there are several - then let’s cast them in all directions.

Who are you accusing of being thick Cashman ? Be specific.

when yeh learn to read whats been written yeh may just understand, i asked a question not accused.:rolleyes: is that specific enough?

I give up.
if i couldnt read what had been written and understand it, i would probably give up myself.:rolleyes:
 
strange squad selection today, Zanzala only attacking threat on the bench.
Even more strange no Carvalho/Sousa given Clicker only just back from injury.
Bishop struggled to get in the game today. Possibly still not 100% but needs must.
Harsh to criticise Seamus specifically, made to look worse than he was by some awful passing.
More than once he was passed the ball and the same player who gave it him shouted man on straight away. Why pass to someone marked??
Really, really lazy passes, Finley in particular.
Coley raves about Alese but harsh on lad playing LB.
I wish I could like Zanzala but every game he just looks like he has never played football before. He has neither strength nor pace. Would take a player like Colby or Dion over him any day of week.
3 strikers missing with Kee & CBR away, whilst Connor Simpson must be biggest mistake of season. 3 salaries being paid.
 
All in all a pretty poor show, poor passing was evident, too many chances missed, this is just football sometimes everything goes right & sometimes they don’t, but the desire to close the opposition down was sadly missing from many players today
