Still exhausted this morning , but what a game! :happy:
What about that tackle deep in our half with a minute left, then to set up Weston on a run?Awful first half, second half improved, though we only played for about twenty minutes, once Wycombe scored they were excellent and couldn't see us equalising. Must mention the Coker tackle 2 mins before Piggott's goal, he ran 50 yards to save us.
Pens were uniformly excellent other than Coker's, who knew Bolger would score??!! But where was BBBC or big bottler Barry Corr as he may now be known as...
Bentley 8, 2 great saves, unlucky for the OG, just could have commanded his area a bit more for me. Great decisive penalty save MOM
White 7, offered nothing going forward but solid
Bolger 7, passing woeful again but did well defensively
Barrett 8, solid and got stronger as ET went on
Coker 7 again little attacking threat from him today, but that covering tackle...
Leonard 6 passing not there today and no trademark burtsing runs
Timlin 6, looked off the pace all game
Worral 7 worked hard without any real end product
McGlaughlin 7 surprised he was subbed as thought he had some promise
Atkinson 7 worked hard as per normal
Corr 4 won nothing in the air kept falling over, no pace and no penalty either - not sure how he stayed on
Weston 6 showed he had the beating of the full back but didn't do it often enough!
Piggott 7 great goal, worked hard
Payne 5 did nothing when he came on
Crowd 10, great singing throughout from everywhere not just TBV, the scarves were a great idea.

Yeah you're probably right. I did write that late last night after a long stressful day! He didn't influence the game like he can when he came on but he certainly ran hard. I'll amend it to 6/7 then!What about that tackle deep in our half with a minute left, then to set up Weston on a run?
What about scoring a penalty?
Think 5 is harsh.
Really? I thought Wycombe played well and looked far more dangerous than us going forward. Their keeper had nothing to do it was only set pieces we looked like scoring from.Awesome, just awesome. Exhausted as well, but what a game, what a day! It had everything yesterday, laughter, tears, huge highs, despair, pride and lots of noise... Everything that makes me love Southend so much. Not sure if my voice has survived this morning after all that shouting and singing!
not the best of games, as usual, defined by awful refereeing and Lino decisions. Would interested to see what the TV coverage had to say about the disallowed goal, the penalty that wasn't, free kicks not given, foul throws etc... And Wycombe's tactics just proved to me that they had nothing else. Thought we were vastly superior in every department, and in the end we wanted it more. It was close though...
You sure you were at the game, Corr got MoM and I agree he wasn't but 4, behave yourself and for me they all got 10.Awful first half, second half improved, though we only played for about twenty minutes, once Wycombe scored they were excellent and couldn't see us equalising.

Young Payne steps up for a vital penalty at Wembley in a playoff final in front of braying Wycombe fans after running non step as sub and you give him 5, were you one of the early leavers:blush:
Piggot made huge difference when he came on - why or why didn't he start?
