Moment of the game was definitely Timlin trying to keep the ball, going down, and trying to put his head on the ball despite 3 Wycombe players trying to kick it away. Said everything about the legend of a man that he is. Top performance and fantastic result. The goal from Pigott couldn't have been taken any better, and defensively the only way they were getting anything past us was from a set piece and their goal was superb but very lucky to go in. Atmosphere was top class, fans didn't stop singing the whole way through. What an incredible day to be a Southend fan, so proud of the team. Moments like yesterday are what we go through all the pain and suffering of the bad times for, got to be one of the top moments I've had as a football fan. Superb.
Bentley 9 Top save at the end of the 90 and saviour in the penalties
White 7.5 Solid and offered a threat going forward late on
Bolger 7 Looked like he might have one of those games early on but grew into it
Barrett 9 Won everything, nothing was stopping him yesterday!
Coker 8 Solid at the back and got the ball forward whenever possible
Worrall 8 Really got at them with his pace and skill
Atkinson 7.5 Worked hard as he always does, brought more solidity to the game
Leonard 8.5 His tackle late on just before the goal was a game saving tackle, didn't stop running and was class
Timlin 9 Fought harder than anyone, urged everyone else on, showed why he's a leader and a legend
McLaughlin 8 Surprised to see him go off, got at them with his skill but drifted central too much later on
Corr 8 Won a lot of headers but struggled up top on his own
Subs
Pigott 8.5 Fantasticly taken goal, supported Corr and brought more threat to our attack
Weston 8 Got at them as we needed them to can take full credit for the goal, too many other players would have just hit the ball in the box rather than run at them
Payne 7.5 Not a Jack Payne kind of game really, but took his penalty very well and wore them out with his dribbling
A very close game, very tactical in the first 90, Brown managed it well though I wasn't too sure his subs were spot on. Couldn't see where a goal was going to come from but what a moment it was. That's what football is all about.
