This is your team Phil , you are responsible , you gave certain players a chance , so what did you see to give them that chance?,SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown was left ‘bitterly disappointed’ following his side’s 2-0 defeat at Peterborough United in the Checkatrade Trophy tonight.

God - reading that sounds like PB is thinking of bringing Timlin back to left back.
BTW who played in front of Hendrie yesterday i.e. left midfield?
Ffs. Why single out hendrie? Loads of them were off the pace last night. Ranger was completely inefficient last night and missed a sitter. Robinson hit the side netting from 3 yards out. We missed what fortune brings last night. Anything knocked up to ranger just came back. He has been abysmal this season.
So why does Brown target hendrie? Because he wants to stick Timlin back in. It's a joke.
I like JW but his positioning/mistake lead to their 1st goal.
McGlashan offered nothing. Didn't hold the ball and didn't even take the ball with him.
If Brown wants to dig someone out individually he should be starting with the front line. Completely ineffective.
Ba looked nowhere near enough for the first team.
Maybe it's time we need to give some of the kids some game time and actually reward those that are pulling up trees for the club. Wabo etc
My contact at Northampton says Jack Bridge has been the best player on the training ground since he joined , and is not just pulling up trees but whole forests. They cannot believe we dont want him + are gutted theyve got to wait until January to sign him .
Just saying .....:whistling:

I can't wait until we get a forward thinking more dynamic manager in who has the same ethos when signing players.
Posh were everything we are not. Young, hungry and attack minded.

Reading that I don't think Brown cared if we went out, he seemed to be treating it as a glorified friendly to give fringe players a chance to impress.
I know that people on here have been talking about how it's a potential money spinner but is it really? The prize money might be £10000 for a win but considering tickets at £20 would earn £10000 in revenue if 500 people went to the match I'm not convinced a game that attracts several thousand people less than a league match actually is that financially beneficial.
And still only one point above us in the league.
But yes, last night was dross. Here's to righting that wrong on Saturday...
We can't right that wrong Saturday.
We're out of the cup/trophy and we'll still be out of it come Saturday. Obviously we can do better, which by all accounts shouldn't be too difficult.
