Official Match Thread Doncaster Rovers v Southend United

[marlow17101032]

Well least we are not Northampton

 

[AndyT]

Resident comedian....when you back at school?

Which school?

 

[Floval Flyer]

Northampton losing 0-6 at home to Bristol Rov, isn't that the team we got a lucky 2-2 with at home :facepalm:

 

[Rochford Shrimper]

Which school?

The school that teaches how to be really unfunny along with ya stupid you tube video!

 

[Benfleet A1]

Which school?

School of life?

 

[Lordfreddy]

If I’m correct we have conceded 18 league goals away from home in 6 matches now!

Please enlighten us to what managers there are waiting to come down here and also what players are inching to line up at Roots Hall?

We are Southend, we have an awful stadium and a high cost of living; it isn't as easy as you believe.

For someone who was around in the Newman, Little and Wignall years, this is heaven at the moment!!

I can go back to the bate era I've been supporting for 35 years now thanks. If the managers job at Southend became available tons of applicants would be knocking on the door as well as many managers we could poach. Never easy to manage us agreed...but there must be someone out there who could firstly prepare the squad during pre season adequately and not spunk our budget on old bangers ( to use a car term)
And have better man management skills than Mussolini.

Sorry, mate. Only a bit of banter on the forum.

Will bear in mind next time.

Point taken. No offence intended.

Very grim stat indeed, ive come to the conclusion that our back 4 is totally inadequate !:sad:

All over, another big defeat on the road.

Agree with this statement and i go even further back to Rowley.

Look at Kilmarnock -hardly world beaters and Steve Clarke has applied!

 

[AndyT]

Blimey, Ferdy sent off!

 

[southendkid]

Ferdinand sent off after the final whistle! Is it bad I'm celebrating this?

 

[onceknownasrab]

Our defensive issues have been well documented. Injury, which many blame on PB's transfer policy and preseason, has ravaged the back line. The bit I struggle with is our attack. Many managers would give up blow jobs to have Cox, Ranger, Fortune and Theo, and yet we struggle to get a goal out of them. We can blame the defence all we like but there are problems throughout the side.

 

[The Big Dady]

Blimey, Ferdy sent off!

AFTER the final whistle, so he is out for 3 games.

If we had fit centre halfs, no. As it is, yes.

i think you need to chill out pal! If not this ain't the forum for you...

Or maybe you've been here before??? Yeah, you know!

 

[les@donr]

Unlucky for you guys to catch Rovers on one of our better days, and you having a bad day at the office. Wishing you all the very best for the rest of the season, except when we meet at RH on March 10th, 2018.

 

[southendkid]

I'd rather Leonard at CB than him at the moment, a competent player out of position at the back is much better than a complete liability in his natural position.

Yeah I'm sure there will be loads of quality managers knocking down our door for the managers job!!
