That was the worst I’ve seen from Southend this season.
The whole episode was non sensical.
Klass hasn’t pulled up any trees for the 23s all season and hasn’t started a first team game since October. That’s just so random to throw him in tonight in a role that :-
a) isn’t really what he’s equipped to do - he has 1 goal all season for 23s as opposed to Hutchinson’s 17 from exactly that position...
b) meant our best attacking player (Cox) had to move out to the left
He rests Kightly after a good performance centrally Saturday but then uses him early on as a sub out wide ?
I know he struggles but he only played 70 mins Saturday!!!!
Macca simply contributes nothing. Literally nothing but stays on the whole game where we are simply dire in an attacking sense.
Finally at 3-0 down he has Kelman Hutchinson and Wabo all of whom would benefit massively from even 15 mins first team football under no pressure and al of whom have a history and reputation for scoring goals and he opts to use none of them and only makes two subs!!!!!
Harry Lennon simply can’t be fit as why take him if when you’re CB gets injured you bring on Turner ahead of him? Worse still once it was 3-0 with one sub left and not using your three attacking youngsters why not give him 15 mins to ease him back in?
I despair tonight. Worst £10 I’ve ever spent.
