Absolute toilet. There are NO excuses for not beating ***** like Dagenham at home, man-for-man we are much stronger and should be disposing of them at home if we have promotion aspirations. It's the same **** week-in, week-out. At least I can say we're consistent - consistently shocking!
Once again, 1 up front is just a no-no. Especially when the tactic was to hoof the ball from the back up to Corr. Because 8 times out of 10 he won't get a head on it and when he does, he's the only ****er up there so no-one wins the second ball and we lose possession again. It's not rocket science, it's the dullest and most thick, idiotic football I've seen a Southend side play in a decade yet we keep doing the same thing.
There is no tempo, no zip to our passing, no intelligent movement off the ball, no-one running the channels, no-one getting in behind the opposition defence and no penetrating passes. It's not as simple as saying we don't have a goalscorer. You could put Diego Costa in this side and he won't do naff all. Absolutely woeful.
And I'll give it to the defence in a lot of ways because that's the third consecutive shut-out, but Prosser and Bolger both still scare the **** out of me AND contribute to our build-up play woes by just putting an aimless boot through the ball everytime they receive it at their feet.
Bentley - little to do.
White - solid
Prosser - worrying, would have struggled against a better team
Bolger - complete and utter pony
Coker - impressive
Payne - mostly useless
Leonard - huffed and puffed but a bit headless chicken
Atkinson - solid and covers a lot of grass but offers little when in possession
Worrall - dangerous til injury
Weston - utter dog**** and has the touch of a rapist
Corr - can't jump, shoved off the ball and dispossessed too easily for such a big bloke, wouldn't have scored in a month of Sundays
Subs:
Coulthirst - average, looked quite good in possession
Timlin - barely noticed him
Williams - showed more strength, movement and pace in 6 minutes than Corr did in 84. Should have been on 20 mins earlier.
Phil Brown - clueless. Get out of my club and take your arrogant personality and your dull, boring, negative, lumbering, unadventurous style of football with you PLEASE.
