I didn't realise just how close Col U re to relegation now as well
Or go down togetherExcellent. Lets drag them in
FGR could do us a favour this weekend as the play Colu.Cant see they play as bad as they did today
I just hope they just turn up against us ?Grimsby and Barrow must have been quite smug after scraping victories last night......hope that's wiped the smirk off their faces. Salford will now be aware that they have to do rather more than turn up on Saturday to hope for three points.
Yes we played well but FGR thought it would be an easy victory and didn't play their main striker until second half.Did they play badly or did we stop them playing their normal game?
I think it was a bit of both with the added ingredient that we played really well. The trick, as far as we are concerned, is to prove that this wasn't just a freak result. Yet but for a freak goal on Saturday we would now have eight points from what, on paper, were four very difficult games.Did they play badly or did we stop them playing their normal game?
I don't agree. Our next three games are against three of the best sides in the division, FGR, Cheltenham and Salford. If we get any points against them I will be pleased. However we then have a run of six games against sides that we can and should beat so I will be looking for 12 to 15 points out of those fixtures. By the end of March there will only be eight games left.....
Exactly what was required tonight, and thank you MM for reading my comment above (made last night), and acting upon it!!!Bizarrely it might motivate us into giving the sort of performance tomorrow night that we have been crying out for.
Going after them from the start and putting them on the back foot.
Fannying around playing for a 0-0 and hoping to catch them on the break would be a recipe for disaster.
MM has essentially got his players now. The next few games could be crucial for both Southend's and his future. So much is down to him. I think we will soon know whether he is up to the task.
Let hope it’s Col Ewes are one of them will end up in bottom 2!From the Barrow fans forum just now:
Some result for them (I.e. us). we just need as many points as possible. At this rate all 3 of the bottom teams may get out of it, there will be teams looking over their shoulder nervously.
I hope he is right. Although I couldn't care less about Grimsby I would be sad to see Barrow relegated having fought for fifty years to get back.
Amazing result tonight, not sure many saw that coming - I certainly didn't.Let hope it’s Col Ewes are one of them will end up in bottom 2!
Barrow and Grimsby both winning is less than ideal. It’s time for MM and the team to perform now though. The manager has been backed, it’s time to start getting results. Anything less just won’t do in our situation.
Both Barrow and Grimsby have sacked their managers and have probably been given a rocket up their arse.. whereas we waltz merrily along with the manager saying week after week we will get it right, it will get better, we have goals in us to survive. Players not worried, thinking we won’t get relegated..
I’m worried
