Official Match Thread Southend United vs Bristol Rovers

[Ernie Brand]

That's a complete lie, we have 2 wingers on the bench

I think cp needs to go, simple as that. He has been clueless all season.

Hold on.........wait a minute

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Still an utter shambles.

 

[geoffmundo]

we're going to win 3-2!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 1-2

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

Another game that might just save Chris Powell.

I think that was our first tackle of the match from Elvis and it sparked a goal. Shows what can happen if you get stuck in and compete, more of that please.

Cox’s 10th league goal of the season.

If Turner was a horse they would shoot him

 

[Ricey]

Half time, I’d like to hope we make a change!

Was waiting for the ref to give a foul to be honest.

Missed a very strong push on Hart in the South East corner and then the tackle on Hart 2 mins later was a foul that the ref chose to ignore

The wind has been very strong this half, which I think is why we keep misjudging long balls, if it keeps up we could see a few errors from the Rovers defence and have chances to get back in this.

Bristol were 23rd and they have made us look like a shambles. Unless we pull our fingers out a couple more defeats and we will be in bottom four. Taylor Moore the only one looking to make things happen.

Turner needs going off and maybe Macca on for a bit of width 4-4-2

We are pants. Need to sort it out quickly

 

[Grapevine]

Macca and Kightly been called in at half time

Difference is it worked away from home and didn’t work at home. We had Hyam in midfield for the Bradford win. I just don’t think it’s the right formation for home but I’m happy to be proved wrong.

Well that half didn't prove my point. But it's not because of the formation that we're behind in this game. The players seemed disinterested and slow for the majority.

I'd like to see 4 in midfield, I said that in the pre-match thread. Turner looks a candidate to be replaced.

Then stop playing long balls. Rovers are playing it on the floor, why can't we?
