Reports and ratings here please. Another defeat but not as bad as some of the others?
Unsure. I'd argue the standard of each team has been worse each week which has me worried.Why, it's almost like we're improving each game.
Disappointing but still some positives to take from it. Kyle Taylor my MOTM by far. Looks a really, really good signing. If we can get Acquah fitter, get White and Lennon back and Akinola registered and ready to go, I think we’ll be okay.
Utterly depressing performance/result. Our football club has been on a downward spiral for the last two years with no sign of stopping. Three games in, three defeats. We need a miracle to keep this club from non-league football next year. I’m not hopeful.
The kids are being thrown in at the deep end I grant you but they are making the same mistake every week. It speaks volumes about their footballing ability that they just aren’t learning from them. I know that they shouldn’t be relied upon but at the same time when you can’t even perform the basics of football, there’s no hope. Charlie Kelman looks disinterested and probably needs to be moved on for his sake and ours, absolute no effort from him. Terrel Egbri, without wanting to be to harsh is one of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen. He offers absolutely nothing.
If MM some how keeps this lot from relegation then that tops the back to back promotion seasons.
The only positive was Emile. He looked sharpe before taking that knock. It makes a huge difference having someone up top who can hold up the ball and bring others in to play. I’d start him alongside Simeon as soon as he is available.
Just a simple question: how many times today did a Southend player look up and pass backwards?
It has to be a lack of options; therefore a lack of movement, and therefore a lack of drills when we break forward.
As a result, it was slow and predictable.
Morecambe just invited us on, aware we had no thrust in the final third.
Someone earlier said Goodship had a decent first half: OK, he had the shot that brought the goal, what else - and I mean the rest of the game as well?
R Taylor was a better defender today; going forward he's dreadful.
Hobson is equally ponderous. Both make me hold my breath when they're in their own final third.
Egbri? It's not his fault he's so tiny, but he's meat and drink to seasoned League Two pros.
Elvis looks bereft, and apart from Oxley and K Taylor, we've just lost to a side who got thumped midweek and last weekend.
Agreed, but I though K Taylor had a decent debut.Utterly depressing performance/result. Our football club has been on a downward spiral for the last two years with no sign of stopping. Three games in, three defeats. We need a miracle to keep this club from non-league football next year. I’m not hopeful.

He's not a liquid mate, he was just ground down to very much smaller than usual.Was Egbri subbed or did he just evaporate?
