Official Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United

[Maldon Shrimper]

Fingers crossed we haven't picked up any injuries few players took some heavy challenges

 

[Swiss Tony]

Win at home draw away,that will do,keep it going Blues.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

0-0 FT......1 point gained or 2 lost ???

Two lost

 

[LBBlue]

RHF and ANG were both impressive today. We SO need a big centre forward to get on the end of the chances they create....

Every team needs a big centre forward - they don’t exist anymore apart from those over 30 and over the hill.

Footballers have been sanitised by tippy tappy football played in academies . 18 teams played in League 1 today and only one of them managed more than 1 goal. Between them they mustered just 11goals.

 

[ESG]

Big lump there or not we wasted three very good set piece's in the last 15 minutes.

Still take the point for confidence and momentum.

 

[jackj13]

We didn't deserve to win at all, what game was you watching?

We never looked like conceding and lots of people saying it’s 2 points dropped rather than a point gained. Just my opinion. But they were a lot worse than us.

 

[SUBBlue]

We didn’t concede a goal & MM is making us a team that’s becoming difficult to beat.

We’ve come a million miles from the sh!tshow drubbings we were getting up until the end of November when cut adrift at the foot of the table.

I believe part of that is down to recruitment & partly down to hard work on the training field.

One defeat in eight & we didn’t lose so let’s take the point & move on.

I thought winning your home games and drawing your away games was promotion form not relegation form.

Thought we were okay today beaten by a "R Sole" of a referee and a very poor pitch.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Look solid with that back 4 and the midfield two but need some more goal threat. At least a different option off the bench.

I agree. Take the point and move on. Didn’t realise we have two games in hand on Grimsby either.

 

[Sussexshrimper]

Was a bore feast...but we are starting to be hard to beat .....as mentioned one defeat in eight 8s very good ..still bottom that only underlines how poor we were earlier in the season ..to be honest neither team looked likely to score today

 

[SUBBlue]

We definitely need a Stephen Humphrys in the team who, incidentally, scored 2 today.

4 of our next 5 games are at home, let’s make the most of them & get out of this mess at the bottom.

In MM we trust! (Fickle me wasn’t saying that 6 weeks ago!)

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Two lost

According to MM we'll have to wait for Tuesday against Cambridge to find that out.

I'd add we've got yet another home game next Saturday too against Mansfield.

And one after that on the Tuesday vs Bradford!

They were but look where we are in the table.

And how long have we been playing like a competitive team? We’re on the up and I’m not panicking. We gave Grimsby a 3 month head start.

Def.as someone said it'll be them and another (not us) to go down.

6 goals in 11 games for Humps, I believe.

Remember when people said he wasn't good enough because he didn't track back enough
