Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 4-1 Aldershot Town

[Barling Magna]

Let's face it we needed that win .Can't see us picking up a win bonus next week,

Against Oldham? No fears there. They lost at home to Kidderminster today.

I'd be suprised if we get more than a point on Tues.or at Oldham,

@leeblue told him he was out unless we won.

Finally my NLTV hoodoo was broken, previous to today I'd only seen defeats where we didn't score, going 1-0 it looked like more of the same. As Paul Clark said on comms, the ref was bad, but at least it was bad calls for both teams.. The red card was a big turning point in our favour, only one winner from there.

Also a note on the Comms, absolute world apart in professionalism having a proper BBC feed with goal updates from other games too, compared to the numptys we usually get for away games that seem to be totally biased with no research done.

4 different goal scorers, Ollie scoring on his 100th game and morale boosting goals for Cards, Wood and Dackers leathering one in at the end.

Take the 10 point deduction away and we'd be next to them in the table, and Altrincham aren't in great form themselves having lost 3 on the bounce. If this result installs some confidence in us there's no reason we can't win on Tuesday.

From the radio we played very low tempo first half, then upped it second and that's where we got the result. I hope that low tempo was due to low confidence and we now start upping our game, coz we sounded toilet first half and aren't comfortable enough to play crap and turn it around every week. let's hope last week is the start of something now

Technically we have 51 points now without the deduction, so no reason to fear either of those sides. We are on par with them this season. And we had far more to deal with than either of those sides too.

Obviously i didnt see the game but would well come comments on Woods performance today. Sart next game.

Sorry guys but that 10 points deduction is here to stay.

That result is even sweeter after the way Stuart O’Keefe and Josh Stokes celebrated after their goal!

Half-time expert opinion from the Temple of Doom...

“Mahers methods will take us nowhere in the future, horrible to watch!” Wigs insists.

“Is crab ball in full affect today?” insists Gates.

“You've got to ask yourself just how many of our players would make the first team in the top 10 teams in this league,” Strikes insists.

We know that referees can be totally incompetent at this level but should we complain if they are totally incompetent in our favour? The game turned on that red card (not the right decision according to our commentator) but, after having said that, isn't it rare for us to take advantage of a numeric advantage. ( I do remember us doing It a number of years ago in a glorious midweek evening game at Pompey) Whatever, we really need that result ...gives us more confidence and helps us move away from the trap door.

A comfortable and much needed win in the end following a sloppy first half, with Miley in particular being uncharacteristically poor.

Waldron looked far sharper than when I last saw him v York, he turns the defender very well and did so for the red card. I thought the red looked a bit harsh from my vantage point in the East Black, I'm not sure if Waldron would have been clean through? Maybe Ralph getting in the refs ear and clear 'off' chanting from us helped sway the ref!

Fair play to the lads for taking advantage of the extra man though and scoring two quick goals. It was great to see Wood come on and flourish in his more natural position, he perhaps deserves a start next match now as a more attacking midfield option?

Finally, I was really pleased to see both Cardwell and Dackers score and hopefully we'll see goals flowing again now

 

[MisterStubbs]

Red card changed the game undoubtedly but the second half performance was much better and the result much needed with teams around us also picking up wins.

 

[Floval Flyer]

half time


Full time

 

[Wickford Blue]

Think Miley and Morton are both really good defensive midfielders but not sure there is room for both in the same team!

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United fought back to record an entertaining 4-1 win against Aldershot Town at Roots Hall this afternoon.
