Official Match Thread Gateshead vs Southend United.

[Roger The Alien]

We need to score 1 goal, to take the heat off us, before Gateshead put that Fat Hippo on (Nouble), our defenders should leave the club if they let him score …

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Well it's nice to finally hear some opposition commentators that are not totally biased. They've been great so far. As for the game, we've done our job. We've created the better chances, and could easily be 1 up. Gateshead are playing much better than of late, as you would expect for a one-off game, and are clearly a danger when they come forward. But brilliant and solid defending so far from us has limited them. Gateshead will have to take more chances in the second half, and should throw everything at us. Time to bring on Bonne for Hopper, I think, as we could need a bit more pace on the break.

Compared to that dreadful playoff game I watched yesterday between Eastbourne and Maidstone this has been a football classic so far but our lack of a fox in the box is a concern as ever and the intensity we showed in the first 20 minutes has noticeably dropped off as well. A real nailbiter coming up.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Started out like a house on fire but couldn't get the early goal. Game evened out after the first 15 mins but we had the best chance which was thwarted by their keeper. Stress, stress, stress!!!

Win we go to Oldham,

Draw we go to Rochdale,

Lose we go nowhere.

We've been OK so far but I still feel a bit nervous when the Heed come forward. I think Jovan Malcolm can be dangerous so we need to be on our game at the back. Hope we get an early goal in second half.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Off we go

Win we go to Oldham,

Draw we go to Rochdale,

Lose we go nowhere.

which off the 3 will it be , will we put in a 2nd half performance like we were doing earlier in the season or a second half performance like we did last two weeks

 

[Hooly]

I think Parillon running at their RB, if he gets on, could be interesting as he's apparently a midfielder playing out of position, which to be fair he looks.

Husin heads it out for a corner not under any pressure......???

 

[stewart]

either side

dosent sound good

 

[Scamps]

Wonder if the crook is watching.?!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Don't like the way we have started the 2nd half.

Ball isn't sticking and we are letting Gateshead into the game too easily.

 

[Sufc.2008]

We’ve come out and trying to slow the game down already… what has Maher said at half time?

 

[LBBlue]

I reckon Gateshead have the best two individual players -Booty and Hannant - we need to stop the getting the ball - we seem to be getting more and more disjointed and going into our shells - we’re not controlling the game any more ….

 

[stewart]

who to bring on out off Morton ,Parillon ,Bonne or Walker or Cav. maybe all 4

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Please don't tell me we are playing for a draw? Such a risky tactic

 

[Cricko]

Hopper for me is doing nothing.

 

[Sufc.2008]

Need to get Hopper off, he looks half dead - so slow
