Post-Match Thread and Ratings Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 Southend United

[Cricko]

A good first half for the Blues sadly undone by 7 minutes during the second half.

We all knew it was not going to be a sudden impact where we would become world beaters overnight and I am sure it is as obvious to Maher and Co that changes in the playing staff have to be made and sharpish. Unfortunately you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear and the same problems we have had all season and before that remain.

It is however only the Coaching teams first game in charge so we will have to be patient as they are having to deal with what we have atm. Barring a very few players we have the rest are just not good enough even for the NL league, We have a terrible squad.

Fantastic support again from the 1354 travelling army, the supporters are one constant with our club. Superb.

Over to you guys.

Please give them all time?

Even our 3 fantastic new appointments can't change 3 to 5 years or losing mentality and the rot that's so deep in our club in 4 days.

It is going to be a long hard journey and this is just the start. We may see a different tune from this group of players when they all have time to work with them ?‍

A damp end to the most exciting week at our club for years but I have a buzz again and firmly believe the future is blue ? and very bright ?

Where’s the pain killers!

 

[Holy Joe]

Summed up well on the radio - "disappointed, but not shocked". Lots of work for the coaching team to do, but then we knew that

 

[GNH]

We were lucky to score 0.

Changes in personel are needed NOW.

If our support gave us the points each week then we'd be up near the top of the league.

Rather ironic and sad that the football on the pitch has left us at the opposite end.

We need huge changes in the playing squad before our next match vs Boreham.

 

[Chapperz]

First game in charge for the new coaching team. This is going to be a long process to turn the tide. Let's continue to back them.

Dreadful comment!

 

[Bluegoose]

Dreadful comment!

True however.

 

[Jacob Sladder]

Certainly not apportioning blame to new set-up. We had a much more positive first half against Daggers compared to teams much less able. However, our shooting and heading must be practised with rugby posts because we cannot keep the ball down. I heard the words "It's Over" so many times, I thought Roy Orbison was commentating!!!

 

[Charisma]

True however.

Don’t think so - Rome wasn’t built in a day but you don’t seem to understand the predicament the new Coaching staff found themselves in.

Honestly, I just cant believe the mentality of a large number of our 'fans'. Jesus...

 

[RHB]

True however.

After two days in the job and their first competitive game you think that? Good job you're not impatient.

 

[sufc4life21]

If we had klopp or pep, they wouldn't do much better! These players we have recruited over the summer are to old and past it. We are in for another long season.

 

[Fairport]

I have followed the club for just over 60 years, this is the worst squad ever assembled in all that time.

 

[Tommy2holes]

There are 5 players + in this first team that should never pay for us again.

The front two just aren't working. Dalby and Murphy just dont work well together.

The two wingers need to be wingers. Egbri and bridge can't defend.

Wholesale changes need to be made

 

[Chapperz]

I'm amazed that it hasn't taken Maher & Co 3 days to turn around a team that has been horrendous for 3 seasons, suffered back to back relegations, with a squad of players totally lacking in any confidence after having a manager play the "throw them under the bus" every week routine.

Blimey, what a strange comment. We needed a new Management team, we got it. We also need about 6 new players. Without that change, we're not going to win many games, no matter who is in charge.

 

[nick12]

No no no.

I don't think you will be thinking or saying that in 6 months.
