Decent positive half that. Think we’re unlucky not to be leading really

 

[Maidstone Shrimper]

HT 0-0 "Southend ahead on points but unable to find the knock out punch."

Yep, all sounds pretty good, so far.:thumbsup:

I'd take a point tonight tbh

Finally got I follow working.

Hiddeous pitch. First 30 mins not much football. A lot of commitment and long balls. Last 15 we got well on top.

The front two don't seem to be doing enough. Harrison didn't seem to do enough of the man's side of the game. Looked fairly decent with the ball at his feet though. Drew and Timlin bossing midfield and kightly looking useful.

They are not all that. We should he looking for all 3 tbh.

What I want to know is, what has happened to all the sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards football we used to play? The football in that first-half was quality. They look so composed on the ball, they give themselves so much time and they know exactly what they want to do. Even if, at times it doesn't quite come off it's just so bloody exciting and (occasionally jaw-droppingly) good to watch. We deserve to be in front but in a funny way, the football is such a pleasure to watch, that the result is not so important. Anyway if we continue to play like that, the results will certainly follow.

Were the only 0-0 in the division at half time, hopefully we will come out of the blocks in the 2nd half and take all 3 points.

Maybe it’s a different perspective from being here but the front two have worked their nuts off. Found space repeatedly and done well, maybe just lacked a bit of composure in the box.

its really cold

That was a satisfying first 45 minutes. We competed for everything, won most second balls and with a bit more purpose/luck could be leading 1-0. Ladapo could be a little bit more imposing given he is a seriously big unit but it's early days yet for him. Harrison is showing some neat touches and is hard to shake off the ball but again the final product is missing. A scrappy game but enjoyable.

Trust in Powell think we will score soon ,even Theo might come on nick it one in ��

It's some patterns of play that the manager and coaches train the players to do...unlike previous manager who thought he was clever and played kightly in front of the back three and tried convoluted game plans that made no sense

 

[mattitouk]

McGlashan on for Kightly (believed to be injured).
