Official Match Thread Colchester United v Southend United (The Big Essex Derby)

[Rayleigh boy]

And yet, we were assured anyone could do better. Evidently, not.

i do love people who are gloating with a smile about us getting relegated

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

. One of our biggest matches and biggest Essex derbies in our history and they really look like the couldn’t give a ****.

That's the hardest thing for us fans to comprehend. It's like most of them know they won't be here in a month's time, & really don't give a damn?.

 

[rhrussell]

Why oh why are our plays not showing any fight pathetic WELL DONE RON YOU ARE A F........g *****

That's how exciting it is!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

They have a big height advantage at corners, it looks worrying every time they get a corner.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Get Goodship off and bring on an actual forward like Acquah.

This is woeful.

 

[blueblueblue]

Blame the manager.... everyone put the boot into the last one but apart from Port Vale I never witnessed bollocks like this. Brown and his ego can go do one

Yep MM was a clase manager....

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Goodship; you're not good enough, are you?
Add to that, RHF, Hart, Ferguson, Walsh (I missed Saturday, and he played well?); Elvis has been average; and our best chance gets a blast wide.
Thanks, Ox, for letting slip at the wrong moment, although you're not the worst by a long chalk.
Hobson having a good game; Holmes too - but we need a HUGE clearout for the National.

The writing has been on the wall for a while now. But to be getting relegated by Colchester whilst our players are putting in such a toothless and half-arsed performance is hard to take. The sad thing is I can’t see us bouncing back anytime soon either.

 

[Tony Allen]

Can I just say this is a sad day for everyone but especially for those of us who are exiles. The club is my one link to the town and I started when Peter Goy took over from Harry Threadgold!

Ron isn’t the one on the pitch! The players have to take the blame for that.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Man City have pulled out the super league so maybe a place for us.

 

[Southend schoolboy]

The obsession with Mr White is beyond me. Been rubbish all year

 

[gatecrasher]

These bunch of ****s think the reaction they got against losing to col u in the FL cup was bad... loxk the gate and stone the bloody bus

 

[harveyoe]

This was always going to be a difficult game and I wasn't expecting much from it. I am surprised, and disappointed, by the lack of fight or ambition we have shown so far though.

Can we score 3 second half? Someone please say yes. Even 2 would make it more respectable.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

HT.RIP SUFC.We used to have a football club worthy of anyone's support.Not now.

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

Absolute worms. I'd love to never see Ferguson play again.

 

[Snowy]

Odds on relegation next season please.

 

[Cricko]

We need at least 3 subs at half time not after 70 mins A rocket up all the team and to start actually showing some fight. It's been pathetic so far.
