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

[Billy Bests boot laces]

So have I. First midweek beer for ages. These ****s have done it to me.

Think i'm on my fourth!.

 

[Shrimper]

The lack of effort or fight is disgusting. ****ing disgrace

 

[hlane17]

Just absolutely fuming at this performance and what hurts even more as a fan is the lack of opportunities to make that anger known at the moment.

I've seen more class coming from a bunch of lads on a Sunday playing on a moat with hangovers from their Saturday night out.

 

[Ricey]

John White is dreadful!

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

This is Sunday morning football from Blues - with apologies to Sunday morning footballers

With respect, i've played against Shrimperzone FC in the day, and they would def have beat this SUFC side.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Plus Clifford, Elvis and Dieng.

Elvis and Dieng have now been an integral part of two relegation teams. They can both go.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Does anyone have any faith in Ron to sort this mess out. I'm starting to worry that we will begin the same position next season as Ron knows nothing about running a football club. How has it hot to this stage?

He does if it's 'into the ground'!

 

[southendkid]

It's time to check a few players betting accounts

Have they been betting against us all season?

 

[hlane17]

Sick of seeing Ferguson's twinkle toes when he's such a big strong unit. Why he doesn't impose himself more on a game, I'll never know.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Have they been betting against us all season?

They’re so incompetent they have probably been betting the farm on us to win every week

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

We need to get 3 of their men sent off.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Sad thing is that with the rebuild needed we’ll be in the National for a few years.

Well, that's a bonus coz I was fearing one season in the league below us.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

This bunch have got used to losing.
Clear all bar Elvis, Hobson, Clifford; Ox would probably be OK in the National, but won't stay on the wages.

Definitely keep Walsh too IMO. He could be a handful in the NL next year

 

[Chalky]

MM worked so hard to make us defensively sound. Phil Brown has thrown that hard work away on two and a half games.

Great decision that one Ron.

Ohh do come off it??? PB has to go attacking and take risks because I am not sure that you’re aware...we need to at least attempt to score goals?

If PB came in and played conservative we would all moan that he is doing nothing different than MM

Aye, stick a pair of concrete boots on a duck and if it sinks and drowns, it must be because it can't float for nowt.

 

[Hooly]

In all my years following the Blues this is truly the worst team I have seen. Zero attacking threat. Dick Bates team look good compared to this lot

Exactly what I was thinking. I think we played better in the 8-1 defeat at the Gills.

Elvis out too, for me.

Ox can get in the bin, been too comfortable in his no.1 position for too long, has nothing left to prove. Need a new keeper.

As for Elvis, he's seen too many failed squads and needs to move on. Clifford is better than our team and will move onto better things.

Leaving Hobson as our last player who may just hang around. Even then I think Hobson could join a decent L2 side next season.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Bring back Stuart Thurgood and Barrington Belgrave for next season.
