First XI
Graham Coughlan seemed to allude to the fact that some Southend players dislike playing at Roots Hall. Although he was keen to point out that he doesn't see that as an excuse.
I thought the little Roots Hall crowd tonight were extremely restrained in their reactions to what was a gutless, pathetic display. In the past I'm sure there would have been calls of 'what a load of rubbish' et all.
The players HAVE to give the crowd something....anything to rile them up, that's the nature of the beast and always has been.
All of them tonight looked like they had come out for a training session - not good enough. They deserved to be booed off and then some.
Give us a little to cheer about then we'll get behind you. If you're going to stroll around wearing our club crest, hiding behind one another then I'd rather you sod off elsewhere. Management team included.
