Official Match Thread Gateshead v Southend United

[Shrimper]

Unnacceptable performance.

Got to win next week

 

[Ricey]

Quick, someone resurrect the Maher Out thread. It’s the only logical response

Tactically in-depth

 

[Cricko]

Well we have gone to pot today.

 

[Rob1920]

Wonder if all the off-field negative stuff has got to the players. 3-0 now.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Pretty clear the players haven’t been paid on time and the off the field stuff is affecting them. …

Clearly there can be absolutely no other possible reason.

 

[Ricey]

Let’s just put this down as a bad day at the office and forget about it.

Ron's sorted the bridging loan. He took the £40k from the trust, £40k from PG Site Services and lumped it all on a 3-0 Gateshead win.

 

[gatecrasher]

Maybe the money spent on youth team wages meant the first team didn't get paid.....certainly playing like it

Was thinking the same , has to be

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Wrong subs

 

[GNH]

****ing hell, how bad are we today.

Odd to suddenly throw in a performance like that

Let’s just put this down as a bad day at the office and forget about it.

I'll go with that, hopefully just some complacency and a wake up call. Feel sorry for the fans who travelled all that way though.

 

[dannypav]

Had to lose some time and it's all about the reaction for me.
Just hope Gateshead and Torquay results don't come back up bite us.

 

[The Big Dady]

Some how Southend are still 5th and Gateshead are up to 22nd

 

[Barling Magna]

We score.... but offside.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

We have hit the woodwork twice when it was 0-0, one of those goes in, it’s a different game.

One of those days I’m afraid, move on, but we have to bounce back next week.

 

[MisterStubbs]

How does the best defence in the league concede 3 goals against this absolute shower of ****? Those travelling fans deserved better than that. Embarrassing afternoon for the club.

 

[Special Blue]

Had to come to an end sometime! How often does any team un-beaten lose to a team struggling? $hit happens!

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

One needs to remember they're all still fifth tier.
This sort of thing is bound to happen. I saw highlights of Gateshead's defeat at Yeovil and, boy - did they look average!
It says lots about this league.

 

[South Bank Hank]

We have hit the woodwork twice when it was 0-0, one of those goes in, it’s a different game.

One of those days I’m afraid, move on, but we have to bounce back next week.

My feel is for this. On another day, they go in and we go on and win the game 3-0 ourselves. Cold, wet day up in Gateshead against a **** team but one fighting for their lives and getting their noses in front. Hopefully it's a bloody nose then for us that reminds us what we need to bring to every game.

It could be the other off-field stuff but that hasn't stopped the run so far.
