[Ricey]

God it’s ****ing awful being a Southend fan at the moment.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

we look like a sunday league team

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

This is woeful. Elvis down injured and Waddock giving instructions while Bond rubs his chin.

He keeps doing that. Someone tell him it's not a magic lamp.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

For those jealous of Peterborough's signings, former Arsenal genius Kanu, and Barcelona player Ousmana Dembele score for them?

Just Blind Faith - and they were short lived; just one album!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Can see another heavy defeat with that team selection. Josh Wright and Matt Harold to score.

IMO for what it's worth...this is KB's last chance saloon.... must play / select a team to win...??

Are you mad? We haven't won for about 18 years.

Marvin or Marvel? They were at Chelmsford, good lads

Marvin. Marvel is at Newport or Forest Green or some other Welsh side.

 

[South Bank Hank]

(Getting) pretty frustrated with Ron at the moment as this looks more an more like abandonment. Genuinely can't see that this is Bond's last chance saloon. If he's a dead man walking, which he surely is, then get him gone already and have someone else from the club just hold the reigns while we take care of the proper appointment. Not only is this madness... but it was ****ing predictable!

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

That sounds like a terrible team, but we might be even worse.

What do you mean by 'might'.

 

[Colorado Shrimper]

We've looked really quite bad for the last five minutes. Which is an improvement. Before that, we were catastrophic.

Pleased Kanu has scored. When you're 17 and a club pays the sort of money Peterborough did there's a lot of expectation on your shoulders.

 

[Chrisb]

Keep thinking this season must all be a bad dream and will wake up soon.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Marvin. Marvel is at Newport or Forest Green or some other Welsh side.

Oh yes, there's lovely. Forest of Green in the Welsh Valleys.

What a lineup though!!!!!
Ginger wasn't a bad drummer. N, well as for 'slow hand'.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

With the next game nearly two weeks away, why has he not picked his strongest side and gone balls out for redemption rather than this whimpering effort

 

[GBJ]

Here’s what I can’t work out, we know we’re woeful at the back & we know we ship goals for fun.

So why not embrace it? Why not instil the confidence and mentality into the players, that if we concede 3 or 4, make sure you score 4 or 5.

Why persist in trying to keep a clean sheet, when we can see that there’s absolutely zero chance of that happening.

Now we are - as usual - chasing a game, only this time, relying on a young inexperienced kid who’s playing up front alone, to score us goals.

It’s just a ****ing mental tactic.
