Thought I'd start something new and re-visit a classic match against our opponents. Starting with this weekends visit against Bristol Rovers.

We re-visit 15th February 2005, LDV Vans Trophy Southern Final 1st leg
Bristol Rovers 1 Southend United 2

This game would be best remembered for Mark Gower's sensational goal from the left wing.

This was not a classic performance against a poor Bristol Rovers side, but it only took Lawrie Dudfield eight minutes to score the first goal a well taken header from Lewis Hunt's right wing cross. The next 20 minutes were virtually played exclusively in the Pirates half with no real pressure on the Southend goal.

However in the 29th minute Craig Disley appeared to throw himself to the ground in the box and the referee gave a penalty, adjudging it to be a foul by Barrett. Justice was done when Junior Agogo wasted the chance to equalise by blasting his penalty against the bar.

The game grew a little more even, but the defence coped well and it took an excellent header from a corner by Walker to pull the scores level 10 minutes after the restart. Gower gave the Shrimpers the advantage again then a combination of good defending and good luck at both ends resulted in no further goals.
 
I think I remember that game, I was in east blacks, I hadn't been in the other stands because in started watching southend in 2003,
A game I remember is rochdale on the 22nd November and we won 4-0

You might have been in the East Blacks, but that game was played in Bristol!

Junior Agogo who had been mercilessly taunted in the first leg scored an absolute cracker in the second, but we held onto draw on the second leg (the game I think you are referring to) and book our place at the Millenium Stadium.

I think the 4-0 v Rochdale was Tilly's first game in charge.

correctamundo.
 
I remember another meeting with The Pirates on Monday 9th January 1984. We won 2-0 at home I believe. I missed it as I was in the maternity ward of Rochford hospital with my wife awaiting the birth of my daughter. I listened to the commentary on hospital radio though. Isn't technology wonderful? My daughter was born the next day, the very same day as a certain Irish midfielder.
God, I feel old!

Boy did we give him some stick in the away game! One of my favourite away trips that; tremendous pies (to be expected I guess given that it's a rugby ground), a beauty by Gower, great singing from the away support and I even managed to sneak my hip flask in (twas a cold night).

Then Matt the Shrimp got a cracking run down the M4 and I was back in Chiswick in no time!

Don't think I was at that game then, my first game was Bristol at home on a tuesday, in east blacks though, in 2003.
