Post-Match Thread and Ratings Rochdale 3-4 Southend United

[WhiteNoise]

Said it after the Gateshead match is that our bench is crucial. Whatever the scenario we have players we can call on, are reliable, and can make a difference. What a squad

 

[JD]

Played against 12 all night.
Absolute homer of a ref who gave dale some soft fouls and missed a nailed on pen for us on KAF.

They can all **** right off.

On to FGR

 

[Danshrimper]

KAF, Bonne, Parillon and Kendall completely changed the game. The latter three should have arguably started.

We were incredibly poor until Hopper’s goal - but what an attitude to turn it around. I must say I wrote us off at 3-1 as did many others… delighted to be proved wrong!

Or to look it at it from another perspective, if they had started, it’s unlikely that they would have had the same impact.

Parillon and Bonne especially seem more effective off the bench.

There’s that character we lacked first half. Words well and truly eaten up the ****ing SHRIMPERS!!

 

[in the know]

Think we learnt last year that one of kevs biggest strengths is creating the siege menta!ity. The 'us against the world' feeling in the dressing room. Suits the play off situation well and think we saw it tonight. Reminded me of how we played when we on!y had 12 players.
Thought kaf hopper and bonne were our best.
Reckon we must be favourites against FGR now who won't relish their prospects.
Well done all the travelling fans. Heard you loud and clear.

Only one rating worth giving.

Referee -1,000 which is probably still too high.

They've just shown the KAF penalty shout again on the DAZN closing run through & it gets worse every time. Their defender doesn't get within 2 yards of it & just scythes KAF down

Given the perfect 20/20 vision to spot the sight contact for their penalty (which was a penalty) inexplicable how he or the “assistant” failed to notice that. Bottles it is the most likely explanation. But it made no difference.

Best away day yet.

On Cloud Nine

God I love you SOUTHEND UNITED FC

Where to start after that.

What a game and what a comeback. Really proud of the boys.

Subs changed the game. Thought Bonne done really well and whipped in a few really good balls. Leon is class and gets us on the front foot.

Thought Husin was really poor tonight. Pulled out of a few 50/50s and should have been taken off far earlier. Defensively we was a bit all over the place too.

Personally think those that came on (Cav, Leon and bonne) should all be starting against FGR.

So proud of the lads tonight and can’t wait to get to FGR on Wednesday now. This club deserves all the success we can get after our recent history.

Fans once again were another level!

Up the blues!

 

[Streaky]

Right you lot get yourselves down the Hall tomorrow to give King Kev a massive cheer.

Brilliant extra time performance that’s how you see out a game.

KAF - was outstanding & rightly MOM
Ralph - Amazing header
Hopper - fantastic reaction to put that away
Bonne - fantastic ball in for LCP

Ref - Awful

FGR will underestimate us and will be rusty we can do this!!!!

True but we have been the third best side in the division since the beginning of the year and have lost 2 in 18. That’s not good enough for some, but for most ain’t bad.

What we can absolutely say whatever happens it won’t be for la k of effort.

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

Is there any way we can watch the entire game back at all?

 

[cerbera45]

everyone (including Maher) 11 out of 10

 

[rowe23]

That could not have been a more Southend win! We really do like to be out through the wringer don’t we! Come you shrimpers! Boy and I were at RH tonight, great atmosphere and great game and an even better result.

 

[Sufc.2008]

Some of the comments on the OMT are frankly embarrassing

Easy to say after the event. We were pretty hopeless until the obvious turning point where we turned it around into a 10/10 performance.

 

[njshrimper]

Don't know about anyone else but I absolutely cannot wait for D1's vid. Please tell me he was there.

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

I'd like to know this. Anyone able to upload it online?

 

[Southend schoolboy]

One hell of a rollercoaster. It’s nice after years of darkness and pain, to be on the edge of my seat again with crippling anxiety in a good way.

Anyone that said Maher out after what he’s done at this club needs a long, very long, look in the mirror.

Give KAF a 5 year deal, give Bonne whatever he wants because what ever anyone says that bloke cares and still for me is a cut above the rest. He changed the game with Leon tonight. Also delighted for Charlie.

Other than that, I’m lost for words. Won’t sleep tonight

Up the Shrimpers

 

[seves]

WOW just WOW, didn't see that coming, at 3 1 I was flicking through crap on Facebook. Subs changed it, brilliant.

Wasn't as if the ref couldn't see it, he was right on top of it
