[Shrimpers are Magic]

No point sacking the manager at this point. It's the players that are the issue if you ask me. They're making basic mistakes.

Should have kept Brown then on that logic

 

[LBBlue]

Wimbledon just taken the lead.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

We just can’t defend. Bottom line. All season. Basics. Was unlucky tonight, until they went two one up, even the wind went their way both halves. Heads have dropped and that fourth goal was just disgusting. This isn’t a set of lads ready for a relegation battle. Not sure anyone else can get us out of this debacle.

I unfortunately think you’re right but we’ve gotta try something

CP has had a awful run of luck but even I’m starting to think it’s time. I’d give him the Wimbledon game which has to be won, otherwise he has to go or we’re down. Makes it worse when you look at what Coughlan’s doing a Bristol Rovers.

Expect there was much longer left in the season. He was sacked in January.

 

[Streaky]

Just 2 points of the bottom four.

Time for a change

Well bang goes our goal difference being as good as an extra point for us!

 

[rayleigh dan]

Having seen every Southend relegation season to date.... this is the time to sack a manager whos tactics and motivational skills are dire.Even our goal difference is now disappearing

Good point re our goal difference. I did think it was worth an extra point, however we're minus 6 in the last 3 games, I can see any advantage disappearing quickly.

 

[Worcester Shrimper64]

Wombles are now beating Posh. Guess who has scored? He will score Sat as well. Mark my words.

 

[Chrisb]

Even our previously good goal difference is disappearing too which could prove costly.

 

[Shrimper]

Just 2 points of the bottom four.

Time for a change

And bring in who?

 

[gatecrasher]

Chris Powell is Alvin Martin in disguise - out stayed his welcome. He has put one of the biggest wetters in history in Mantom as his captain. No wonder the team is failing, no leader on the pitch and no leader off it - complete dross. We by no means have the most limited team in this division but we do have the least heart

 

[MK Shrimper]

And bring in who?

Anyone else.

 

[MisterStubbs]

And bring in who?

Give it to Giggsy end of the season.

 

[Shrimper]

Anyone else.

And if carried on losing?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

And bring in who?

Adam Barrett?

 

[Tampa Blue]

And bring in who?

Anyone, just get rid of the morose and uninspiring management team - all 3 of them

 

[geoffmundo]

First 25 mins it looked so good, until they got that freak equaliser. 2nd half neither side looked like they wanted to win it until another strange goal and then there was no way back.

 

[superblue24]

And bring in who?

You're right, let's sit back and accept relegation.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Sadly I do think Chris Powell’s time may be up
