Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-0 Oxford United

[Harry Bullocks]

On a plus point, I saw vehicles leaving the lower level of the Civic Centre car park......draconian restrictions lifted ??? ...

On the plus side we are starting to get used to the 5-3-2 and with the form of the players we have at the moment it certainly seems to be the system that plays to our strengths.

On another day, Cox's shot finds the roof of the net and we win two or three nil. Oxford weren't up to much which given the players they have at their disposal, is very surprising. I thought Curtis Nelson was very good for them, always a player I would have liked to see in a Southend shirt.

Certainly not a sitter by any stretch.

I suppose it depends where you are sitting when watching him shoot. I was in the West and couldn't see who's shot it was but I did see it hit the bar and post. As you say it didn't look a sitter live nor on the replay to me.

The ref: I'll be brave and say I've seen worse. Let's face it, every week we have people on here saying that each ref was the 'worst they've ever seen'. He struggled badly in the last 20 minutes when the game was at its scrappiest but then even the best refs would have been challenged.

The biggest contributory factor to the challenging nature of the last 20 minutes was his refereeing in the first 70 minutes !

From right behind in the East Blues, not a sitter but a very, very good opportunity.

Yep, I would agree with that, but a sitter, never.
