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

[Spaceman Spiff]

You know the drill. Good result, but it should have been more. Poo in the post to that lino.

From the Wrexham fans forum:

I'd settle for that point as we were lucky to get it.

Point away at a decent side take that.

0-0. Could easily have lost that.

Lucky to get away with a point.

We was Robbed by the match officials again !!!

Never even went, but gutted

We played well and deserved all 3 points

11 men v 14 today ( with the 3 match officials getting on the away coach home )

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Good performance.

Lack of goals.

Typical Southend.

Role on the next game

Very annoyed right now, but would have taken a point pre match and a pleasing response to the 2 defeats. I must admit I was half expecting a handball to be called in the build up to the 'goal', but can't believe once it's given the linesman was intimidated into changing his mind and giving offside.

Husin and Ralph made a real difference, and the defence as a whole, including Collin, were excellent. I'll try to post some full ratings later.

Another one from their forum:

"Delighted our payment to the ref worked out for us. Sometimes they just take the money and run, at least this lad did as he promised."

Pretty sure Hyde’s goal was offside being perfectly in line myself, but lino never flagged.

Very very controversial as a result but if the officials did their jobs it wouldn’t have needed to be.

Tinpot officiating. Wouldn’t even call it Sunday League because I’ve seen parents run the line better than that.

I just don't understand that offside decision at all. What was there to discuss? The linesman didn't give offside, what changed his mind? Baffling.

We were the better team but still struggle to create enough clear chances. Still not sure why Wreh doesn't start but overall we were solid and Husin exceptional.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

9 points and 7 positions below a play off place.It's not going to be easy. to make up the ground on that gap.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Told ya so! It's all well and good for Paul mullin and co to score shed loads against dorking and maidenhead but we are southend united and they didnt get a sniff today! We made them look bang average and I'm not sure what all the Wrexham hype was about? We should have won today and got robbed by the worst ref I've seen.Ralph husin and hyde made a difference to the starting lineup but for me wreh is our best striker! Hes a classy player and should start.

Because the lino was so insanely inept that he somehow missed Hyde stepping back in 2yds from an offside position.

 

[LBBlue]

Kev’s said the goal was ruled out for offside. If he doesn’t flag how can he change his mind. Totally Micky Mouse. Trouble is any one who is any good here is promoted to the league and we know how rubbish most of them still are.

Yeah only 30 games to go

We will definitely go on a run soon... Eat that up in no time... We are miles better than the team that went on that run last season

Does that matter though? Neither the lino or the ref saw or gave it.
They caved in under pressure from the Wrexham players. How can they change their decision on something neither of them saw?

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Hyde came back from an offside position but it was marginal at best , I was bang inline with it and looked over to the Lino who did not flag .

A nervy first 15 minutes where we showed them too much respect but after that we were the better side , Mooney the best player on the park, if I was their owners I’d send Dalby back and get the cheque book out for him

Note to Wrexhams 2 centre half’s who made world class last ditch touches to deny us a goal .

Likes the look of Wreh and for me he has the edge over Hyde and should get a run of games

As Supermac used to say events,events (or in our case results,results are what is important,

 

[leeblue]

Husin was MOM for me, simply brilliant in every aspect.
In fact every player was probably a 7 out of 10 today.
Something to build on.
Well played lads.

I do agree the original decision should stand if they didn’t see it, it’s a refereeing error. The farce that followed was much much worse

 

[Shrimper]

Thought they disallowed it for handball as that's what Wrexham seemed to be crying about
