I'm going to have to force myself to comment, because I don't think this season is going to end well.
This is normally the place where one says: 'If X had done this, and Y had a little more etc, etc'
But there is nothing this collective can do that will make a difference.
There are at least six players who are nowhere near Lge 2 standard at the moment.
NO team will ever win a game with five bodies; games are abandoned for anything under eight on the pitch.
Tactics? Who cares! If you haven't got the skill or nous, the system doesn't matter.
Motivation? For example, Egbri appears motivated, bless him. He offers next to nothing no matter how hard he tries.
I've supported Southend through thick and thin for 58 years, and our only hope is the injured and the new can inject something, anything, that will save us from the National League.
I sit in the west stand and no im pretty calm when watching but i do have my moments! I think its iffollow and the pandemic making me more critical and its getting to me lolOur problems go way back beyond what we are seeing now - most of the players you single out either didn't play a couple of seasons ago or have now left. No player deserves to be singled out for the blame for our current mess. As a matter of interest when we were all at Roots Hall whereabouts do you sit and are you as vocal at matches as you are on here ?
He was unlucky with the injury and was never given a fair crack,he just needed a new season with a run of games.I see Sam Barratt seems to be smashing them in for fun in the league we are not far off of joining ...he was worth keeping for another season i think
Just a few emotional thoughts, maybe not logical but....
Sol got better out of the squad and had a plan and a plan B, sometimes.
This is very Bond esque in lack of spite and bite and guile and spirit.
MM stood on touchline looking on as Chris Powell did towards his end with no idea how and what we needed to do.
Bench is SO weak it wouldn't have been answer to any question.
Well played. I’d been thinking throughout the game that Sercombe sized us up well.
You're not alone there mateI sit im the west stand and no im pretty calm when watching but i do have my moments! I think its iffollow and the pandemic making me more critical and its getting to me lol
The set up and tactics today we’re very poor and we don’t have the players we need to stay up but the worst thing today was that every player was outbattled by his Cheltenham (yes, those giants of football) counterpart.
We didn’t make any effort throughout and that is both unforgivable and incredibly worrying.

Not that bad according to Rhys in the other thread.If we feel bad, how do the players feel, they look beaten and scared at all times.
Salford lost todayI have never so felt so impotent as a Southend fan as I do at the moment. If we feel bad, how do the players feel, they look beaten and scared at all times. Tuesday night up against the wound up Paul Scole’s Salford, we could be splattered all over the Park and squashed. The team is disjointed and has no winning spirit. MM, sadly, is too inexperienced for this level of professional football and is not the leader we need.
One of my mates watched this and said there was not much quality on display at all from either side, but Salford's full backs looked decent players, and that one of their subs was lively.Salford lost today
If you read the next paragraph in the report you'd have hluf answer.Molesley: "We didn’t execute the formation well enough today but it’s not about formation or tactics.."
Well - wtf does that mean ?
