Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Bristol Rovers

[bazzashrimper]

When dropping deep, Cox played a sublime flick to create our second best chance from open play for McLaughlin. Later he played an exquisite 25 yard ball to mcglashan to create our best chance from open play. He did little else, but these are the things which set him above a mooney for me

Agree they are too similar.

Mooney is actually a pretty clever forward and can play decent passes, but he isnt going to score. Just dont seem to compliment each other and need a different option to play with either, but preferably Cox.

Still need to give them something to work with from midfield.

My personal opinion on two things.

It looks to me that cox is playing the role of two strikers, coming deep to create an attacking move. But is also trying to be the other forward to get on the end and score goals
Same with Lenny, plays a deep role protecting the back four but also getting forward and trying to drive at the oppositions defence.
Both are good at either or but they cant be four players between the two of them. I'm hoping this problem maybe solved when Timlin, Woody and Ranger are fit...

Timlin, Woody and Ranger

Sounds like one of those kids TV cartoons from the 70's!

Think we are missing Woody and Ranger badly. A new CB and those two fit and we will be more than fine. Its just frustrating that we might be too far adrift by the time we are able to compete properly.

From the Bristol end. They're a funny lot. Especially when they're on the attack about 2 thirds through. Also, from that it looks like Barrett slipped over for their goal.

I just came across this on Chris Phillips twitter account:

Jason Demetriou has won the Echo's poll for Blues man of the match. Stephen McLaughlin second and Ryan Leonard third.

Strange the way we all see things differently at times. I would have had Lenny as the winner.
