Official Match Thread Southend United 2-3 West Ham United

[spoons]

Where is everyone, 2-2 at halftime. Hurst opener then 2 for Payet to give West Ham lead but Payne with a header makes it 2-2.

I'm in Spain is there a big crowd?

Sounds like a good game, with both teams putting out strong sides. Pleased for Payne and especially for Hurst. I hope he recreates the form from the season before last because we could use that for this season.

It's 96f and 80% humidity here, so a little warm to get too excited

They're all at the game despite whingeing about it when it was first announced.

2-3 OG from Prosser.

 

[Ricey]

Prosser own goal, get rid of him he must be a West Ham fan.

Who are the trialists

 

[Ricey]

I assume Zubar and Galbraith.

 

[Fairport]

Prosser own goal, get rid of him he must be a West Ham fan.

Maybe someone could check but I think he has scored more own goals than at the other end since he has been with us! He is rarely a threat when going forward.

Lost 2-3 in an entertaining game as new season approaches.

I gave up on SZ at half-time when no OMT had been started. Kept updated with CP's texts. Sounded a great first-half but the second-half seemed to be mainly taken up with wholesale changes for both teams. Spammers appear to have fielded quite a strong side so it must have been a good and useful work out.

I gave up on them years ago:tease:

If Hurst finds his form from 2013/14 then we virtually have a new player in our squad. That would be nice.

Hurst played well (as did Weston) but did not score.It was an own goal by Collins.

Hmmn not sure about entertainment. First half ok, 2nd half was flat as a pancake.

Finally got to see Jason Williams but think I must have seen the wrong one.

I thought he was meant to be a young hungry pacy striker. He looks young, but he didn't look pacy or even very mobile to me spent most of the time walking around and Mooney showed far more movement and mobility to me.

Not judging his ability based on a friendly that went completely flat but physically he didn't look anything like the player we have been told he was.

That's pretty much how he looked at Wakering too.

Thought Hurst in the first half was the best he's played in a long time. Mooney played well too.

Based on their cameos I wouldn't hold much hope for Zubar or Galbraith.
