Southend United boss Kevin Bond to up the work-load against Exeter City

Forums New posts
I know friendlies are not about the result, but it seems we've been pretty **** in them - and these teams have been way down the league ladder.
 
Chill pill, people. Not about the result means not about the result (to paraphrase Theresa May :Smile:). In other words the players will be more focussed on putting into practice the specific things they have begun (note: begun) to work on tactically in training. They will not be going hell for leather (either team) as nobody wants any injuries. Better to pull out of a tackle than risk getting injured, when a goal against is no problem. Goals against do not necessarily indicate poor performances at this stage - particularly in behind closed doors games.

I suspect the number of fans at Dagenham, Millwall and Gills will encourage a more full throttle display, but players will still be looking to avoid injury in a game of no consequence.

Frankly, I'd rather any potential frailties or similar were evidenced in these games and sorted by August 4th.
