Official Match Thread Southend United v Blackpool

[mattitouk]

Well I think we all saw that coming... We were way to defensive for the start.

Terrible tactics... So much for "Fortress Roots Hall".

On the plus side, we have another 70 minutes to get lucky. and grab a draw.

UTB

Could be a long afternoon. Let’s bloody hope not though

Change it Powell ,give Cox some strikers to play with up there

 

[mattitouk]

Dieng and Dru injured?

 

[5scoops]

No shots on target ,come blues

A bit early to be honest.

Although I would expect some changes by 60-65 minutes Max.

If not, i would be disappointed.

 

[Barling Magna]

Yearwood crocked, and off.

 

[Barling Magna]

McCoulsky on.

 

[mattitouk]

Dru collapsed in the centre circle with a thigh injury.... and coming off...our season goes from bad to worse,

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Bloody hell. We might not be helping ourselves tactically but we’re sure as hell not getting any luck.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

McCoulsky on.

Well he’s certainly got a chance today. I hope for him and us he takes it. He knows where the goal is - maybe he can point it out to the others

 

[5scoops]

Come on blues we now got striker on pitch who can get goals and got pace

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Sounds like we have reverted back to last season Phil Brown Southend

 

[Dubai]

Maybe one of the worst first half home performances I’ve seen since being in L1

I wish it was that good...

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Awful, we can’t pass the ball 5 yards

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

My biggest worry is the injury to Yearwood. That allows me to avoid talking about our first-half performance which (apart from a Kightly shot against the post) was awful. It can't be as bad in the second-half........................surely!

 

[Tampa Blue]

Now Yearwood is off the pitch, I can honestly say there is not one ‘contracted’ player on the pitch that I would be disappointed if they were not here next season.

It has been feeble so far.

Let’s hope they make me eat my words in the second half.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Another god awful ref

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

It's ok, we're having a crap first half instead of second. We'll come out all guns blazing second half lol !!!
