No offense but I hope you miss four Southend goals.

 

[SUFCStu]

Well this is the real test.

Come on Southend.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Haha, fair play. I remember being late to a game against palace with my dad. We missed the Southend winner and nothing happened for the rest of the game. Won though

Be interesting to see how we deal with the threat of Matty Taylor

i reckon a 1-0 win, King with the goal

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Come on Southend score a GOAL

"Darrell Clarke is in Blues' technical area and Phil Brown is in the Bristol Rovers one!"

What's that all about? i'm guessing it's allowed?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Most of the possession, with the wind behind us..........think we need to get the advantage of a goal before half-time?

Not great, not terrible. We need to get crosses in but we have no one up front who can win anything in the air so need to get it on the floor

It's no coincidence that the other night at Sheffield United with Ranger starting we were 3-0 up in 15 minutes. He was everywhere and pretty much unplayable. After he went off injured we never looked like scoring again, even though we didn't need to.

Today we are really lacking going forward. Never thought at the start of the season that we would be missing what Ranger brings so much.

Mooney slows everything down and always looking for freekick where he falls on the ball.

So we need to get crosses in... But we don't need to get crosses in?
