Official Match Thread Southend United v Carlisle United

[CanveyCastle]

I just hope there isn't a "mysterious" fire at Roots Hall in the close season.

Insurance companies watch out.

That couldn't possibly happen. Could it ?

 

[BluBayou]

MM is going nowhere

With a wholesale clear-out next season will be year zero for the project. Deja vu all over again.

 

[Sussexshrimper]

So sad .. we are down ...I know we deserve to go down ...I love sufc but really wtf was that performance

 

[fleabag1]

It's just so strange how poor we are in the last 5 years. I hope we gave a ground and football club in another 5 years

Michael Jolley reportedly at the game today.

 

[Colblue]

Col U bought in Tinsdale to motivate and mentor a new manager as they can’t afford to go down. I think that level of experience in the dug out will prove the difference in league positions at end of the season

Michael Jolley reportedly at the game today.

No thanks

 

[East Green I 83]

He isn't out of work. He along with Darren Currie (who I wanted ahead of MM) have taken charge of Sheffield United's U23 side.

Yes I know, I should have checked before shooting my mouth off sorry.

 

[Wingnut]

Never won a

I know it doesn't feel like it right now after that clueless shambles BUT Col U remain catchable and a win for us on Tuesday and things might be a bit rosier for us. UTB

we are not going to catch them simple ,just going to run out of time

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Quite possibly, but my response was to the poster saying a new guy is the only thing that will save us now.
That ship has sailed.

I agree; I don't think sacking him will make a difference now; it should have happened months ago IMO. Therefore you may as well give him the start of next season, but I personally can't see how he will make us a decent side

 

[MisterStubbs]

Yes I know, I should have checked before shooting my mouth off sorry.

No need to apologise. I'd much rather have either of them in charge but sadly I think those ****s have both sailed.

Yeah all 4 sides burn down at once

An Act of God

Where did you hear this?

 

[Shrimper44]

ANG does well again. He deserves to be in a better team than this.

Don't think we were watching the same game. He runs/beats a man and then either falls over or passes to the opposition. Not consistent enough for me.

 

[Barry.C]

As soon as i saw the team sheet I gulped in total surprise. Couldnt believe we would start with Akinola, Ang, RHF and Acquah, with 2 of these having to cover midfield . Only 2 recognised midfielders on the pitch from the start was a clear recipe for disaster. Ferguson and Mc Cormack were always going to be over run and predicted if they are a half fit side they could walk through us because RHF and ANG are not midfield ball winners
You could argue it was either one of the bravest calls and a very high risk strategy in an effort to score or a very naive approach that risked a reasonable side easily getting on top which is exactly what happened from the outset
Team set up looked bizarre from the outset

 

[LBBlue]

I never ever thought some 60 years ago when I first started supporting SUFC that I'd see us drop into non-league,That's now inevitable.

Especially after Phil Brown announced that WOW signing in August 2017........

Michael Jolley reportedly at the game today.

Where did you see this? Not sure someone who was sacked by Barrow a couple of months ago will save us.

 

[Heinz]

Surely Dom Joly is more appropriate

 

[fleabag1]

I do like a shouter. That's why I said Steve Evans

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I am at a loss to work our the team tactics or plays.
We didn't do the basics, closing down was poor, running off ball poor, midfield after Macca went off poor, forwards never passed or worked together. No shots from open play. Corners shocking.
No plan A let alone a plan B
