Official Match Thread Southend United v Crawley Town

[Colchester and proud!]

All to play for then folks, next weekend hopefully if we beat Walsall and you and Grimsby lost to Exeter and Bolton the Essex derby could relegate you, but there again we could lose both games

Look on the bright side, Dover is a nice day out.

It wasn’t last time lol!!!

 

[TrueBlue]

Could have saved money on the draw by keeping MM Ron. ?

Nahhh don’t fancy a drip melt in charge thanks

btw im happy with the team and we don’t need anything more up front! ?

 

[MisterStubbs]

Can't wait to see the back of this season and majority of squad.

I'll take your word for it!

I’ve had enough of this ****e tbh .. we deserve to go down

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Agreed. our poorest attackers in living memory. V poor recruitment.

Poorest attackers ever, not just living memory.

 

[TrueBlue]

Exactly. But we kept being told that if we got a new manager there’d be a new manager bounce. It was just as bad, if not worse than normal today. Crawley are in awful form and had much better chances and deserved to win.

Behave drip ain’t in charge happy days

 

[Phippsy]

Lots of huffing and puffing. Clear cut chances blown by players who will be back at their parent club next season. It was an ok game to watch in all honesty between 2 **** teams.
Also any team which has a strike force of Dieng and Halford will never win a game of footy, and I'm not knocking the tanned one as he's only been back 2 minutes. But we are a goal scorer away from being a mid table team ......oh well ?

 

[sufc4life21]

Atleast we had a go! Ferguson was unlucky with that shot which hit the post. Crawley admittedly had their chances to.

 

[Supershrimper]

Plus point => Egbri did more in 21 minutes than RHF did in the previous 79

 

[damien]

We don't score goals, and our only extremely mild goal threats weren't selected to play in oly, ang, akinola.

Come on Phil do us a favour

 

[TrueBlue]

End of the day at least drip has gone

 

[sufcrocks]

Keep calm and .........carry on watching ?

 

[churnley]

I actually thought we looked a lot more attacking today with a lot more urgency. If we approached more games like that and could put the ball in the back of the net we wouldn’t be where we are. I actually fell more confident than I did after watching that.

Completely disagree. Looked exactly the same as previous games to me, but if anything less solid defensively. Not blaming Brown given he has had only one training session, but we had exactly the same problems as under MM - missing easy chances, afraid to shoot, lack of creativity. Wish I felt confident after that. Just feel depressed.

 

[sufc4life21]

Brown should drop reeco! Offers nothing to be honest.

 

[gatecrasher]

Halford is a decent target man in terms of hit him and he will control and bring others in...problem is they are about half a pitch away! Had chances in that game and the urgency was there - cutting edge was not. Thats a point closer to safety after Colchesters loss.

Behave drip ain’t in charge happy days

Yeah happy days, a 0-0 draw against a side that haven’t won in 6 games that pretty much relegates us. Oh well at least it’s a different manager overseeing the 0-0s.

 

[Holy Joe]

At least we actually got forward. If we had played like that for the last 9 home games, we wouldn't be where we are

I only saw second half, but looked exactly like how we have been playing

 

[TrueBlue]

See we may not have won but look we gave it some bloody fight! Vive la brown.
