Official Match Thread Southend United v Morecambe FC

[Tangled up in Blue]

Errrr the new Taylor? Gave the ball away once all game.

No the old one.Richard.

Morecambe's second goal was just awful.Funnily enough my wife came in at HT -she thought I'd be happy we were winning.I told her we were woeful and would still lose.

Yep a ridiculous inaccurate pass from Kelman. Or a brilliant through ball if played by a Morecambe player.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Off to the pub, again.

Me and the masked up barman have become good mates recently.

Match report: ugh

Oh well, as an escape I'll go and bury my head in the past again and go hunting for SUEPA. At least there I'll find players that gave 100% and had a bit of ability

Kelman's ball was awful but Hobson should still have cleared it.

Ha ha, my wife said more or less the same thing at HT, "well at least you are going to win for once...!"

 

[Blue Yonder]

Not sure where rock bottom is but we're still headed downwards. If it's the conference we can take heart from Luton. Not sure this group of players can be coached out of this even if we now seem to have a plethora of them. A shrink might be a better option. On field attitude wasn't a problem at the back end of last season.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Amazing Grimsby,Bolton and Oldam would appear to be as bad as us.Can't think of any other consolation.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I hope you're right mate

I take heart from Macclesfield under Sol. I know many on here don't rate him as a manager yet he managed to keep them up from a hopeless position by organising them.

But we need to build up the confidence.

If the players' confidence is like Zone's then it's over. Fortunately there are some fresh heads there Kyle Taylor, Shaun Hobson, McCormack and hopefully soon Akinola who aren't use to losing each week - indeed 3 of them made the play-offs last year. The fans are too jaded.

hobson hobson hobson an absolute monstrosity of a signing, and unfortunately tells you all you need to know about how out of his depth HH is... Green and Hobson jeeeezus

 

[Newms]

You off to Plymouth as well then?

Yeah you coming?

 

[united we stand]

Whoo....take more water with it chum. You're raving...

Shut up

[East Devon Shrimper]

Yeah you coming?

Yep, almost there.

 

[Shrimper44]

You will be a definite starter for the next game ?

Hobson Hobson initals

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

I don't think Hobson is that bad. He isn't that old, and very inexperienced, and playing in an awful side. I think given a run of games where he isn't under pressure for 90 minutes, playing with an experienced partner beside him he will do OK.

Probably have a OK career in League one/two.

I thought he did bloody well to almost stop the 2nd goal being left 2 against 1 thanks to Kelman's indifference, and Elvis's inability to bother busting a gut to get back.

I’d stick with Taylor and Hobson at the back, they aren’t the issue. The main problem is neither LB or RB actually want to defend and stop the crosses flying in. Both goals on Saturday were completely avoidable, despite the amazing through-ball from Kelman. If Macca is fit on at the weekend play Demi at RB. And swap Ralph for Clifford. He actually put that Carlisle player on his arse a few time when he came on. This league is nothing special and we could easier finish lower mid table. But it means we need to start being accounted for and at the end of the day the new kid is right. Man up or f**k off!

Agree, Demi at RB, Clifford at LB, with Ralph in front of him, and Green swapping wings for Egbri. (Assuming Macca is fit), I would also bring in Lennon for Taylor, as White appears to be awol.

Hopefully Akinola is fit too, as we have nobody running into the channels.
