Official Match Thread Southend United v Portsmouth - Checkatrade Trophy

[ESG]

Whatever the odd`s Plymouth are they are looking a safe bet for 3 points on Saturday. Don't like betting against the blues, but will take a punt me thinks.

Topped off with a Ladapo winner.

 

[HypoTypo]

I'm RM's great grandad. Still go running and absailing with him

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Oh dear, not another one.

Hummm...........not a prolific poster, his last (and first!) contribution was at the start of the season. We shall see soon enough.

 

[amsemp]

Yearwood the only positive in all that. Our man of the man by a long, long way. Looked like the only one who really, honestly tried. Led by example as the skipper, just a shame no one else fancied stepping up.

Massive blow losing Moore. Just a really, really bad night all round.

Hopefully CP is in there now absolutely bollocking the life out of them because that was appalling. Thank god Theo had the decency to get himself sent off recently so we don’t have to play him Saturday.

 

[Magnum PI]

We were better under Brown. That was just disgusting .....

 

[Barling Magna]

Oh blimey...................

That was as pathetic as it gets, couldnt be ar,,d from the start., Maybe thought they would walk it and they did walk. Barely anybody able to control a football, Bunn unusually as bad as Theo, who gave the ball away 4 times on the trot when had plenty of time to lay off a good pass.
Over run in midfield, Kightly useless, ( goodbye ) , No Intensity or tempo, standing around ball watching. Did we manage a single shot on target. Now goodbye Taylor W, good job weve already got new replacements in during this window ( cough , splutter ), Given away cheap free kicks every few minutes.

Money back please Ron and departure tickets I trust are already signed for half that lot?

Oh dear god, I forgot about him! Definietly going to bite us in the arse.

Did Chris Phillips and the the bloke who does the club official twitter **** off early too. Very little updates from both all night.

Mainly because absolutely nothing happened. Not sure what there was to update, we had about three speculative shots all game.

Can hardly afford to get rid of half of them as we'd have a squad of about 8. Another one injured, I just can't believe this season.

Ask RM I'm his cousin

If you’re Ron Martin’s cousin, seems very odd that you would be asking about tickets for a game.

Well that was the first game I had been to in this competition since the ill thought out changes made to it and it will probably be my last unless we make the Area final some time in the future.

It was the manner of the defeat that annoyed me most with almost a complete lack of enthusiasm and fighting spirit we lost far too many 50/50 challenges and very few headers albeit against a tall but youthful Pompey side.

Trying to find a positive I thought Taylor Moore was ok before his unfortunate injury and Dieng who only played the second half showed up well both behind the striker then at centre half after moving back there for the last 30 minutes. Also the scoreboard now fixed.

 

[AndyT]

Good news on the scoreboard.

I did wonder how the people who left early knew exactly what minute it was, but now the truth is revealed!

Now we need to get that '0' fixed against our name!

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Didn't enjoy last night at all. We didn't have a midfield Kightly and Hyam might as well have stayed in the dressing room. I am sorry but I still don't think Ted should have played. Thought a fairly lame attempt to keep the 1st goal out, although he couldn't do anything about the 2nd.

The only plus for me was Dru, who slowly seems to be finding last season"s form.

 

[Zeuss]

I never said he was our only problem but he’s been woeful again.

and again and again and again......
